His Mercedes-AMG GT3 raced at its standard 1,355kg, just like last year. The “penalty” stems from a misleading headline about a “brutal BoP penalty” that spread unchecked across Reddit and other sites. The 35kg difference cited actually existed between his car and the McLaren 720S GT3 — a known weight gap in GT3 racing, not a penalty. The Mercedes, with its front-mounted V8, is inherently heavier than mid-engined rivals. This is a textbook case of social media amplifying a single statistic out of context — a reminder to always verify before believing.
