I think the rule of thumb is if you catch it and stop before starting again you're broadly OK. It happened in 2020 IIRC with the same result but for the life of me, I can't remember who
This is not the rule. The rule as it currently exists is completely based on if the sensor detects movements which are greater than the amount specified by the regs. If Norris had started moving 0.05 seconds before lights out but moved a low enough distance as to not trigger the sensor, it is considered a legal start even if he made no attempt to 'catch it'.
Yep that's exactly my concern. This seems abusable. Drivers could theoretically stop further back from the grid and use that distance to get the car rolling before fully dropping the clutch, limiting tire slip. Someone posted the rules about grid placement and while there is a rule against sideways position or angle, there isn't anything about being further back. It's probably not going to happen but I personally would try that short rolling start in practice just to see.
