YOUR PREDICTION: YES
CORRECT ANSWER: YES
Red Bull failed to win the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in 2022, but they continued their domination of the 2023 season with their 17th victory of the year at the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix. This was Red Bull’s first win at Interlagos since 2019.

YOUR PREDICTION: HAMILTON
CORRECT ANSWER: PEREZ
Just 12% of voters backed Sergio Perez to score more points than Lewis Hamilton at the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Mercedes had a weekend to forget, with Hamilton picking up just six points from the Sprint and the Grand Prix. Perez strengthened his hold on second place in the Drivers’ Championship by scoring 18 points in total.

YOUR PREDICTION: NO
CORRECT ANSWER: YES
Before the identity of the 2023 Sao Paulo Grand Prix polesitter was known, only 48% backed them to win the race. That’s a number which perhaps would have grown had it been known that Max Verstappen would be the man starting from the front of the grid.

CORRECT ANSWER: ALPHATAURI
AlphaTauri outscored the two teams behind them in the Constructors’ Championship to remain eighth in the standings after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. They even closed the gap to Williams ahead to just seven points.

5. Where will the best-placed Aston Martin driver finish in the 2023 #BrazilGP?#LightsOutF1Predictions #F1
— Lights Out ●●●●● (@LightsOutF1Blog) November 3, 2023
YOUR PREDICTION: 8th or 9th
CORRECT ANSWER: IN THE TOP 5
After a run of lacklustre results, just 8% of voters backed an Aston Martin driver to finish in the top five. As it turned out, both Fernando Alonso – who secured a podium finish by just 0.053 seconds – and Lance Stroll – who finished fifth – finished in the top five. It was the teams first double top five result since the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.
