He started the race 3.4lbs light that spoils his accomplishments and the entire race for many others too.

Apparently it's dry weight, they empty the tank before weighing. He was 1.5kg below minimum weight, a significant advantage and pretty cut and dry DSQ. Sucks for Mercedes but really changes how the race could have played out had the car been at spec weight.
Edit: probably 0.2s per lap and less fuel used for the same pace.
