F1 can be so pedantic at times, to its detriment....
I have no issue with rules. What I hate is when they enforce the rules arguing the spirit in which the regulations were written rather than how any reasonable person would understand them or how they’ve always been interpreted.

Simple version. Remember when crossing the line meant crossing the line not staying to the right of it or moving completely over it? Or designing a car that is in technical compliance but being declared not “in the spirit of the regulations”?

1.5 kg is massive. If they allow 1.5kg today, tomorrow someone will push for 3 kg and then 10kg, etc.

The fact that teams don’t complain over losing pole position by 0.001 seconds means they have no excuse to complain about 1.5kg. It’s a precision sport.

I’m agreeing with the enforcement.Sheeesh. My criticism with the stewards is where they’ve been bamboozled in the past not enforcing as it’s written.
 
So I presume the cars are weighed before the race then again after the race.

Accounting for fuel, 2.5kg just vanished?
If picking up marbles on the cooldown lap negates the 2.5kg then all it is really is imho is pushing regulations to the very limit. They should weigh the cars without the tyres since it’s a standardized component but I’m guessing that’d add
Complexity.
