McLarens underweight?
That's what certain people seem to think, due to the teams slightly lackluster celebrations and the extreme attempts to pick up rubber all the way into the pitlane.

I'd be more concerned by the wear on Jenson's plank - that car was rubbing quite severely at Turn 8 for the entire race.
It was a strange atmosphere in the drivers' press conference, no doubt about it.

Lewis's subdued demeanor did seem a bit odd, that would certainly explain it. But surely Jenson will have mentioned to the team that the car needs to be up to the weight limit even when all the fuel has been taken out?
And they had enough gap to save a lot more fuel if they needed too.

And Webber's missing a few parts of his car too. Schumacher going to win his first race then?

I think there was a slight air of disbelief that Red Bull handed them the victory, plus some confusion over Jenson's unique way of saving fuel by racing his team mate!

It's the "save fuel" thing.
Notice how just before the podium when Jenson asked Lewis this and Lewis turned his back on the camera and muffled his response.
Jenson's performance at the press conference was slick horrible to watch, but that's the price you pay for driving for McLaren.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
