The chequered flag has fallen on a damp weekend at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace for the São Paulo Grand Prix, but how did your predictions hold up?
We’ve dug into the results from Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, and Tyre or Lower to bring you the most popular calls, the ones that caught most of you out and the questions that split the community.
Pit Wall Predictions
How well did you read the São Paulo Grand Prix? From grid slots to pit strategy, there were plenty of tricky calls to make, and the conditions made it even tougher. Let’s see how you got on!
The popular call
You were firmly behind the leading Williams finishing in the P11-P15 bracket, with 69% backing it. That proved a good call, with Alex leading us home in P15.
The closest call
Our combined grid position divided opinion. 53% went for 29–36, but 38% correctly backed 20–28, with Alex starting P9 and Carlos P12 for a combined total of 21.
The one that caught you out
Position changes were hard to call. 68% backed Alex to gain 1–3 places and 69% expected the same for Carlos, but Alex went from P9 to P15 and Carlos from P12 to P19. Just 1% predicted a 4+ position loss for either driver.
Tyre or Lower
How did you fare in this week’s Tyre or Lower? From the opening lap to our fastest lap speed, there were plenty of questions to test your knowledge of the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The popular call
Nearly half of you, 48%, expected Alex and Carlos to gain more than two places between them on the opening lap. Higher proved to be the right call, with Alex gaining two places and Carlos one.
The closest call
Little separated you on whether we’d see two Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car deployments. 37% went for Exactly Right and 35% for Higher, but just 28% backed Lower, the correct answer, as there was no neutralised running at all.
The one that caught you out
The winner’s margin of victory was a tricky one. 63% expected a tight finish and went for Lower on a gap of 8–12 seconds, while only 23% correctly backed Higher. Lando Norris won by 14.6 seconds, with the remaining 14% going for Exactly Right.
