Did you beat the average this week, and did The Strategist continue their solid point-scoring run?

The 2023 Mexico City GP was a race of two halves that saw a red-flag interruption turn some teams' strategies on their head.
We adapted to the situation and scored two points after the restart, but how about you?
Four players navigated the unpredictability in our free-to-play game Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, to secure the elusive Pit Wall Perfection badge with an 8/8 score.

Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?

Alex's hard tyre start had him running deep into the race before pitting for a second set of Pirellis when the safety car appeared.
Only 16% of players chose Lap 31-40 to score points here, with 40% incorrectly following The Strategist by choosing Lap 11-20.

Q2: On which lap will Logan make his first stop?

The low tyre degradation that Mexico City has a reputation for remained in 2023, and Sarge just took his mediums past Lap 21 to score points for those backing the Lap 21-30 choice.
The Strategist wasn't one of the 33% that got this right, instead opting for another Lap 11-20 pick.

Q3: Which Williams Racing driver will pit first?

Had players known that we'd split our strategy to start Logan on the mediums and Alex on the hards, perhaps more than 41% would've scored here.
There are still no points for The Strategist, who steadfastly continues backing Alex to be the first FW45 to pit each race.

Q4: How many pit stops will our drivers make between them?

Our duo made three tyre changes through the race, with Alex's tyre whispering ways letting him make the one-stop strategy work.
A third of you scored five points here, but The Strategist's thought that we'd have each driver on a two-stop strategy means another zero-scoring question for them.

Q5: How many Virtual Safety Car periods will there be?

Something about Mexico made a whopping 63% of players correctly predict a single VSC interruption.
The Strategist finally gets a correct answer, predicting the first VSC period in Mexico since 2019.

Q6: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?

The cars briefly ran behind the Safety Car before the red flags appeared following Kevin Magnussen's crash.
The Strategist foresaw a solitary Safety Car appearance, as did the 58% of players who also scored five points here.

Q7: Which tyre will Alex end his race on?

Alex took his medium rubber for 37 laps around Mexico City to make his P9 finish work, scoring 48% of you more points.
The Strategist incorrectly thought it'd be a medium-hard-medium strategy but did predict the final tyre compound right to score again.

Q8: Which tyre will Logan end his race on?

While Alex went for the one-stop strategy, Logan's third set of tyres had him end his race on the mediums after swapping during the red flag.
A similar amount of players thought Alex and Logan would finish with mediums, as 49% chose correctly here, including The Strategist.
The Strategist's Score: 4/8
Some heard a sigh of relief from The Strategist on Sunday after such a rocky start to this round.
It's a middle-of-the-road performance for their lofty standards, as 26% of players also scored 20 points.
Nonetheless, another 52% picked up 15 points or fewer, so The Strategist is taking their result as a small victory as they hit the 330-point mark.
They're now P30 in the standings and remain 45 points adrift of the top, with two players sharing the P1 slot.
Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf, will be back for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix this weekend to give you eight more opportunities to score more points.
