We're back in Europe after our brief trip over the Atlantic to Canada, and we're all set for Round 11 of the 2025 World Championship – and Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
The Red Bull Ring is famed for its high-speed undulations, quick laps, and the abundance of overtaking opportunities into the tight right-hand corners.
Our Grove guru, The Strategist, has made their picks for the weekend ahead of our return to Spielberg in the Styrian hills. Here's what they think we'll see in Austria.

You can change your answers right up until the formation lap on Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf
Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?
Lap 11–20. Alex's two-stop strategy kicked off on Lap 12 last year, and The Strategist believes we'll see more of the same in 2025.
Q2: On which lap will Carlos make his first stop?
Lap 31+. The tricky Qualifying session has The Strategist believing Carlos will run a contrary strategy in the race to climb up the order.
Q3: When will we record our fastest lap?
Lap 57-finish. Burning fuel will make the cars lighter, and The Strategist is of the mind that a late-race push will see our quickest tours of the Red Bull Ring.
Q4: What will Alex’s longest stint be?
31+ Laps. The short track length means we'll have 71 laps to contend, and a stint of around half race distance isn't out the question.
Q5: What will Carlos’ longest stint be?
31+ Laps. With The Strategist thinking Carlos won't pit before Lap 31, it's no surprise they think his longest Spielberg stint will be over 31 laps.
Q6: What tyre will Alex end his race on?
Mediums. It was a Medium-Hard-Hard for Albono last year, but The Strategist thinks our No23 will cross the line on the yellow-ringed Pirelli rubber this year.
Q7: What tyre will Carlos end his race on?
Mediums. Although The Strategist believes Alex and Carlos will run different tyre strategies, they believe both will end the race on the Medium compound.
Q8: Where will the leading car finish the race?
P11–P15. Austria isn't normally a high-scoring track for us, and The Strategist thinks we'll be close to the top-10 positions but miss out on points in 2025.
Eight more tricky questions for you and The Strategist. Do you think they've called it right or will you go your own way with your picks?
