From the winding dunes of Zandvoort to the flat-out straights of Monza, Round 16 of Pit Wall Predictions takes us to the Temple of Speed.
With both Carlos and Alex starting side-by-side in the midfield – P13 and P14 respectively – every call could make the difference.
The Strategist, our secretive Grove guru, has weighed up last year’s tyre data, the probability of Safety Cars, and the lessons from recent rounds to lock in their latest selections.

Hard. Carlos is also predicted to cross the line on the Hard compound.
