How Did Your Spa Strategy Stack Up?

Spa-Francorchamps did exactly what Spa-Francorchamps does – delivered a bit of everything.

Round 13 of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, saw a wet start, a quickly drying track, and plenty of opportunity for chaos. The Belgian GP proved a challenge to forecast, but that didn’t stop 18 players from landing a perfect score and earning themselves the coveted Pit Wall Perfection badge.

Let’s see how you and The Strategist got on in one of the trickiest rounds of the season so far…

Alex came in on Lap 12, putting him into the Lap 11–20 bracket. A solid start for the 71% of players who got it right – and a miss for The Strategist.

Carlos also stopped on Lap 12, matching Alex and rewarding the 64% of players who stayed in the same bracket. The Strategist was right on this one.

Carlos set our best time on Lap 30, making Lap 24–34 the correct answer. Just 35% of players nailed it – and The Strategist, expecting a late push, missed out.

The race officially started behind the Safety Car, meaning one SC period was logged. 53% of players got this spot on, as did The Strategist.

We made three stops – one for Alex, two for Carlos – catching out many in the process. Only 20% of you called it, and The Strategist overshot with a guess of four.

Alex ended his race on Mediums, sending five points to the 34% of players who chose correctly. The Strategist went for Inters.

Carlos took the flag on the Hard compound, a call landed by 46% of the field – but not by The Strategist.

Alex brought it home in P6, placing us firmly in the P6–P10 bracket. A huge 83% of you were bang on – and The Strategist closed with a win here.

Not quite the rebound our Grove guru was hoping for. A couple of close calls and a misread on the tyre forecast saw points left on the table.

That said, with the most common score being 4/8 (20 points), plenty of players found this a challenging round – even with a drier-than-expected track. And if you're one of the 18 Pit Wall Perfectionists, take a bow!
