Belgium delivered its usual blend of excitement, strategy, and even post-race drama, with positions changing in the hours after the chequered flag.
Spa-Francorchamps tested our drivers, but also players of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, who had eight questions to answer before the Belgian GP.
A high-scoring round means points for many, but how did you stack up against others, and perhaps more importantly, did you beat The Strategist?
Q1 & Q2: On which lap will Alex/Logan make their first stop?
Nico Hulkenberg attempted an early undercut to trigger the midfield to end their first stint soon after his Lap 7 stop.
Alex and Logan's Lap 8 swap for Mediums was a double-stacker for our crew, meaning both were comfortably in the Lap 1-10 bracket.
That's two early wins for The Strategist and points for 32.8% (Alex) and 42.8% (Logan) of players, too.
Q3: When will our fastest lap of the race be recorded?
Logan's penultimate-lap overtake on Hulkenberg had car #2 record our fastest Belgian lap of 1:47.490.
That meant "Lap 36-Finish" was the correct answer here, just as The Strategist thought, with 32.2% of you following suit.
Q4: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
The Strategist used the stop-start F2 and F3 races as their barometer for a Safety Car intervention, but the F1 drivers were far better behaved.
If you went for "Zero" like 36.9% of players did, well done, you wrong-footed our Grove Guru, who chose "One".
Q5: How many pit stops will our drivers make between them?
That Lap 8 double-stack stop had Alex and Logan switch from Mediums to Mediums, ensuring they'd be running a two-stop strategy.
No surprises there for 40.5% of you who correctly went for "Four", with The Strategist's "5+" selection not coming true.
Q6 & Q7: Which tyre will Alex and Logan end their races on?
Alex and Logan both concluded the Belgian round on Pirelli's Hard tyres, which proved a less common prediction.
Hats off to the 18.5% (Alex) and 19.7% (Logan) who foresaw this – or followed The Strategist's advice to choose the white-walled tyre as the answer.
Q7: Where will the leading Williams driver finish the race?
George Russell's disqualification didn't change the PWP grouping here, with Alex's P13 morphing into a P12 to keep points for the P11-P15 backers.
Congrats to the 58.1% who predicted this, along with The Strategist.
The Strategist's Score: 6/8 – A much-needed bounceback from The Strategist after the Hungarian GP's poor showing.
That score means they're among Belgium's highest-scoring 3.5% of players this year.
Most players took home 15 points or more this weekend, as 56.3% secured a 3/8 or higher.
Three of you even secured the illustrious Pit Wall Perfection badge by getting all eight questions correct.
One player can enjoy the summer on a high, sitting alone atop the standings with 285 points, 25 points clear of The Strategist, who has 260.
