See how you fared against other fans in the latest round of Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf.
Q1 & Q2: When will Alex and Carlos make their first stops?
Both drivers dived into the pit lane in the Lap 11-20 window – just as they did in 2024 – and The Strategist nailed it. So did the vast majority of the community, with 75% and 72% of players respectively landing the correct answers.
A solid start all around.
Q3: Which Williams driver will set the fastest lap?
Carlos took this one with a rapid Lap 16 tour. Only 42% of fans saw it coming – and sadly, not The Strategist, who had backed Alex’s hot form to continue.
Q4: How many pit stops will Alex and Carlos make in total?
Five stops between the pair, with Carlos making three. Just 5% of the community predicted a busier day on the pit wall – and The Strategist’s expectation of a tidy four didn’t pay off.

Q5: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
One. A well-timed appearance threw strategy into a spin – and 47% of players saw it coming. The Strategist, however, was caught out, having forecast a clean race.
Q6 & Q7: What tyre will Alex and Carlos end the race on?
Neither driver ended on the Hard compound. Instead, Alex finished on the Medium, while Carlos ended on Softs – a curveball that only 36% and 10% of players respectively predicted. The Strategist was wide of the mark on both.
Q8: Where will the leading Williams driver finish?
P12 for Alex meant the correct bracket was P11-P15, a rare miss for players – with just 5% calling it right. The Strategist had gone for another top-10 result, so this one slipped away too.
The Strategist’s Score: 2/8 – 10 Points
After a promising start, it all unravelled for our Grove-based predictor in the second half of the round. Still, with plenty of races to come, there's time to rebound and build upon their 50 point total.
Seven players top scored with 7/8 (35 points) this round – and one player now leads the 2025 season with 100 points after four rounds. Strong consistency at the top!
