When you pull the clutch, clutch discs are disengaged (appart) and don't turn the geabox. Thus, the starter spines more freely, even if it is in neutral. Some cars only starts the engine if the clutch is pulled, apart from safety purpose, just to make the start easy. I allways pull my chutch in, hot or cold.
