Okay I went full crazy hyperfixation mode and decided to factcheck what the drivers said their heights were in the Grill the Grid video based on this photo of them walking side by side.
Long story short : I had to correct perspective, lense deformation and track curvature the best I could based on the assumption that Lewis and Kevin are the same height and Zhou just slightly taller. I used Lewis as a benchmark for the whole process because as he’s in the center of the frame he’s least subject to the deformations. Then I calculated a cm/pixel ratio based on his presumed real height and height in pixels in the image and used that to calculate everybody else’s supposed real height (also trying to take fluffy hair into account when necessary).
Here’s what I found (height stated in the video compared to calculations) :

The purple box is Lewis’ height. I used it to calibrate the perspective. There was a difference of 2px between Lewis and Zhou which is roughly equal to 1cm which should be their actual height difference which means the perspective should be correct.
Valtteri is much shorter than he’s supposed to be which is weird because Zhou is the right height and Lance taller than he said so if it’s image deformation I don’t get what kind. Seb is also shorter than he said, as is Ocon, but Ocon is visibly slouching so that explains it.
Alonso is slightly taller than he said he was. Both Charles and George are the right height which exposes Carlos, who’s in-between them and shorter than he said he is. Nothing to say on Lewis because he was the benchmark.
Max is the right height. Sergio is taller than he said. I used the purple box that shows Lewis height to check it and he fits in it perfectly (messy hair aside) which confirms it. Lando did indeed not have a growth spurt, he’s not 176cm. Both Pierre and Yuki are the right heights.
Latifi isn’t 186cm but he also said in the video none of them tall drivers were standing straight. Apparently Albon didn’t get the memo because he is 186cm. Mick and Kevin were also correct.
Of course Daniel wasn’t there so yep.
Here’s the full picture for reference
K bye !

I think one of the bits at the Spanish gp is that all the drivers should get measured together and we can find out who was lying. Then they have to explain themselves

"oh its the pinnacle of motorsport" bitch please seb vettel arrives, after missing two races, on his little gay bike and has already committed crimes, the fia is trying to find out who has a prince albert only to backfire bc lewis and max are out there seeing each other nipple piercings, the mclaren and alphatauri guys are doing some homoerotic shit with lando saying he likes to let his hands wander around when hugging his teammate and yuki calling pierre his boyfriend and pole sitter charles leclerc is doing idk charles leclerc stuff that man is insane
