It's my understanding that the FIA only checks four cars at every race, selected completely at random, and that no one has been disqualified on this since the 1990's.
I would guess that this was a calculated risk, that the teams knew the cars were too low and just assumed they would not get caught. I would be surprised to learn that any team at this level would make such a "mistake". I wonder how much of a performance advantage they gained. Could Lewis have caught Lando without this advantage? Maybe George's performance answers that question.
