Let’s test the predictive power of pre-season testing in Formula 1.
This market resolves yes if one car from the team that had the fastest lap in pre-season testing wins the first race of the season a week later on the same track.
The car and driver pairing that wins the race doesn’t need to be the same as the fastest from testing; just needs to be the same team.
The last test session is on Feb 22nd and this market closes a day later on Feb 23rd. I will then resolve after the first race of the season ends.
Edit: fastest team in testing is Ferrari
