I’ve edited the poll to allow people to change their votes for a while.

Lewis wasn’t under investigation for being underweight. He’s the race winner.Man that sucksWhat about Lewis?
Oh ok, I was skim reading catching up and thought they both were. Oh well, hollow win I guess.
Yeah wouldn’t like to be in George’s shoes
Especially after he really made that victory himself.

A bit of a shame as it was masterfully driven to get the win but rules are rules.
How was it "masterfully driven" ?
On what metric are you basing that on? It's quite clear that everyone else just flubbed the strategy.
Or, of he was that much underweight, that is likely why he won anyway.

Exactly as hollow as Piastri's last race then.

Yes. Fuel doesn’t count towards the final weight.
His car was underweight, they don't count fuel for minimum weight so somebody has cocked up in the mercedes garage.
It's 0.15 seconds a lap effectively if he was 1.5kg underweight, that's not a small amount over race distance (around 7 seconds) and doesn't account for the impact on tyre deg either. It's a slam dunk disqualification and all the teams know that. Feel for him but the rules are the rules and probably played a part in him being able to make the 1 stop work anyway.

Gutted for George. Perez lucky to still be P7 in the WDC. I can't see how they can continue with him being the deadweight now.
