From the long straights of Baku to the unrelenting heat of Marina Bay, the Formula 1 calendar now moves to one of its most demanding venues – the Singapore Grand Prix.
Both Alex and Carlos will start from the back, meaning Pit Wall Predictions players will need to think carefully about recovery drives, undercuts, and the ever-present potential for a Safety Car.
The Strategist has logged their calls ahead of what’s sure to be a gruelling 62 laps around the streets of Singapore. Let’s see what our secretive Grove-based guru is predicting this time around…
Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?
Lap 11–20. It’s a common window for an early undercut at Marina Bay, and The Strategist expects Alex to follow that trend again.
Q2: On which lap will Carlos make his first stop?
Lap 11–20. The same range for Carlos, who will likely mirror Alex’s opening stint from deeper in the pack.
Q3: Which Atlassian Williams Racing driver will pit first?
Alex Albon. The Thai driver made our first stop here last season, and The Strategist sees a repeat on the cards.
Q4: When the first Atlassian Williams Racing driver pits, what position will they pit from?
P11-P15. Starting at the back means there’s progress to be made, and The Strategist predicts Alex will climb towards the midfield before his first visit to the box.
Q5: How many pit stops will our drivers make between them?
Two. Traditionally, Singapore favours the one-stop, and The Strategist believes both drivers will aim for a simple, controlled strategy.
Q6: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
One. Last year was the first Singapore GP in history without a Safety Car, but The Strategist doesn’t expect lightning to strike twice.
Q7: At the end of the race, how close will the gap between Alex and the car ahead be?
0.1–2.5 seconds. Expect a tight finish as Alex battles late into the night.
Q8: At the end of the race, how close will the gap between Carlos and the car ahead be?
0.1–2.5 seconds. Carlos too is tipped for a close fight to the flag under the lights.
The night race is always unpredictable, and with both cars starting from the back, The Strategist knows this will be a test of patience, timing, and tyre life. Will you follow their lead or take a gamble of your own in this high-stakes round of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf?
