I think you're wrong on number one. When viewed on my 55" LED, what appears to some as a step BACKWARDS off the rubber looks like actually F1 making contact with the rubber. I can see his pivot foot still in front of the rubber when he makes his move.
I hate giving credit to announcers, but they seem to see the same thing.
