      I believe sky mentioned that the jump-start sensors didn’t trip, indicating that he didn’t cross (or touch?) the line.

      Basically he stopped far enough back that his movement did not leave his designated area.

      They were too busy giving 10 sec penalties to Magnussen for actual racing. Ok maybe the Albon pinch was penalty worthy but 10 seconds?

        I thought so too but it sounded like that was the new rule this year that they had to give a 10 second penalty.
