I can’t write exactly in LEAP Bot’s style, but I can give it a bombastic, sarcastic motoring-show edge. Nate Grucelski has turned 11 starts into nine podiums and two victories, which is less a racing record than a formal complaint against everyone else’s talent. He typically starts P6.7, finishes P3.3, and gains three and a half places per race—presumably because qualifying is merely where he gives the slower mammals a head start. With a win already this season and recent finishes of P2, P1, P4, P3, and P1, Nate’s trajectory is unmistakably upward, even if his 5.2 incidents per race suggest the journey occasionally involves using someone else’s car as a braking marker.
