Furthermore, if the car had warm tires in the front, and cold in the rear (where DAS has 0 effect) this is a recipe for a very tail happy car, and a great way to achieve a spinout.

Hamilton's car was balanced at the restart, like it was the rest of the time. So unless it has magical carpets warming both front and rear equally, it tells me HAM simply drove better.

Because Physics!
Vehicle dynamics suspension wise or from somewhere else. There's no way he could pull away like that just by his footwork,physics can only do so much.
