Mine In my opinion, that would have more than one advantage in different areas. ” Of the 35 – year-old is not the only driver who is bothered by the high weight of the bolides.

weighed a formula -1 car just at the beginning of the millennium 600 kilograms, it will be with the new regulations from 2022 at least 775 Be kilograms – mind you without fuel. Over the years, things like Halo and the hybrid drive have kept the weight skyrocketing. A development that, for example, Sebastian Vettel criticizes .

If the car slipped, it would be easier to catch it. This would make driving more aggressive. It would also help the tires. “

And if you attack more, then the likelihood is greater to make a mistake you have to be extremely careful about how much energy goes into the tires and how you use them. You have to think more about them. In the past, you could accelerate with lighter cars, “he recalls.

“You drove differently. But I know that it is probably impossible [das Gewicht zu reduzieren] because the cars are much bigger today”, Kubica has no illusions. “A lot of people don't realize that. It's incredible,” he says of the bigger and heavier cars. “Before my accident I was 2011 last drove a Formula 1 car, “he recalls.

Another point of criticism that Kubica lets through in the conversation are the punishments that have increased over the years. His favorite fight was “definitely with Felipe [Massa] in Fuji in the wet [2007]”, he reveals. “It was an incredible fight for more than five or six corners. Today there would be many penalties and many penalty points,” he laughs.

During the duel in Japan, both of them came off the track several times, and there were also touches. “We were there a lot back then – but respectfully. We enjoyed it and were able to laugh about it right after the race. But it was a tough fight,” remembers Kubica. There was no penalty for either pilot at the time.
