It might be race day in Las Vegas, but it's not too late to lock in your Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
To help you make you make those last minute calls, The Strategist has shared their picks - will you follow their lead or go your own way?
Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?
Lap 11-20. With it being a 50-lap race, I feel that it will be in this window that drivers will make their first stops and if we have some clean opening exchanges, I expect Alex to pull in during this window.
Q2: On which lap will Franco make his first stop?
Lap 11-20. I fancy that we'll see Franco in around the same time as his teammate.
Q3: Which Williams Racing driver will pit first?
Franco. I think we'll see our young Argentine in first.
Q4: How many stops will our drivers make between them?
Two. One stop was the quickest way around here last year, and that's expected to be the case again in 2024.
Q5: How many Virtual Safety Car periods will there be?
Zero. I feel that any incident here will be likely to warrant a full Safety Car deployment, so I’m calling no VSC periods.
Q6: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
One. I think we’ll see Bernd Mayländer make at least one appearance.
Q7: What tyres will Alex end his race on?
Hard. I feel Albono’s race will end on the white-walled Pirelli rubber.
Q8: What tyres will Franco end his race on?
Hard. I think both our drivers will end the race on the most durable tyres.
You’ve heard from The Strategist, now it’s time to make your decisions below. You have until the lights go out to make any changes – good luck!
