Get our Grove guru's predictions for Sunday's Saudi Arabian GP

After a rocky outing in Bahrain, The Strategist - our secretive Pit Wall Predictions Guru - is looking to bounce back on the lightning-fast streets of Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is known for its tight walls, high speeds, and a fair share of chaos – making it the perfect proving ground for those who dare to predict.
Will you trust their instincts, or is it time to back your own race-day wisdom?
Let’s see how our Grove guru is calling Round 5 of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.

Q1: What lap will the first yellow flag of the race be?

Lap 1. Expecting early drama in Jeddah – The Strategist is calling an incident shortly after lights out.

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

Lap 11-20. A longer opening stint this time, after an early stop here last year.

Q3: On which lap will Carlos make his first stop?

Lap 11-20. We didn’t see Carlos race in Saudi last season (s/o to all the appendix-less drivers out there), but The Strategist is banking on a similar window to Alex.

Q4: Which Williams driver will pit first?

Alex. Our guru is saying that Albono will be the first FW47 to stop in Jeddah.

Q5: What will the gap be to the car ahead when the first stop is made?

0.1–2.5 secs. Precision matters here. The Strategist is calling a tight fight in traffic.

Q6: How many Virtual Safety Car periods will there be?

Zero. We haven’t seen a VSC here since 2022 – and The Strategist doesn’t think that will change.

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

One. Jeddah always delivers one – The Strategist sees no reason to bet against history.

Q8: Where will the leading Williams driver finish the race?

P6-P10. It’s time to break the Jeddah points drought. That’s the call.
