Reason
The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the team representative. When Car 23 was released from its jacks, parts of the right front tyre blanket got caught under the car. Despite attempts to remove it, the car left the grid with a cable still attached, violating the requirement to clear all equipment after the 15-second signal.
