After a promising Sprint Saturday that saw Carlos finish P3 and Alex charge to P6, Sunday’s United States Grand Prix told a very different story.
It was a bruising afternoon for thousands of our Pit Wall Predictions players, including our secretive Grove guru, The Strategist, who watched their predictions unravel early and walked away from Texas with a rare zero-point score.
But how did you get on? Let’s dive into the details and see where the points were made (and lost) in Austin.
