2023 Formula 1 drivers’ height and weight...
Who are the heaviest and lightest F1 drivers?
Unsurprisingly, the tallest drivers also are amongst the heaviest –
Alex Albon, Nico Hulkenberg, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen are
all over 70kg in weight. Esteban Ocon may be tall, but he’s very
light, weighing just 66kg.
Yuki Tsunoda, as the shortest driver, is significantly lighter than
the rest of his peers. The Japanese driver is just 54kg in weight (or approximately nine stone).
Fernando Alonso – 1.71m 68kg 23.3
Lewis Hamilton – 1.74m 73kg 24.1
Nico Hulkenberg – 1.84m 78kg 23.0
Valtteri Bottas – 1.73m 69kg 23.0
Sergio Perez – 1.73m 63kg 21.0
Kevin Magnussen – 1.74m 68kg 22.5
Carlos Sainz – 1.78m 66kg 20.8
Nyck de Vries – 1.67m 67kg 24.0
Pierre Gasly – 1.77m 70kg 22.3
Alex Albon – 1.86m 73kg 21.1
Esteban Ocon – 1.86m 66kg 19.1
Max Verstappen – 1.81m 72kg 22.0
Charles Leclerc – 1.80m 69kg 21.3
George Russell – 1.85m 70kg 20.5
Lance Stroll – 1.82m 70kg 21.1
Zhou Guanyu – 1.76m 63kg 20.3
Lando Norris – 1.70m 68kg 23.5
Yuki Tsunoda – 1.59m 54kg 21.4
Logan Sargeant – 1.81m 71kg 21.7

Which invites a calculation of their BMI!
(Using the original m/h^2 bollox which makes tall athletes appear like >chubbers - I can run it with a different exponent if people really GAF)
Fernando Alonso – 1.71m 68kg 23.3
Lewis Hamilton – 1.74m 73kg 24.1
Nico Hulkenberg – 1.84m 78kg 23.0

Given that BMI penalises tall athletes, Esteban must be one skinny
chappy. And presumably, as he's is no giant and BMI penalises (by being >higher) the more muscular, Lewis is the most buff.
However, they're all so close I think this just proves they're all
just fit adult males.

I'm sure I could tell them apart in a dark nightclub, but point taken.
I'm sure Danica and Jamie would weigh in at about the same level.
Phil
But not quite the same shape ;)

In some race categories,--- in F1 too? ---- the machine and driver together must weigh the same as every other machine+driver.
Not "the same".
In my class, that weight is 1,110 lb. (It used to be 1,100 lb., but when
the class changed to a spec tire that was heavier than those previously
used, the minimum was increased slightly).
The minimum weight for F1 cars with driver included is 798kg. That
weight was going to be 795kg, but some teams struggled to meet that
minimum and so the FIA bumped it up by 3kg.
The rules around this have changed somewhat over the years. At one time, teams were allowed to "top up" certain of the cars fluids before being weighed, but this resulted in teams carrying water for "cooling" that
was simply dumped after the car moved off and then added back after the
race; allowing the car to run at a lower weight for the entire race.

I believe that in F1 there is a minimum weight only. They can be over
that weight (but for obvious reasons rarely are by much).

From 1928 through 1937 the AIACR regulations for cars contesting Grand
Prix events were primarily about weight, leaving engines essentially unregulated:
1928 weight 550-750 kg
1929-33 minimum weight 900 kg
1934-37 MAXIMUM weight 750 kg
The logic behind the last was that larger (and even dual) engines, while giving more power, inevitably came with more weight and therefore could
be controlled with a maximum weight formula. Mercedes and Auto Union
soon demonstrated that this was ineffective in practice.

The reason that the Silver Arrows became silver is said to have been
because the team removed the white paintwork in order to meet the 750 kg requirement (allegedly :-))

Alleged by Neubauer himself, although he was known to be less than fully reliable:
"There is however, controversy and doubt regarding this story. It did
not appear until 1958, and no reference to it has been found in
contemporary sources. It has since been established that von Brauchitsch
had raced a streamlined silver SSKL on the AVUS in 1932, which was
called a Silver Arrow in live radio coverage. Also, in 1934, both
Mercedes and Auto Union had entered the Avusrennen with silver cars. The
next big event was the 1934 Eifelrennen, but as few cars complying to
the new rules were ready, it was held for Formule Libre, so weight was
still not a race-critical issue at that time.[1] By the 1930s, modern stressed-skin aircraft fuselage construction was already using polished
and unpainted aluminium panels for streamlining and to save weight. Neubauer's 1958 autobiography has been shown to include several
embellished stories and dubious claims, including a fabricated hoax surrounding the 1933 Tripoli Grand Prix, where he falsely accused
several drivers of "fixing" the race.[2]"
