Vettel wasn’t disqualified because he used to much fuel. Cars can only use 110kg, but are allowed to carry more (for instance 115, for inlaps and that one L for analysis). In the “good old days” this was also the rule (started around the NA years in 1989 when they banned special fuels). Those years also had a max fuel tank size.
On most tracks cars on relative long races underfuel and have to save gas, it’s the fastest way from start to finish. Most likely last weekend none of the cars had 110kg fuel on board.
What do you mean with the rest? Can’t really make heads or tails from it.
DQ was due to failure to provide the mandatory fuel reserve, as rules required,
whether by omission (lighter load) or, by commission (more energy/force expended).
If the race is in effect, a form of economy/endurance run, rather than a full-blast 'balls-out' event,
then such exigencies of minutiae are compelling, as the DQ amply demonstrates..
