Why do they weigh F1 drivers after the race?

Formula One, best known as F1 is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile.

The World Drivers’ Championship, which became the FIA Formula One World Championship in 1981, has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950.

The word formula in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants’ cars must conform.

A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads.

Formula One cars are the fastest regulated road-course racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce.

Why do they weigh F1 drivers after the race?

F1 drivers are weighed after each race for two basic reasons.

The first is to find out how much weight they lost during a race.

The second is to make sure they and their cars are not below the minimum weight stipulated in the rules.
