<= How i imagine Jenson next year in order to stay competitive.

So after that clickbait title:

The actual story

Tl;dr: maximum weight for f1 cars next year is tight enought that tall drivers are now in a disadvantage and have more trouble getting a seat for the year.

The weights of these drivers are just crazy. I'm 6', 77 kg, and vary from.08-.09 body fat; I can't imagine/ wouldn't want to be any lighter/skinnier.

Way more of an issue for Hulkenburg who at something like 6'1" and 165lb is bigger than any other driver. Which is DAMN SHAME because I think he's one of the most promising young drivers. Hopefully he can stay and grow (no, ah f' it, all pun intended) in F1.

But if not, I'd LOVE to see him race in Indycar.

Well.. the easy (and the right, IMO) thing to do is just raise the minimum weight. all problems solved and it's a fair (as far as fair goes in F1) game for everybody again.

What is this, thoroughbred racing?

I'm pretty sure F1 cars can be made to produce multiple horsepower.
