Whiting on kertonut selityksen sille ekan lähtöyrityksen uusimiselle:
""I aborted the start because there was uncertainty, and I always want to be certain (or as certain as one can be) that all is well before pressing the start button," Whiting told Motorsport.com.
"Firstly, Perez had pulled up in the wrong position but, after a few seconds in that position, began pulling forward. And, at the same time, the marshal responsible for the light panel beside Kvyat's car pressed the yellow button which indicated a problem.
"Neither I nor my colleagues in race control could see a problem so I felt the safest option was to abort and send them off on another formation lap."
There was no firm answer as to why the marshal had triggered the yellow warning signal for Kvyat, but the situation could have been triggered by heightened anticipation following a small fire on the car as the team had worked on the car on the grid.
Whiting added: "It was clear from the video that there was nothing wrong with Kvyat's car nor did he make any signal, so it may well have been a case of nerves on the part of the marshal.""
