Not saying one way or the other, but just to chime in on this one, isn't the weight of the driver, being separated, from overall car weight for the first time, next year?

Yeah, next season there will be a minimum driver weight....80kg if I remember right, any driver under that weight will carry ballast which will be placed in a position determined by the fia so no advantage cant be gained....something along those lines (remember Lewis saying he was looking forward to bulking up a bit.....probably an extra 4 lettuce leaves a day whoooo hoooo)

80 kg it is indeed. The ballast is placed in/on the seat of the driver.
Good decision by the FIA expecially for the taller (and thus heavier) drivers on the grid like #33
