Motormouth94 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Even at 54kg, the BMWs (and Subaru’s in theory) could be as much as 84kg heavier than the FWD cars.
However that clearly wasn't such a disadvantage over a season, since a BMW comfortably won the championship last year... And this years' BMW seems to have an even bigger advantage
