We start this challenge with the upcoming race at Zandvoort this weekend, and here is the question:

🏁 The Dutch Grand Prix proved to be a complicated race for Scuderia Ferrari. Carlos Sainz showed us once again that he is a fighter and despite the extremely difficult track conditions, he managed to secure fifth place. Unfortunately, Charles Leclerc had to retire the car with floor damage after the colision with Piastri.
The Zandvoort race concluded without any winners for our contest. The World Championship resumes in a couple of days, so let's gear up for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 3rd.
🔜 We'll post the next question on Friday. Stay tuned!

📣 Within the first four laps of the Qatar sprint race two safety cars were deployed, followed by a third one on lap 11. During the race on Sunday, the safety car was deployed shortly after the start. A total of 4 safety cars deployed on the Lusail track this weekend defied all predictions, resulting in no contest winners for the Qatar Grand Prix.
The challenge resumes with the United States Grand Prix which takes place over 56 laps of the Circuit of The Americas in Austin on Sunday, October 22.

📣 Both championships may have already been won but there is still plenty of action happening in Austin as we prepare for the race weekend.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were second and eighth fastest respectively in the only free practice session for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
For this race, we propose the following question:
What will be the tyre strategy for Scuderia Ferrari in the pitstops during the race on Sunday?
For example, 1st pitstop - hard tyres, 2nd pitstop - medium tyres, etc.
As always, you can post your best predictions after the qualifying session ends. ⬇️

📣 There was a shock following the outcome of the United States Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc was stripped of his P6 finish. A physical floor and a plank wear inspection revealed Leclerc’s skid blocks “to be not in compliance” with the rules.
The team split the strategies: a two-stop for Carlos and a one-stop for Charles.
Carlos Sainz entered the pit lane for the first time on lap 17 and changed to a new set of Mediums. Charles Leclerc changed to Hard tyres on lap 23. Carlos Sainz made another pit stop for Hards on lap 35.
The race in Austin leaves us with no winners for our contest and the attention turns to the next round, the Mexico City Grand Prix, taking place next weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. 🏁

📣 Scuderia Ferrari finished third and fourth in the Mexico City Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Charles Leclerc secured the 28th podium finish of his career, and Carlos Sainz is moving up to fourth place in the Drivers’ classification. The outcome of the race left us without any winners in our contest. Next Sunday we move to Brazil which hosts the Sao Paulo Grand Prix at the Interlagos circuit.

📣 This weekend Scuderia Ferrari is in Brazil for the São Paulo Grand Prix and the last Sprint race of the year. The Brazilian circuit is generally known as Interlagos and made a name for itself because of the atmosphere and the dramatic moments it produced. It's one of the best tracks of the season, where overtaking is possible and racing is very special here. It was once the home race of the three-time world champion, Ayrton Senna. Carlos Sainz got his first Formula 1 podium here, so it's a special circuit for him. As we prepare for racing, here's the question that you must answer:
Which Scuderia Ferrari driver will win the São Paulo Grand Prix?
a) Charles Leclerc
b) Carlos Sainz
*in the event the race is not won by a Ferrari driver, the question is voided.
As always, you have the opportunity to post your best predictions after the qualifying session ends, but pay close attention to how the drivers perform in the Sprint Shootout and Sprint race as well! 😉

📣 With Charles Leclerc starting from P2 we were hoping to see a battle for the win in the Brazilian Grand Prix, but unfortunately Charles had to retire the car because of a reliability problem which cut the engine and sent him into the barriers. Scuderia Ferrari leaves Brazil with a sixth place courtesy of Carlos Sainz.
The challenge resumes in the penultimate round of the season, the Las Vegas Grand Prix which takes place on November 18. 🔜

📣 There’s already a huge buzz building in the heart of Las Vegas as the race weekend has started and the second free practice session saw Charles Leclerc set the fastest time, ahead of Carlos Sainz. The drivers tackle an all-new street circuit with 6.2km and 17 turns winding through iconic locations like Caesars Palace, the Bellagio and the Venetian. The average speeds are expected to match Monza, otherwise known as the ‘Temple of Speed’, so the track promises plenty of action and overtaking. With one more practice session to go and qualifying scheduled for tomorrow, here's the question we propose:
What is the total number of points that Scuderia Ferrari drivers will score at the Las Vegas Grand Prix?

📣 The Las Vegas Grand Prix was meant to be spectacular and it did not disappoint. Charles Leclerc secured a very well deserved second place after a thrilling race with the RedBulls and Carlos Sainz crossed the finish line in sixth place. The Scuderia Ferrari drivers collected 26 points in Las Vegas, bringing the team just 4 points behind Mercedes in the Constructors’ championship. There is no winner in our competition for this race, but we have high hopes for the next race in Abu Dhabi on November 26. 🏁

📣 We are getting closer to the season finale at the 5.281-kilometre Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, and the Ferrari pace looks very, very encouraging. Charles Leclerc was able to extract a lot of performance out of the soft tyre during practice, however we didn’t get the chance to see what Carlos Sainz can deliver because his SF-23 ended up in the barriers. All eyes are on the battle for the final podium of the Constructors' Championship and as we dive into the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, here's the question you must answer:
By how many points will Scuderia Ferrari take 2nd place in the Constructors' standings from Mercedes after the race?
*in the event Ferrari doesn't beat Mercedes for 2nd place, the question is voided. But we are confident :)

📣 Scuderia Ferrari entered the final race of the season at the Yas Marina Circuit four points behind Mercedes and they were in the position to turn the table at some point during the race. Over the last few laps, Charles tried everything to try and secure Ferrari second place in the Constructors’ World Championship and he even let Sergio Perez in the Red Bull, who had a five second time penalty, pass him in the hope this would help the Mexican pull out a five second gap and thus finish between him and George Russell, but the move didn’t work, so that in the end, Leclerc was still second on the podium, alongside Verstappen and the aforementioned Russell, who had therefore done enough to prevent the Scuderia catching Mercedes in the Constructors’ standings. Carlos Sainz had a difficult day and the team decided to retire the car and he was classified 18th.
Second place in the Constructors’ championship was not to be, although the gap to Mercedes was a mere three points in the end. This outcome voids the question and leaves us with no winners for the last prediction challenge of the season.
The 2023 season is now over, but stay tuned as we have one more prize to give! 🏆️
