Does anybody know when the rules moved from solely weight of the car to car + driver?

Certainly before Schumacher did another famous cheat - turning up for the start of season weigh-in with a helmet so full of lead he couldn't hold his head up with it on.


That's the first time I've heard this.

Any proof for this claim?

How would a lead-filled helmet assist a driver? The amount of force on their necks with the extra weight would be unbearable. Pray tell and share the info with us if you can


Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button. One of these drivers was never found with an underweight car.

Clue: he's German.

I thought the rules changed in '89..?....well before Schumacher's debut.

He's talking about BAR running a 'secret' secondary fuel tank allowing the car to run underweight.

Jenson is German?! Bloody 'eck!

Actually my cousin believes Jens is German, and regularly tries to tell me that Jenson isn't a British name and is very German. Admittedly he's only ten, but still... c'mon man, there's a british flag next to his name most times you see him!

Sporting a mullet:

Means he's half German.


If he had a moustache as well, you would be sure!

Christ, he was a scruffy bugger at times wasn't he? Jenson of old and Jenson of now are like two seperate people! But yes, he is practically German... I'll have to admit my cousin is correct, or avoid the topic by telling him Santa doesn't exist.
