    For those who are going to come back, this wasn’t a mistake or an aborted start, this was to catch which teams were cheating by figuring out when the lights were suppose to go out and playing audio in the drivers ears in order to perfectly time the start of the race.

      I think only 2 teams were using it .McLaren and another team at 5th one at back which also jumped start.the white car in 4th and yellow in 1st was focused at McLaren at 2nd and 3rd instead of lights because I think they knew McLaren was using it because of there perfect start so instead using technology themself(because production took alot of time) they must of tried to focus to launch at same time as others.So the other white car team and yellow car team driver didn't launch away because they really behind in the grid and McLaren were really far away.So I only McLaren and black car 5th team were the technology.
      But that was not cheating at all because it was not in the rulebook.and the technology was really smart tbh.but fia pulled even smarter move.

      That's simply not a coincidence. On a 30 FPS video like this, the chance of 4 cars starting to move at the exact same frame without having some sort of start signal is 1:810.000 (or 1:331.000 if you assume the original video is 24 FPS).
      That it also happened to be 4 of the 5 front cars, while everyone else stayed still simply just confirms the theory.

    For anyone watching this video who thinks the FIA tried to trick the teams and drivers - it's a myth. It's not true. The start was aborted because of a problem at the back of the grid. The reason why several cars all moved at exactly the same time is because they reacted to the flashing orange "aborted start" lights appearing directly above the red lights.

    • @Stimor
