For several hours after today's Grand Prix, it appeared that Jenson Button might lose his third place, as stewards investigated the Englishman's car.
However, almost six hours after the race had finished, the stewards issued a statement giving the BAR 007 the all-clear.
"Immediately following the end of the race the car was weighed in the configuration it had finished and was above the minimum weight limit," read the statement.
"It was subsequently drained of fuel and then re-weighed and found to be underweight.
"The stewards after hearing the explanation of the competitor's representatives and studying all the available documentation decided that the matter requires no further action."
