About upgrading F1 cars, I think it is kind of development. F1 cars get faster as the season progresses. The F14T at Australia 2014 would be around 2-3 seconds a lap slower than the F14T at Abu Dhabi 2014.

And reducing weight, they don't go all out full light at the beginning of the year. Mostly parts are reinforced with more layers of same material to improve reliability. Then they gradually take off layer after layer until the car is the lightest it can be. The same problems hit Mercedes this season, car is overweight. They are focusing on reducing weight to catch up to Ferrari. (Did I just say that after witnessing the last 3 years??)

Also, world no.1 at circuit de catalunya TT few weeks back posted a time of 1:04. To put that into perspective, Hamilton's pole lap was 15 SECONDS SLOWER with a car said to 5 SECONDS A LAP FASTER THAN 2014 cars. That's how unrealistic Real Racing 3 is....... Lol, it looks like RR3 evolved the F14T into a kinda prototype like the MP4X :D

And thanks for the info. I didn't know they were trying lighten up the vehicle without lowering it's reliability too much. Very interesting and a risky gamble! It's like trying to pull cards one after another from a card tower without making it fall :D
