Charles Leclerc and Gasly were both disqualified for their cars being below the minimum weight limit, whilst Lewis Hamilton was disqualified due to the rearward skids on his car being below the minimum thickness.

Would the missing part of the front that Leclerc ran pretty much the full race without have caused the issue?
If someone car loses a part but they can finish the race would it cause the weight issue?
Damaged parts can be replaced with like parts before weighing to ensure that damage isn’t the cause
Hamiltons car was the skid plate. The Ferrari post about it from the team said they were 0.5mm under, which is a small amount. I believe it’s also from over the whole weekend, including sprint race.
They also said that Leclercs car was 799kg, not the 800 (measured twice). Something about running a longer single stop stint meant the tyres lost slightly more than planned as a two stop tyre would have weighed more at the end of the race.
