Formation lap is almost over, as you push gently on the throttle and brutally steer 1 last time from left to right, trying to mantain a high temperature on your wheels. You know it's the key to get through the 1 st corner as fast as you can. Probably it will allow you to make a good start and overtake the two formula cars in front of you. They already reached their starting spots.
It's time to lift up gas pedal and focus on that yellow line on your grid spot. While gently applying pressure on the brake pedal, you try to gain every millimeter the regulation permits, and perfectly line up your front wing with the white line defining your starting position.
Now you are pushing the paddles on the bottom part of your steering wheel, disengaging the clutch. Shift from 2nd to 1st gear. Your formula car is still.
