Auto Racing: F1 Racing, british grand prix, distribution opportunities


Question
In recent years who was the heaviest in american pounds to race

Answer
Thanks for the question. I confess I don't know the answer.

Mansell (in his 1995 comeback for McLaren) was probably the heaviest in recent times, but I haven't been able to discover his weight,sorry.

Historically, the heaviest ever F1 grand prix winner was probably José Floloan Gonzalez who raced in the 1950s and won 2 British Grand Prix in a Ferrari. In recent times regulations have effectively penalized teams for running larger drivers so drivers tend to be small and light in order to give the team the flexibility to design small cockpits and maximise weight distribution opportunities, which make a big difference to car performance.
