For the most recent round the model picked Liam LAWSON.60%

Lawson consistently demonstrates better race pace; I am correcting for the systematic bias of under-rating his finishing position.

A round is only scored when both drivers appear in the predicted order and both are classified in the result — a retirement is nobody's call. Published predictions are never edited afterwards.
