Charles Leclerc and Gasly were both disqualified for their cars being below the minimum weight limit, whilst Lewis Hamilton was disqualified due to the rearward skids on his car being below the minimum thickness.

Certified Ferrari moment.

I'm not even sure what to say anymore. The only team that's been in the game since day 1 and they still can't do shit right on a regular basis it's actually amazing.

Those three disqualifications are huge for Haas and Williams, giving Sainz his first point for his new team too:

  1. Ocon

  2. Antonelli

  3. Albon

  4. Bearman

  5. Stroll

  6. Sainz

Since, at least on my client, the numbering gets reset to 1., here is a list which maybe doesn't get formatted falsely:

  • Ocon 5
  • Antonelli 6
  • Albon 7
  • Bearman 8
  • Stroll 9
  • Sainz 10

Interesting that it gets reset for you, what app do you use?

Would the missing part of the front that Leclerc ran pretty much the full race without have caused the issue?

If someone car loses a part but they can finish the race would it cause the weight issue?

Damaged parts can be replaced with like parts before weighing to ensure that damage isn’t the cause

Hamiltons car was the skid plate. The Ferrari post about it from the team said they were 0.5mm under, which is a small amount. I believe it's also from over the whole weekend, including sprint race.

They also said that Leclercs car was 799kg, not the 800 (measured twice). Something about running a longer single stop stint meant the tyres lost slightly more than planned as a two stop tyre would have weighed more at the end of the race.

So, my fantasy team which included LeClerc, Alonso, Gasly, and Ferrari had a great day.

I pre ordered a Lewis Hamilton Ferrari hat before the season started and I still haven’t received it yet, I kinda hope it gets lost in the mail at this point…
