"Here we are in Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix. First row of the grid is Lewis Hamilton and..."
Jamaica sat in his Williams, tapping the edge of the steering wheel as his race engineer walked off. The race was about to start. Luckily, he started 19th instead of 22nd as usual. Maldonado qualified 13th though...
"Radio check."
He pressed a button on his wheel and responded.
"Loud and clear, why though? The radio was just fine this morning?"
"You looked a little tense buddy. Look, just get those divebombs and we'll be fine."
He glanced at the Williams section of the pit wall, his crew chief giving him a reassuring thumbs up.
Then the first light lit.
Then the second.
Third, fourth, and fifth.
Waiting for the lights felt like an eternity.
"The lights are out and away we go! There's Alonso into second, Hamilton around the outside, Nico Rosberg trying to shuffle himself on the inside, get that outside line for turn two. Lots of movement in the middle of the pack, Satsuki who got dropped from 19th to 21st on the start leaps into 13th! He's ahead of his teammate now, as to be expected from the rookie this race. It's bloody amazing how he manages to find these little gaps no one else can and exploit them at the start. The leaders have settled into a rythym but Perez, Button, and Gutiérrez are three wide into turn four, THROUGH GOES SATSUKI INTO 10TH PLACE! ANOTHER BRILLIANT DIVEBOMB FROM THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!"
