Make your calls for Round 15 of Pit Wall Predictions presented by Gulf

From the seaside dunes of Zandvoort comes the next challenge for Pit Wall Predictions players. The Dutch GP is notorious for tight margins and the ever-present chance of a sudden Safety Car. With Carlos starting inside the top ten in P9 and Alex lining up P15, Sunday’s race promises plenty of intrigue for Atlassian Williams Racing.
Our secretive Grove guru, known only as The Strategist, has been studying the data and past race trends to lock in their calls for Round 15. Will you follow their lead or take a gamble on your own predictions?

Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?

Lap 11–20. Alex stopped on Lap 12 last year, and The Strategist expects a similar early stop from the midfield.

Q2: On which lap will Carlos make his first stop?

Lap 11–20. Carlos went long in 2024, but The Strategist anticipates him pitting earlier this time around.

Q3: Which Atlassian Williams Racing driver will pit first?

Alex. He led the way into the pit lane last season, and The Strategist is backing him to do so again, potentially looking to make an undercut.

Q4: When the first Williams driver pits, what position will they pit from?

P11–P15. With Alex starting P15, The Strategist sees our first stop being made from just outside the top 10.

Q5: When Alex makes his first stop, what will the gap between him and the car ahead be?

0.1–2.5 seconds. Zandvoort is notoriously hard to overtake on, meaning close gaps are the norm.

Q6: When Carlos makes his first stop, what will the gap between him and the car ahead be?

0.1–2.5 seconds. With Carlos starting higher up the grid, The Strategist expects him to remain closely matched with the cars around him when he boxes.

Q7: How many Virtual Safety Car periods will there be?

Zero. There was no VSC last year, and The Strategist is expecting a repeat.

Q8: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?

One. While 2024 passed without interruption, Zandvoort has a history of Safety Car deployments, and The Strategist is counting on at least one appearance.
