    A few minutes ago Lewis Hamilton post a picture on Instagram saying that for the next season he must put back the 6kg he has lost for this year's season due to the change of the regulations for the drivers in 2015 which comes to 10kg limit.

    Do we have to except different car's design?

    I thought the weight limit is both car plus driver. This year the weight limit is lower than next year, I think that's all this means.

    One of the drivers was quoted as saying he was only eating lettuce or something before one of the races this year and was reported to be pretty sick because of the lack of eating. Maybe that's what led to upping the weight limit for next year.

    That and hopefully in order to allow competitive but 'big' drivers like Hulkenberg to have a fighting chance of driving and winning in a 1st tier car.
