“The stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and determined that the video appeared to show that Car 4 moved before the start signal was given,” their report began.

“However, the FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted on the car did not indicate a jump start.

“Article 48.1 a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations states clearly that the judgment of whether or not there was a jump start is to be made in accordance with the transponder, which did not show a jump start. In the circumstances, we took no further action

This is not an excuse to ignore a case where there is clear visual evidence of a car moving before lights out.

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.
