Sauber was on the weight limit at the beginning of 2022. Redbull went into the season with quite a bit of excess weight.
Who won the WDC+WCC by the end of the season and who finished P6 in the WCC, consistenly off more than 1 second? Weight doesnt really matter if you generate no load or/and castrate yourself by having a shorter car
Sauber was screwed when teams voted to raise the weight limit at the last moment, negating most of the weight advantage that Sauber had. It then only took 4-6 races for most teams to get their cars to the minimum weight.
We can only hope that Aston Martin can cut its weight that quickly, given the rumours that the car is significantly overweight at the present.
