Fiction? Tire sizes are mandated within the F1 regulations. This year, three tire specifications are offered at each race with differing COF's (chosen from hard, medium, soft, supersoft, ultrasoft). Aerodynamic aids (diffusers, front and rear spoilers, end plates, undertrays, keels, cascade elements...) produce as much as 2500 kg of downforce to increase effectively the weight of the vehicle.
Sounds like F1 teams are implementing mman1506's thoughts...
BTW, Abu Dhabi GP is this weekend to decide the championship...

The difference between a robotics kid and a generic nerd. Both use their calculators for statistical analysis. One keeps it a closely guarded secret, the other brags about it on Chief Delphi! - Kevin Leonard [more]
