Post-qualifying car weights
F1 Grand Prix, GP Malaysia, Sepang International Circuit
The FIA has again released the car weights after the qualifying session. It is with this weight - which difference is determined by the amount of fuel the cars carry - that the cars will start tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The following table shows that the Brawn GP cars are again some of the heaviest. Sebastian Vettel on the other hand is the lightest of the front runners, possibly a strategy solution to anticipate his 10 place grid penalty.
Behind Raikkonen in 9th place however, all cars are considerably heavier than the front runners.
