Sitting at pole was Jimmy Damgaard, confident and focused, his rigid Red Bull gleaming with a cyan glow under the mild Belgian sun ahead of nineteen other F1 cars.
With steady hands on the wheel, Jimmy's visors were down and clear as day, giving him an unobstructed view of the track's looping nature. The reflection of the circuit on his polished helmet mirrored both the challenge and the thrill that awaited him in this Belgian GP since he was starting at pole.
Right behind was the infamous Luigi, the Black Dread, with an obsidian Mercedes looming like a predator, its sharp lines radiating menace under the sunlight.
Impatience was the word to describe the aura surrounding Antonio Luigi and the W12. Although impatience was a familiar trait of anyone starting second on the grid, Luigi's posture screamed reckless impulsiveness.
A warning even came from Race Control, instructing him to stay within his box and not cross the line before the start procedure.
