Robert Kubica the lightest driver in Abu Dhabi as the FIA reveals F1 car weights ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The
FIA has published the post-qualifying weights of the cars ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with
Robert Kubica the lightest driver heading into the race.
The Pole goes into his final race with
BMW Sauber weighing in at 654.4kg, putting him just lighter than Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP.
Pole man
Lewis Hamilton is the fourth lightest driver on the grid and will be pitting earlier than closest rivals
Sebastian Vettel and
Mark Webber on race day. However, the difference between the cars doesn't explain the large gap between Hamilton and the rest in qualifying.

Fernando Alonso and
Romain Grosjean on heavy fuel loads, with the pair being easily the heaviest cars on the grid.
