According to the FIA technical regulations, the minimum weight of a Formula 1 car in 2023 is 798kg (1,759 lbs) . This weight includes the driver, but not fuel. The original limit was set at 795kg, but it was increased by 3kg as teams struggled to meet it. There was a plan to reduce the weight of the car by 2kg, but it was dropped due to the addition of heavier tires and mandated electronic devices in the car. The weight of the car can fluctuate during a grand prix weekend, but the FIA sets a minimum weight for the car that teams need to hit.
