I can only imagine that the pilot had reason to believe something was wrong the moment the forces began to lift the front wheel and change the aircraft dynamics, which definitely is in the extremely fast changing grey zone for a lot of conditions highly dependent on the exact aircraft and it’s current conditions. Light payload and fuel loading pushing V1 very close to takeoff speed and lower than the maximum numbers, headwinds, engine conditions, etc… it’s definitely a case of “sometimes pilots do have to make quick decisions” and my money is on engines or the hydraulics when they first took load on the moving surfaces as the aerodynamics shifted passing V1 towards takeoff speed.
