I believe sky mentioned that the jump-start sensors didn't trip, indicating that he didn't cross (or touch?) the line.

Basically he stopped far enough back that his movement did not leave his designated area.

This is the rules reason he didn't get a penalty.

From a fairness standpoint, correcting from his early start threw him off and he lost a couple of places because he was slow on the real start.
