Did you survive the Lap 7 curveball? Check your scores now…

The 2025 Qatar Grand Prix was always going to be strategically unusual thanks to the 25-lap maximum stint rule, but few expected the race to be turned on its head quite so early.
A Safety Car on Lap 7 locked almost everyone into the same strategy, triggering the first round of mandatory stops far earlier than most predicted. And with so many players banking on the Lap 21-30 window, that single deployment sent Pit Wall Prediction scorecards sliding across the board.
But a handful of sharp-thinking players still navigated the chaos – including one standout who nailed all eight questions, claiming the coveted Pit Wall Perfection badge.
Here’s how the round unfolded…

The Strategist’s Score: 2/8 – 10 Points
It wasn’t the night our Grove guru hoped for. The Lap 7 Safety Car tore up the expected script, and once both drivers boxed early, several predictions collapsed in one swoop. Their tally moves to 325 points for the season.
At the top of the table, our championship leader continues to set the pace at 465 points, though the title fight is far from over – their nearest challenger sits just 15 points behind with one round remaining.
One final race, one final shot at Pit Wall glory. All eyes are on Abu Dhabi.
