Sorry. Regulations are very clear and in black and white for all to see before the event.
They weren't awarded 3rd for their "brilliance", they did however take podium celebrations of a team in 4th (now 3rd) who broke no rules and didn't get to celebrate their deserved podium which is a shame.
Their option was to change the starter. They may not have finished on the podium but it's a lot better than a dsq.
You can't make exceptions because it's the spirit of the sport within regs, tjey fall down if you begin doing that. For the sport to work it needs to be to the letter otherwise loopholes appear, teams try to get clever and it becomes a mess.
