Waiting at the start was always a good way to avoid that initial pileup and give yourself a nice clean racing line. I often did that last year and felt it helped me win races. As for the rest of the race, you made mistakes and died, and so did most of your opponents. The red guy who passed you a few times often made bad choices and missed gates or hit pillars allowing you to pass him back.

Of course there's rubber banding, at some points on the track when you were in last place the gates were so wide that you literally could not miss them. But is it different from last year? Or is there an additional rubber banding effect going on? You have far more conspiracy theory that evidence given that video. Do note that someone did beat you by several seconds and you never even saw them much less caught up to them.

Ultimately, whatever rubberbanding is in place, obvious or not, did not make you competitive. And, again, your delayed start probably helped you just because you didn't have to fight five other racers during the start of the race...
