The Dutch GP didn't just mark the return of on-track action for Alex and Logan but also another round of our free-to-play game, Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
There were 72 laps around Zandvoort Circuit on Sunday, and we posed eight questions to see how you thought they would unfold.
Did you need to shake off any rust from the summer slowdown, or did you take a high score and beat The Strategist?
We delve into all the results below.

See how you fared against other fans in the latest round of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
Q1: On which lap will Alex make their first stop?
Alex was the first runner to make a pit stop in this race when he undercut everyone, reaching P11 with his early-race pace advantage.
The Lap 12 stop nestled him into the Lap 11-20 range, something that The Strategist and 35.6% of players predicted.
Q2: On which lap will Logan make their first stop?
We split our strategies in Zandvoort, putting Alex on a two-stopper while Logan went for a one-stopper.
Sarge pitted ten laps later than Albono on Lap 22, meaning Lap 21-30 was the correct answer.
This caught out more players, including the Strategist, with 31.9% getting points here.
Q3: Which Williams Racing driver will pit first?
Alex's bold strategy meant he was the first to box in this 50-50 question, but it wasn't a 50-50 split in answers.
The Netherlands' highest-scoring question had 61.4% correctly backing Alex, but The Strategist wasn't one of them.
Fan Appreciation
Together, we are on a journey. We want to honour the fans that are following us every step of the way.
Q4: When the first Williams Racing driver pits, what position will they pit from?
With damage to Logan's car and Alex's disqualification, both FW46 cars started in the back rows of the grid.
Although each made up positions, Alex was just in the P16-P20 bracket when he boxed, scoring 25.7% of players more points, but not The Strategist.
Q5 & Q6: When Alex/Loga makes his first stop, what will the gap between him and the car ahead be?
The tight midfield of 2024 continued to contract after the summer break, with Alex and Logan well amongst the action when they pitted.
0.1-2.5s was the correct call for both, something The Strategist called for Albono but not Sarge.
Perhaps some players followed their advice, as 50.6% scored for predicting Alex's gap, while only 36.9% did for Logan.
Q7 & Q8: How many Virtual Safety Car/full Safety Car periods will there be?
A well-behaved race meant we didn't have any slowdowns of any kind, and all 20 cars finished this year's Dutch GP.
Another five points for The Strategist, who knew there wouldn't be a VSC, though they expected one Safety Car appearance.
For everyone else, there were 49.3% getting the VSC question right, but just 20% – the lowest-scoring answer this week – predicting zero Safety Car periods.
The Strategist's Score: 3/8 – Not the best way to jump back into action for The Strategist, who needs high-scoring rounds if they want to be in the fight for first.
Points were at a premium in the Netherlands, though, and they're with the majority of players (60.9%) to score 15 points or fewer.
At the other end of the results table, one player alone reached Pit Wall Perfection in the 2024 Dutch GP, and another 14 were just one question away.
That result slightly elongates the leaderboard, which now has 15 players in the top five places as we head to Monza while The Strategist shares P8 with 275 points.
