PWP: The Strategist motivated to fight back in Miami

It’s been a tricky few races for ‘The Strategist’ with an uncharacteristically quiet Azerbaijan Grand Prix catching our top-secret guru - along with plenty of other players - off guard in Round 4.

Nevertheless, in a game like Pit Wall Predictions - presented by Gulf - it only takes one or two rounds for it all to change, so The Strategist will be hoping to fight back this weekend in Miami.

After Baku, The Strategist sits 81st in our global rankings with 75 out of a possible 160 points in the bank - will you listen to their tips or follow your own path? The choice is yours…

Read on for The Strategist’s tips and insights for the Miami Grand Prix.

The very first stop of the 2022 Miami GP was made on lap 11, leading me to believe that unless an early Safety Car is brought out, Alex will likely pit in this window. Lap 11-20.

The majority of the field started the 2022 Miami Grand Prix on the medium compound, utilising a one-stop strategy by switching to the hard tyres. With this in mind, it’s a safe choice to predict Logan will also pit in this window. Lap 11-20.

Alex has pitted first at three of the four opening races, leading me to believe he will follow the same trend in Miami.

I’ll go with P11-15. Given our recent pace, it’s fair to say we will be somewhere around these positions from the start of the race. As others make their stops, our duo may rise a few places as we look to push for those all-important points.

0.1-2.5 secs. Alex was within 2.5 seconds of Piastri when he pitted in Baku, and I expect him to be pushing hard to be within that gap again.

The gaps may begin to open for our American if other cars begin to pit before him, subsequently I have predicted the gap will be slightly larger for Logan. 2.6-5.0 secs.

Despite there being a VSC in 2022, I think if there will be any contact with other cars or the walls on yet another street circuit, it will more than likely result in the deployment of the full Safety Car. I’ll go for zero.

There was one SC in 2022, and I think this will be similar in 2022. The tight corners and walls in areas of this track may cause mayhem, so I think it’s fair to predict we’ll see at least one deployment. One.
