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 mass of the car with the driver, fitted with dry-weather tires, but without fuel. The original limit was set at 795kg, but the limit increased by 3kg as teams struggled to meet it. There was a plan to reduce the F1 car weight by 2kg, but the plan fell through and the 798kg weight limit has been retained to factor in heavier tires and new mandated electronic items in the car. The weight limit is set by the FIA in their rulebook.
