Ericsson put on a diet

Like all his tall colleagues, due to the new regulation, also the new arrival Marcus Ericsson, 1.80 cm tall and weighing 69 kilos, had to put himself in a brace and to do so, as reported by Eurosport Sweden, he asked for help from a specialized Italian clinic.

“The team hasn't imposed any specific weight on me, but I'm getting help to lower myself a little so that I still have enough energy to physically and mentally handle a two-hour race – explained the 23-year-old – It should be borne in mind that in the car It's pretty hot and there's a lot of gravitational force to deal with, so there's no point in being skeletons. You also have to eat to recover from the fatigue of training, the only thing you have to do is give up hamburgers midday and evening! It's a shame that the FIA ​​wasn't able to intervene on the minimum weight, it would have put everyone on the same level. Today three kilos is equivalent to a tenth per lap, consider that my partner Kobayashi is seven/eight lighter than me... I can't cut off my leg!".
