Ross Brawn believes that lighter cars would "turn the clock back" on Formula 1

Ross Brawn has responded to the calls for lighter cars stating that it would not be possible in the hybrid area of Formula 1. Formula 1's Managing Director believes that removing the hybrid element of the cars would be "taking a backward step" and that there are instead other things which should be done first in the 2021 rule changes.

“There are some things we can’t turn the clock back on,” he said to RaceFans.

Formula 1 cars used to be a lot lighter but in the modern era, there seems to be no way of doing this without radically changing the engines. InsteadFOrmula 1 will look to introduce rules like refuelling so that we can see some fast racing.
