Do F1 teams make a smaller car (smaller driver's compartment) for drivers that are much much shorter?

Question

smaller cars mean the cars are lighter.... may be an advantage...
and I mean the driver is short that he can't reach a normal F1 car's gas or brake pedal...

Answer 1

When teams have a very large difference in height between drivers they have often had to use a relay pedal situated much nearer the driver's seat to press the real pedal. Williams had to do this in 1986 and 1987 due to having one of the tallest drivers of the time (Nigel Mansell) and a quite short one (Nelson Pïquet). They did this rather than constructing a smaller car so that if needs be they could alter one car to suit the other driver.

Answer 2

Don't think so. The FIA has specified the measurement and spec for each car. So I think what they do is customize the seat cause some drivers are too tall and some are shorter than average. Then they might have customized brake pedals as long as they don't break the rules.

Answer 3

While the size and location of the cockpits is the same in every F1 car. Each driver has a custom fitted seat and have preferences to where the steering wheel and pedals are positioned.

Answer 4

No because 1-the cars dimensions are controlled by F1 rules and 2- they need every possible space inside the car since the formula car is a very complex car and every possible space is used

Answer 5

No they cant, the measures of the car are very specific in this matters. The pilot cockpit is molded for each pilot using Fiberglas model from the pilot´s body.

Answer 6

No you are thinking about horseracing. they make phonebooths for fans, and a smaller sized phonebooth for jockeys.

Answer 7

no they cant
they cant breake FIA's rules n regulations
