Wouldn't that be considered moving under braking, or did they kill that rule?

They got rid of it for this year.

Ricciardo & Perez have both been handed a reprimand for missing the pre-race anthem on the grid.

Presumably because the sensor in his grid slot was able to detect his car.

I think its one of those "you got away with it, this time, but you won't again" to stop people doing it in the future.

Nope. According to Alex Wurz there was an incident last year where one car was (like Vettel) positioned a bit outside its start box. In the following drivers briefing Charlie clarified, that this was acceptable, therefore setting a precedent. Vettel used it to avoid the rubber on his starting box. However, im curious if it will catch on and we'll have messy grids from now on since Charlie said it was legal.

I think it's a slippery slope. After all, where do you draw the line? Half the car inside the start box? Just two tires? Just one?

I remember seeing the start procedure for 1978 italian gp (the one where Ronnie Peterson had his fatal wreck)

cars didn't even stopped at the grid, they were just rolling slowly and then full throttle
