Lighter drivers may have advantage with KERS- Webber

By on

As weight distribution seems to be on everyone's mind now that KERS and slicks will be used beginning next season, Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber believes that lighter drivers may have an upperhand regarding weight distribution on their cars.

This being so because the less a driver weighs the more options the team has when moving ballast around. "Unfortunately it looks like the guys on the heavier side could potentially find it more difficult,' said Mark Webber in an interview with 'autosport'.

"This shouldn't be used as an excuse, though," he added, "The weight distribution could turn out to be absolutely perfect once the car is designed. It is just there's less scope for the heavier guys."
