Not necessarily.

Pirelli will have given the teams so data on how many laps the tires can run safely; which is not to say quickly.

And if Spa had the traditional cool down lap, he could probably have picked up enough rubber to have made minimum weight.
Yes, he went pretty much straight in. But so did the others ...
Yeah, as Spa is such a long lap they don't do a cool down lap, they go into the pitlane backwards.
Not to suggest 1.5KG would have likely made a difference to HAM passing him.
Well it sorta did though. ;)
