Just realised that no-one answered your question F1Y (or at least not correctly). With regard to the weight, they can pick up as much as a kilo'. As far as recycling is concerned, I vaguely recall one of the tyre technicians being asked this question at the beginning of this season (I think). Apparently they destroy and dispose of the old tyres as hazardous waste since they don't like the idea of other tyre manufacturers getting their hands on the secrets of their compounds.I assume that the tyre debris on the track is less of a concern due to the chemical changes that will have occurred during the processes of wear and degradation - I don't recall that issue being addressed by the technician. How that debris is disposed of is probably down to the owners of the circuits.
