When the lights go green to start the formation lap Ivansmiven starts to go and realises that the cars ahead have not gone and so he stops. This leaves him forward enough to mean that the car 1 place in front of him is now out of view on the left. When the cars in front do start moving, Ivan now assumes that the car he can see is the one to follow, and Munkez loses his place. Ivan keeps the place until the start proper.
I think this was an honest mistake (I did exactly the same in GTL when these starts were new to me). It was made more likely by the fact that PRibeiro appears to move early ahead of Ivan. Since it didn't affect the result (Ivan went off half a lap later) I propose to only issue a caution. Could everyone please note though, the rules state that you must not move on the grid until the car in front moves. That actually means the car 1 place in front, which will normally be to one side. Please focus on that car from the start and only go when it has gone.

Ivansmiven spins on the exit of Macleans and ends up facing back down the track. In his haste to rejoin he attempts a spin turn even though he can see the car of Don approaching. The spin turn leaves him stationary in the middle of the track and Don has nowhere to go. The resulting contact takes Don out of the race and Ivan retires.
There is no excuse here, especially as Ivan was facing the oncoming traffic and therefore should have been able to pick a gap. A much better choice would have been to drive across the track onto the grass on the other side and rejoin at a gradual angle, as this would not have left the car stationary in the middle of the track.
