Look at the qualifying weights, and the lap they are supposed to stop at.

Then do weight/laps.

That's not engineering level math by any means.

Lewis:

48kg / 17 = 2.82

Kovi

50 / 18 = 2.78

So somewhere around there, in the conditions we saw, but this is for KERS cars, and could be different.

Either way the car weights are shown on the formula1.com, and you just need to subtract 620kg from the total weight, as that is the "Dry weight"

Correct, 605.

I got the numbers from this site :)

Here is a repost of the image that was posted by another user, "The Local Ride".

Looks like the info was compiled by the Williams team for the economy numbers.

there should be enough there to figure it out. We got some good sleuths on here.
