Fuel doesn't matter:
The rule that quashed Russell’s victory and handed a second win of the season to Hamilton is Article 4.1 of F1’s technical rules, regarding “minimum mass” of each car.
This states: “The mass of the car,
without fuel, must not be less than 798kg, at all times during the competition.
