This is the point I was skirting around but never made. If you 'lose' the sprint off the line, what is your plan? Turn right presumably?
Or drop into second place. I can't imagine many cars behind someone in a queue thinking "I'll gun it off from the lights", so if the first chap accelerates very briskly, the odds are he'll leave a decent gap to slot into.
Or buy a faster car
