What are you all on about...
He clearly didnt pass the line, and gained NO advantage.. It screwed up his start, what more is there to do?!

Also, jeeze, the stewards had a LOAD to do at the start and this was clearly a low priority incident as he had already been "punished" by his mistake.. It takes time to investigate the more serious collisions that took place on the following corners...

It's so fashionable to bash the stewards...

I thought the rules was like MotoGP. If you move before the light turns green. It's a false start.
 
Sensor didn't trigger and he wasnt on the line.

Ferrari international assistance eh :D

Doesn't matter. He moved before the lights.

36.13 - Either of the penalties under Articles 38.3c) or d) will be imposed on any driver who is judged to have :

a) Moved before the start signal is given, such judgement being made by an FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted to each car, or ;

b) Positioned his car on the starting grid in such a way that the transponder is unable to detect the moment at which the car first moved from its grid position after the start signal is given.


38.3 The stewards may impose any one of the penalties below on any driver involved in an Incident:

c) A drive‐through penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane and re‐join the race without stopping.

d) A ten second stop‐and‐go time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in his pit stop position for at least ten seconds and then re‐join the race.

Will be interesting to see their reasoning then
 
The stewards "MAY" impose any one of the penalties...

The penalties are there to stop people gaining an advantage from a transgression . He gained none and caused no one else any problems....
I am not a ferrari fan boy, but I have no problem with this situation at all..

I'd be fine with that except that it's not what has happened previously. Drivers who jump the start, stutter and lose places have been penalised in the past. It's the inconsistency.

Leclerc not getting penalised is the bigger fail.

So why the inconsistency with Kimi's in Sochi?

Also, if you're going to focus on one word...

Which bit of thin air are Sky picking those tyre performance % figures from on the new graphic? LOL.
Haha, I thought the same thing :D

The jump start thing is very hard to judge without the data and looking at it in uber slow mo.

Look at Bottas' start from pole in Austria in 2017.. His wheels moved BEFORE the lights changed, but the sensor detected it as clean, and no penalty.

I think it's common sense not to punish a driver twice for a mistake that gained them no advantage and cause no one else a problem :D
