The result is raising the ride height and losing performance. IMO the sprint "win" (which his ride height was even lower than the GP) should be stripped. It's amazing how often this guy gets caught cheating or attempting to cheat but I guess if you cant actually beat them you can attempt to do this or you know, cut a bunch of corners and hope you don't get a penalty for it (queue the money the FIA got from MB for all those years).
Fact of the matter is, it's a very steep uphill battle in any championship and while Lec is strong I don't think he's currently strong than Max, Nor, Pia, or Rus. Ham is definitely not stronger than Max, Nor, Pia, Rus, or Lec. Ham might be able to beat Kimi but that's a big if. Ham has never had to actually compete or win against opposition this strong or in these numbers. He will need to outscore legitimately 4 or 5 drivers and I just don't see that happening given his pedigree.

I don't think anyone was cheating in this instance. HAM and LEC aren't responsible for ride height, weight or fuel load. Ferrari were living on the edge and got busted plain and simple.
