The chequered flag has fallen at the Sepang International Circuit for the Bahrain Grand Prix, but how did your fantasy weekend unfold?
We've gone back through both Pit Wall Predictions and Tyre or Lower to highlight the calls that proved most popular, the predictions that caught the majority out and the questions that split the community.
Pit Wall Predictions
How well did you predict the race at Sepang? With changing conditions, delays and Safety Cars, there were some tricky calls to make. How well did you do?
The popular call
The community was particularly confident about Alex's position change, with 71% predicting that he would gain between one and three places during the race.
Sadly the actual result proved to be a little harder to settle, with Alex ultimately retiring from the race after 41 laps.
The closest call
Question four was almost impossible to split. 51% predicted Carlos would be the first Williams driver to pit, while 49% went for Alex.
Carlos was ultimately the right pick, stopping on Lap 9 just seconds before Alex made his own first stop on the same lap.
The one that caught you out
The tyre Carlos would finish on proved to be one of the tougher calls of the weekend. Just 10% predicted softs, while 42% went for mediums and 25% for hards.
Carlos completed the race on the soft tyre, making this one of the biggest opportunities for those willing to take a punt.
Tyre or Lower
Tyre or Lower put some very specific race scenarios to the community, with plenty of opportunities to pick up points and a few predictions that went in a very different direction once the race got underway.
The popular call
Just 22% of players predicted that Williams would score exactly two points, while 49% went for Lower.
With Carlos eventually finishing P17 and Alex classified as a DNF, the correct answer was Lower, meaning the majority were on the right side of this one.
The closest call
Question three was almost perfectly split between the options, with 39% predicting an exact answer, compared with 35% going Lower and 26% Higher.
A Williams car was indeed the 8th-10th car to pit, making Exactly Right the correct call.
The one that caught you out
There was plenty of confidence that the Grand Prix would finish inside the 1hr 30mins–1hr 35mins window, with 61% of players predicting the race would be shorter.
The race had other ideas. With the rain delay and the unusual conditions, the chequered flag didn't fall until 1hr 47mins, making Higher the correct call.
