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 qualifies on pole in the first qualifying of the season.
The car and driver pairing that qualifies on pole 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 qualifying of the season ends.
Edit: fastest team in testing is Ferrari
