2. WHICH OF THESE DRIVERS WILL RECORD THE BEST RESULT?
YOUR PREDICTION: LANDO NORRIS
CORRECT ANSWER: PIERRE GASLY
The driver with the least votes on this poll won this particular battle. After an impressive Saturday, Pierre Gasly finished the Dutch Grand Prix in fourth place.

3. WILL WILLIAMS SCORE?
YOUR PREDICTION: NO
CORRECT ANSWER: NO
For the first time since the British Grand Prix, Williams failed to pick up a point. Both cars crashed in Q2, with George Russell starting eleventh and Nicholas Latifi starting from the pit lane. Russell retired with a handful of laps remaining, while Latifi came home in sixteenth.
4. HOW MANY DRIVERS WILL SCORE FROM THE BOTTOM 10 GRID SLOTS?
YOUR PREDICTION: 1 OR 2
CORRECT ANSWER: 1 or 2
Overtaking proved to be difficult at Zandvoort, but two drivers who started outside the top ten went on to score points. Those two drivers were Lando Norris – who finished tenth having started thirteenth – and Sergio Perez – who was voted Driver of the Day after driving from a pit lane start to an eighth place finish.
5. WILL IT RAIN?
YOUR PREDICTION: NO
CORRECT ANSWER: NO
Unlike one week ago at the Belgian Grand Prix and despite earlier weather forecasts suggesting rain for Sunday afternoon, it stayed dry for the Dutch Grand Prix weekend.
