The race began strong and solid, the roar of all twenty engines echoing throughout the expanse of the circuit as Luca, the pole sitter, shot off the line with perfect power to conquer, leading the grid into the opening corners of the seventh race of the season.
It was a bright afternoon above George Park, full of life and vibrance, the crowd cheering and applauding, a sea of varying colours and waving flags saluting the spectacle of pace and valor.
Luca did activate Grid Launch to effectively blast off the line in that flawless, explosive manner that many drivers often aim to perfect. And thankfully, the Sigma held itself together without any hiccup like the kind that plagued him in the Canadian Grand Prix.
The power delivery was smooth, and it functionally matched the RVM of the A-level engine. As a result, grip bite was perfect, not a second was lost, and Luca's mechanical doubts immediately vanished with the smoke that was disgorged from his Pirellis.
