This is not an accurate account of what happened, Brundle brought up the jumped start during the podium interviews; 11:20 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A59aD_yoCJE ; and before that with Bottas himself.

The start footage seemed to suggest that Bottas moved his fingers before the lights changed, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewFiTO_R1KE
