the only thing i can see is maybe he swaps them out more often as he'd does a full inspection before each race so more likely to catch things before they go BAD

taking off is usually the hardest time for sprockets.

naw... I was serious... I figured it'd be just as hard during acceleration out of a corner... but yeah when I think about it... the start is the hardest acceleration you do... for the longest usually too...
