Strange mistake to make? Could it be something more? Like a Mercedes being underweight for qualifying?

Is it possible that Rusell spent more petrol during his defence and now he was underweight because of it?
No. The car was underweight by 1.5kg without fuel, meaning he had a tenth and a half advantage every lap. At the end of the race that would have made a reasonable difference to the tyres too.
That means whatever they did to the car on saturday, which then later went into parc-ferme' , there is no way to check the lagality of a car before qualifying and before a race ? How does this whole 'car legality' work ?
Yes thats trye, they qualified out of position too.

If done right he is already disqualified, the stewards just need to type it up.

Both. I read something about the car not being fully drained. I'm curious how it was not fully drained, twice.

And happened to be at exactly the weight limit of the team drained the car after the race.

Tires are about 10kg each. So he needed to lose 0.4kg on each tire more to be underweight. Not sure how much tire is used but I guess it is possible. Still a bit strange that they have this issue, it is such a basic thing.

I don't think it matters. A rule is a rule and it's about time they start sending penalties to any other team that isn't Mclaren.

P2 confirmed for Oscar!

Wonder what all the people slating the McLaren strategy team for not doing a 1-stop are saying now if RUS DSQ was indeed driven by the strategy switch

It's official. P2 confirmed for Oscar Piastri. Rusell has been disqualified. Karma is a bitch especially for what they did to Lewis.

At this rate Oscar will surpass Lando on points in the next few races. No matter what Lando does he cannot get the start without losing 2 positions and still managed to find himself below Ver that started on 11'th.
