PWP: A Monza bonanza of points

The points-scoring ways of Williams Racing weren't left for Alex Albon in our trip to Monza.

Our free-to-play game, Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, also dished out points to nearly all players.

The feel-good factor extended from Italy to our fans' screens as the eight questions posed saw a record number of perfect scores this week.

How did your tally compare, and did The Strategist take the coveted Pit Wall Perfection badge? Let's find out.

A mixture of one and two-stop strategies were at play in this race, and the FW46 cars stopped a little later than many others.

Nonetheless, both Franco and Alex's pit stops came within the Lap 11-20 period, on Laps 16 and 17, respectively.

82.5% got points for Alex here and 73.2% predicted Franco's first F1 pit stop timing, with The Strategist right on both counts.

Cars made contact and there was a retirement in the race, but there was never any need for a Safety Car to slow the field down.

This was no surprise to 38.5% of players. However, The Strategist's prediction of 'one' did not materialise.

Both Williams Racing drivers ran the same strategy, with Franco the car to pit one lap before his teammate.

Great news for most players, including The Strategist, as 55.3% backed our Argentine ace to be our first to stop.

Opting for the one-stop strategy meant both cars had lengthy runs on the hard tyre once they swapped Pirelli rubber.

The Strategist showed great insight by noting that the one-stop is typically quicker in Monza and that Williams Racing usually run strategies in tandem to score points for both drivers.

Perhaps more players should've followed them for these questions, as 32.2% were right with Alex, and only 15% for Franco.

The same strategy for both cars led to the same answer for each Alex and Franco PWP question this weekend.

Each car ran the white-ringed rubber to the chequered flag, just as The Strategist thought.

Most players backed those predictions, too, as 67.4% (Alex) and 65.4% (Franco) took more points in the final questions.

The Strategist's Score: 7/8 – So close to perfection for The Strategist, but just shy this time in a very high-scoring PWP weekend.

They'll be happy with that score, though, but not as delighted as the 70 players who navigated all eight questions correctly to secure the Pit Wall Perfection badge.

Italy saw the most common score being 5/8, which 21.2% of players managed, and only 0.7% left without picking up any points.

The results have shifted the leaderboard, with two players now sharing the top spot, while The Strategist advances from P8 to P7 with 310 points ahead of Azerbaijan.
