Be carefull guys, dont destroy your race and others in just first lap, there are 58 to go

Totally agree.

I've seen different type of driving depending on the setup that can bring some tense action for the first laps:

Cars which lay all effort to the front right tire. The front right tire heats up quickly and therefore from the very first lap these cars have lots of grip and lap really fast. Coming around lap 5-6 they start losing momentum as they overheat that tire and lose time quickly.

Cars which are balanced in a way that weight is equally (theorically) transfered to both front and rear right tires. These cars need 2 or 3 laps to bring tires to optimun temperature lapping not as fast as the other cars at that moment.
When temperature comes if driven not too aggressive they can lap constant quick times lap after lap with no significant loss in performance.
These cars need to be driven very tidy. If driven aggresively they endup overheating the front, suffering the same problem as the first group of cars, or overheating the rear suffering from oversteer and making things worse.
