No.

Fuel burning is just not part of this.

Could you explain to me the thing with fuel, and why it might be "deliberate cheating" according to some ?

Responsibility of MB crew to extract the fuel at end, if they realised it was going to be under weight, then told the stewards that's all they could get out of the system...... knowing they've left some in there deliberately to make up to minimum weight, then that's fraudulent.

Hmmm ok interesting

[Farnborough]

Yeah so there is something literally missing from the car.

Either different chassis to Hamilton or missing ballast, which then would beg the question why one car has more ballast or different chassis?

And if it isn't that I can only assume it's plank that is worn enough to lose 1.5kg and still be legal somehow????

It's confusing.

IF ..... they've "counted" on having marbles stuck to the tyres from cool down lap, then no cool down lap means no additional weight picked up.

That's very, very close to the mark if they've wrongly relied upon that to meet such a hard/fixed target. Its only 375gm per tyre though to accumulate.

Yes, thanks everyone for clarifying the fuel/weight thing. Such a strange thing to happen, massive blunder. Gutted for George, congratulations to Lewis.
