This game seems so weirdly balanced to me. If you're first, and good enough that none of the carnage from behind is reaching you, there's basically nothing short of maybe 2 consecutive blue shells that can threaten to take you down. If you're on any other position, it can literally change within seconds, but if you're first (and far enough away) it's a very stable position to be in. This is mostly from observing though, I've only played the game a little.
