A throwback race start with a Heineken spin is in order. 

Line up each team; the drivers and the pit crews.
Have them all chug a HeinE, ( 0.0  of course ) one at a time.
Starting driver is last in the line then has to run a 100 yards to their car. 

Starting order would be set by the winner of the chug and run race.

Time penalty imposed for (fake) beer left in the bottle. some formula of seconds per CC.

That win's the longest postedforum link award.  The ride is sweet but I figure he is wearing a headset as you can also see the mouthpiece.  Must be negotiating the final price!!

Edit to add the following review: (not from Verstappen...)

Verstappen for another win.  A clean and very entertaining start.  The track conditions (intermittent rain) made for challenging tire management decisions.
