Everything around the 2024 São Paulo GP seemed unpredictable on Sunday, making our free-to-play game, Pit Wall Predictions presented by Gulf, particularly challenging.
With only one car in the race, we reduced the questions from eight to six, but did this help anyone secure a perfect score?
Check your results below, and read on to see how you compared with everyone else, including our Grove guru 'The Strategist'.

Q1: On which lap will Franco make his first stop?
Franco kept running on his first Intermediate tyre set until Lap 26 in the race, making him the third driver to switch tyres.
The Strategist thought he'd be pitting in the opening 10 laps, so they didn't score here, but 36.7% of players did.
Q2: When Franco first pits, what will the gap be to the car in front?
Charles Leclerc had pitted just one lap earlier than Franco, and emerged ahead of him on track equipped with fresh Pirellis to open a 3-second gap when FC43 boxed.
Half a second separated 44% of players from picking up points here, as they chose The Strategist's 0.1-2.5s selection.
Delight for the 41.2% of you, though, who correctly chose 2.6-5 seconds for Q2.
Q3: When the first Williams Racing driver pits, what position will they pit from?
Despite the conditions, Franco was three places higher than his P16 grid slot to be P13 at his first pit stop.
That meant he comfortably sat in the P11-P15 bracket, securing points for 50.8% of players, including The Strategist.

Q4: How many Safety Car periods will there be?
Most players predicted a Safety Car appearance on Sunday, with 87.6% expecting at least one intervention from Bernd Mayländer.
Over half of you had the same thinking as The Strategist, believing there'd be just one SC period, though, while only 23% took five points for choosing "two".
Q5: When will our fastest lap of the race be recorded?
The stop-start rain made setting any fast laps a challenge, and with Franco's race unfortunately ending early, he couldn't represent the 85.7% of players expecting his best to be after half-distance.
His Lap 21 effort of 1:24.296 means the 11.6% of players who selected Lap 19-36 score points, but not The Strategist.
Q6: Where will the leading Williams driver finish the race?
Our disappointing Sunday had us without either FW46 reaching the chequered flag.
No points for any players here, though 2/3 of you believed we'd leave Brazil with a top-10 finish.
The Strategist's Score: 1/6
It's not entirely surprising that The Strategist had such a low score when you consider how Sunday played out in São Paulo.
Nearly 33% of players joined them with a single correct answer this week, while 34.8% took 10 points away from Brazil with the most common score.
Nine players somehow navigated the wild weekend to take 25 points, however, so congratulations if you are one of them.
There are a breakaway two in the standings, with the leader sitting on 435 points, five ahead of P2, and then a 25 point-gap behind to the next players on 405.
The Strategist is P30 with 375 points as we prepare for the final three rounds of 2024.
