Predict the race. Beat your friends. Free, forever. GridPlay turns every race weekend into a game. Call the qualifying top three, pick the podium, and name the driver who finishes in the mystery position. Points land when the flag drops. Free to play, and every feature is in — no subscription, no premium tier. HOW IT WORKS — TWO PARTS, ONE WEEKEND Part 1: Qualifying picks. Locked in an hour before first practice, so nobody gets to peek at the timing screens. Call the qualifying top three, say whether a full safety car comes out, and on sprint weekends, name the sprint winner. Part 2: Race picks. Opens the moment qualifying results land. The grid is set — now call the podium, and name the driver who finishes exactly in the mystery position, a slot between P4 and P10 revealed when the window opens. Exact or nothing. SCORING • Pole position — 10 pts • Qualifying P2 / P3 — 8 pts each • Race winner — 10 pts • Race P2 / P3 — 8 pts each • Right driver, wrong step of the podium — 4 pts • Full safety car — 5 pts • Sprint winner — 10 pts • Mystery position — 15 pts, exact or nothing • Perfect prediction bonus — 25 pts 97 points is a flawless weekend. 107 on a sprint weekend. PRIVATE LEAGUES Create a league, share the six-character invite code, settle it over 24 rounds. Office pools, group chats, family rivalries. Unlimited leagues, and you can rename one, remove a member, or reissue the code whenever you like. GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Every player, one table. Fly your country's flag, watch your rank move after each round, and see exactly how many points separate you from the leader. AI RACE INSIGHTS Before you pick, see what the model thinks: • Predicted pole and podium, each with a confidence rating and written analysis • Tire strategy stint by stint, compounds mapped out • Weather for every session — condition, temperature, chance of rain • An overtaking score, and the corners where passes actually happen • Circuit data — length, corners, DRS zones, lap records • Past winners and track records at that venue WHAT EVERYONE ELSE PICKED Once enough predictions are in, see the crowd's consensus podium and what share of players are calling a safety car. Aggregates only — individual picks are never shown. WIDGETS FOR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Six of them, all free: • Race Weekend — every session in your local time • Prediction Deadline — a live countdown, and whether your picks are in • Last Race — the podium, and what you scored • Championship — drivers' or constructors' standings • Your Season — points, global rank, prediction streak • League Position — your place in a private league, and who you're chasing SPOILER PROTECTION Watching on catch-up?
