Prediction Accuracy
Mean absolute error (MAE) is the average gap, in finishing positions, between a predicted finish and the real one. Lower is better. Each point is one completed race; the pre-qualifying line uses the prediction made before the grid was set, the post-qualifying line the one made after.
