    Weren’t they both running the new floor? That would mean that they both should be underweight?

    I suspect they mucked up the driver ballast, minimum driver weight is 80kg, so if you weigh less than that the team have to add ballast. I’ve heard that they got the ballast the wrong way round between the two cars and Lewis weighs more so his ballast is less…

      For some reason I thought George was tall enough to weigh about 80kg on his own, but it seems not.

        Nah he weighs noticeably less than Lewis as Lewis has always been pretty stacked for a F1 driver and Lewis put on muscle when the weight limit went up
