Four races into the 2026 Formula 1 season and one Atlassian Williams F1 Team fan has already set the benchmark in Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
Samantha currently sits joint-top of the overall leaderboard on an impressive 115 points after the opening four rounds of the year – no small feat given the unpredictability that came with Formula 1’s new regulatory era.
With fresh technical regulations reshaping the racing, strategy calls have become harder than ever to predict. But Samantha has managed to stay one step ahead of the curve, consistently banking points across the opening stretch of the season.
Her standout moment came at Suzuka during Round 3, where she achieved the elusive perfect weekend at the Japanese Grand Prix.

By correctly answering all eight Pit Wall Predictions questions, Samantha secured the ultra-rare Pit Wall Perfection badge and a huge 40-point haul — a score that helped launch her to the summit of the standings.
So, what’s the secret behind her strong start?
“I first started playing just to see how well I could do, and it spiralled from there,” Samantha explained. “Now I make sure to put my predictions in every race week to get my points.”

As for her strategy?
“To take the hints from the app, with a bit of knowledge from the practices and weather report and pray honestly.”
Like many fans currently climbing the leaderboard, Samantha’s Williams story began in recent seasons.
“I first became a fan of Williams in 2023 because I really enjoyed the driver lineup and the team dynamic,” she said. “It’s a very community-driven ‘all in this together’ vibe.”
That sense of connection is also what keeps her returning to the Williams app each week.
“I love the ability to access exclusive perks such as giveaways, photos that may not be seen and games such as Pit Wall Predictions.”
And with plenty of races still to come in 2026, Samantha knows there’s a long way to go before anything is settled — both on track and in the predictions standings.
“If I had one thing to say to fellow Williams fans, it would be: chin up! It’s a long season and new regulations are always an uphill battle, but we have great drivers and a great team behind them, so the only thing we can do is keep our support strong!”
