Paul Di Resta has been disqualified from British GP qualifying combination of car and driver was 2kg under on the scales, deducting allowed error margin that means 1.5kg over.
Paul himself weighed in at 1kg under his registered weight. When weighed latter Pau'ls weight was back up to his required weight.

The bummer is the team cannot ballast up the car because that counts as changing the setup under Parc Ferme rules.

He can change setup if he starts from the pits I guess...

Must have been poor toilet break timing...

Obviously Force India were being a wee bit too marginal with their car weights but something is wrong for the FIA scales to be out by 0.5kg considering the accuracy of modern electronic scales.
As for the driver weight ????????????????????????

He's starting from the back of the grid.
