YOUR PREDICTION: NO
CORRECT ANSWER: YES
It was a close result in our poll, but Max Verstappen finally had his first clean weekend of the season in Canada. The Dutchman encountered mechanical damage on his front wing during Friday Practice, but that was the only drama of his trip to Montreal. He qualified third and maintained his position in the race.
2. How many drivers will crash at the Wall of Champions?
2. How many drivers will collide with the Wall of Champions over the weekend? #LightsOutPredictions #CanadianGP #F1
— Lights Out ●●●●● (@LightsOutF1Blog) June 7, 2018
YOUR PREDICTION: TWO
CORRECT ANSWER: ONE
42% of you predicted two drivers would clatter into the infamous Wall of Champions over the weekend. There was only one collision with the wall though, and that was by Canadian Lance Stroll, who made a mess of the final turn in Free Practice 1.
3. Will Lewis Hamilton be on pole?
3. Will Lewis Hamilton take a record-breaking seventh pole position in Canada on Saturday? #LightsOutPredictions #CanadianGP #F1
— Lights Out ●●●●● (@LightsOutF1Blog) June 7, 2018
YOUR PREDICTION: YES
CORRECT ANSWER: NO
59% of you thought Lewis Hamilton would take a fourth consecutive pole and beat Michael Schumacher’s record of six poles at the track. Instead, it was Sebastian Vettel who took his fourth pole at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve while Hamilton could only manage fourth on the grid. It was the first time Hamilton hasn’t started from the front row at this track since 2011.
4. Will Romain Grosjean score a point?

— Lights Out ●●●●● (@LightsOutF1Blog) June 7, 2018
YOUR PREDICTION: NO
CORRECT ANSWER: NO
63% of you correctly predicted that Romain Grosjean would still be point-less as he left Montreal. After hitting a groundhog on Friday, the Frenchman suffered an engine failure in Qualifying and was forced to start from the back of the grid. He made up seven places to finish in twelfth, but outside of the points.
5. Where will Lance Stroll finish?
5. Where will Lance Stroll finish in his home Grand Prix? #LightsOutPredictions #CanadianGP #F1
— Lights Out ●●●●● (@LightsOutF1Blog) June 7, 2018
YOUR PREDICTION: 11th to 15th
CORRECT ANSWER: 16th to 20th or DNF
After scoring the first points of his F1 career here last year, Lance Stroll had a weekend to forget at his home event this season. He collided with Brendon Hartley on the first lap and failed to finish a race for the first time in 2018.
