PWP: Three players share the lead going into the break

The Belgian Grand Prix is complete and Formula 1’s summer break has arrived, providing a well-earned rest for the drivers, teams and our Pit Wall Predictions players too.

Constantly changing conditions and little dry running meant it was a hard race to call and just 15% of players scored half marks or higher.

After the latest round, we are left with a three-way tie at the top of our global rankings, with the trio boasting 245 points each.

With 10 rounds left to go and 400 points up for grabs, we are set to see the 2022 winning points tally of 355 smashed.

But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, see how you got on in Spa by clicking the link below. Keep reading to see how your answers compared to other players and 'The Strategist'.

Alex switched the soft tyres he started on for mediums on Lap 7, placing him well inside the Lap 1-10 option bracket.

One of those players was The Strategist, with what proved to be their only correct prediction.

Alex’s longest stint was his first spell on the medium compound, where he ran for 16 laps.

This placed him within the 11-20 laps bracket, an option selected by 54% of fans.

Like Alex, Logan also managed a longest stint of 16 laps, placing him within that same second option bracket.

Slightly fewer were correct on this one, 47% to be precise.

Alex went on a late charge with soft tyres fitted, much to the delight of 8% of PWP players who called it right.

8% of players were spot on with their call on the final question,

Oh dear, it was a tough week for our Grove Guru. Sharing their predictions so early in the week left them high and dry (ironically) and unable to react closer to lights out, a privilege our players have.
