outflat is absolutely right.
Team GBR are interpreting the regulation as though it read:
"Only a supplementary device temporarily connected to the car may be used to start the engine in the pits or on the starting grid."
If you move the word 'only' to the beginning of the sentence, it reads quite differently, but that's not how it was written.
I don't think they will get anywhere with their protest, but we'll see...
