Obviously there is no real source of the information there and I thought that they used more than 1.6kg per lap back then? Which is what his calculation suggests. If true 10kg is half a second. That feels more like it.

Adam, you have done some good work here!
I would tend to agree, it does feel more like it!
No matter how you dress it up a driver who is 10 kg heavier than another is a significantly disadvantaged, and you would need to assess the penalty when selecting drivers, which is why I believe Hulkenberg has not got a top drive.
It could account for the performance difference between Webber and Vettel.
