It's an oddity there is no mandatory weight or mandatory ballast location for the bodywork!? Huge oversight IMO.
Yes just read that, though I guess they can still ballast the driver on the floor which still gives a lighter driver a slight advantage.

Teams usually put the remainder of the ballast after the engine is at its limit under where the icebox is to even it up with the drivers weight.
