The British summertime delivered once again on Sunday, with ever-changing conditions throughout race day at Silverstone making it a tough one to call.
For Pit Wall Predictions players, presented by Gulf, it meant needing to be on top form to bag a decent haul of points from our home Grand Prix.
But how did you get on – and did you outscore our Grove guru? (Spoiler alert: you probably did.) In fact, four players nailed a perfect round, securing the ultra-rare Pit Wall Perfection badge.

The Strategist’s Score: 0/8 – 0 Points
Not the home race our Grove-based guru had hoped for. To give them the benefit of the doubt, they submitted their predictions well before Sunday’s forecast took shape… but still, no one wants a zero-point round on their record.
That result sees them tumble from Rank 57 to 217 – but there’s plenty of racing left this season to mount a comeback.
At the top of the table, four players hit a remarkable 8/8 (40 points), adding the Pit Wall Perfection badge to their collections.
