So that's that joker squandered.

My joker has also turned out to be a joke. Anyone guessing Verstappen as the Quali Victim would have been suspected of time travel however, so I don't think we made a bad call.

Congrats to Herb and TypingChicane for the shared win this weekend!
Mayhem remains leader!
Only one 'jokered' question was correct: that honor goes to Remmirath. Sadly no bonus points go with it.

Next time I really should put my joker on the safety car! I may not be the F1 Oracle just yet, but I do seem to be the Safety Car Oracle...

In my defense, Vandoorne really was the first man out. He just got a bit too eager and forgot to start the race at all...

Some of us (not me!) are getting the hang of this joker thingy business.

I'm surprised that everyone is still within 5 points of each other. Last year the gap between the first and last was 13 points after three races...

Just noticed I moved to the top, courtesy of the bonus points!

It was a bit of a punt - I thought that question was likely to be answered as '0' by most people.

After three races, this is how many times the 13 questions were answered correctly.
Obviously, there's a lot of zeroes at this stage.

Note that without jokers, Jenson's Understeer would be leader! Looks like, in true F1 style, the regulation change did its work.
