Button Pulling Away in 2nd

Post

The sky commentators just spied JB pulling away from the pits in 2nd gear... It could be just trying to keep the rpm low to stop wheelspin, but could it also be that McLaren have found a sneaky way of bipassing the "Pit stops: No gear change is permitted after a pit stop and until the car speed gets within 10km/h of the pit lane speed limit when leaving the pits." rule?

They just explained that they are just "breaking in" the gearbox.

It's not a new thing. Lewis did it in free practice (albeit in a practice start from the live grid) in 2011 Abu Dhabi free practice.
