MODERATORS
If there's a problem, the FIA will change the rules. Why some people are so adamant on inventing problems that don't exist lol. Norris didn't get any advantage. On the contrary, he had to abandon the start and start again later than everyone around him.
This is not an excuse to ignore a case where there is clear visual evidence of a car moving before lights out. His movement could have spooked other cars into moving which could have ruined their starts. You can see people making jump starts in response to other jump starts often in athletics especially in short races like 100m, etc.
Also it was not a case where he drifted just a few mm. He moved nearly half a wheel rotation in that false start and somehow the transponder either didn't pick it or found it to be within limits. Either the way the transponder sensitivity has to be improved.
What were stewards supposed to do with this "evidence", when the rules clearly state what is jump start and how it is measured?
Review and possibly change the rule for the future. Admit that the way the rule was written is not good enough.
Most people are not upset that Norris didn't get punished. Forethought is a good thing if there is a way to gain an advantage teams will do it, I wouldn't be surprised if a few teams figure out how to game the sensor by the end of the week.
