The race finished differently: Verstappen won, Sergio Perez was second, Sainz third, and Piastri eighth.
What the supercomputer predicted
GrandPrix247 reported the forecast on 9 March 2024, ahead of the race on 7 April. Its reported top three were:
- Oscar Piastri
- Max Verstappen
- Carlos Sainz
The report said the model predicted every driver’s finishing position, but its accessible text does not show the complete Japanese Grand Prix order. Perez’s predicted position is not stated there, so a full-grid forecast cannot be reconstructed from that report. GrandPrix247’s 9 March 2024 report

|---|---|---|
| Oscar Piastri | 1st | 8th |
| Max Verstappen | 2nd | 1st |
| Carlos Sainz | 3rd | 3rd |
| Sergio Perez | Not stated in the accessible forecast text | 2nd |
By the podium, the prediction correctly placed Sainz third, but it missed the winner and the other two podium positions. The official classification records Verstappen’s winning time as 1:54:23.566; Perez finished 12.535 seconds behind, Sainz 20.866 seconds behind, and Piastri 47.525 seconds behind.

What was behind the model’s prediction
GrandPrix247 attributed the model description to BonusCodeBets: it reportedly used real-time data, betting patterns and sentiment analysis, and ran 1,000 simulations per race before producing finishing-position predictions. That is the report’s description, not independently documented or validated model methodology. The simulation count should therefore be understood as a claim about the model, not proof of predictive accuracy.

This is a retrospective comparison of one reported forecast with one completed race, not evidence that the model was generally accurate or inaccurate across a season. The outcome demonstrates the specific gaps: Piastri was forecast as the winner but finished eighth, Verstappen was forecast second but won, and Sainz matched his predicted third place. The report’s claimed use of betting patterns also does not make the prediction betting advice or establish that following it would be reliable.
