RB tyre issue is due to two reasons - the car is designed to run in clean air, thus easier to drive smoothly saving tyres; all cars running in dirty air suffer greater tyre wear, that is why they don't run nose to tail unless the driver behind knows he can send the pass.
Electronic - software - starts are not permitted. As Ant explained in post-race the clutch is set at an initial point for the grid start and at lights out the slip is managed with the left lever set on the back of the steering wheel.
You can hear the car shudder under wheel spin Lando induced.
