Formula 1 Cars Breaking Apart on Impact Is Weighty Issue to Alonso

The full impact of the ever heavier Formula 1 cars is the focal point of the discussion following Mick Schumacher's frightening crash at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

That is the view of Fernando Alonso, who since making his Formula 1 debut way back in 2001 has seen the overall weight of F1 cars increase from 600 kg (1,322 pounds) to today's almost 800 kg (1,760 pounds).
"The accident we saw was very serious," Alonso said. "It was almost like Jeddah again, where Mick's car was also split into two halves. The gearbox was separated from the chassis, as it was again in Monaco. Luckily he was alright, but I hope Formula 1 and the FIA will draw the right conclusions."
