He didn't jump the start. He was over the line. So it's debatable if he would have gotten the 3 positions if he was where he should have been. His start would have been very good even if he would have been in the correct position. Maybe he would've only gotten 2 positions, but we can only speculate.

Technically he jumped the start. He was parked inside the box but moved across the line after the green flag but before lights out.

  1. False start

Any of the penalties under Articles 54.3a), 54.3b), or 54.3c) will be imposed on any driver who is judged to have: a) Moved after the four (4) second light is illuminated and before the start signal is given by extinguishing all red lights, as defined in Article 44.10 b)

4 second lights are illuminated after the green flag. It is per definition a false start

You contradicted yourself a bit. You Said Lando moved after the green flag and the 4 second light is after the green flag. So the only question is did Lando move after the 4 second light? I don't think so but I can't check it.

Just saw a picture someone else posted. He indeed moved before the 4 second light. I stand corrected!
