PWP: The Strategist shares their Singapore selections

Sitting 40 points off of P1 with seven rounds to go, our top-secret guru - ‘The Strategist’ - is hoping to make a late title charge.

The Singapore Grand Prix with its high temperatures, high degradation and high chance of a Safety Car is a notoriously tough race to call, but that’s exactly what we’re asking you to do.

Currently boasting 325 points to their name, will you follow their tips and insights below, or choose your own path?

As long as there are no early incidents to draw out the Safety Car, I fancy Alex to come in between Lap 11-20 for his first stop.

Similarly to the reasons given above, I think Franco will also pit for the first time between Lap 11-20.

As part of our split strategy last time out, Franco was our first driver to stop. I fancy that to be the same case this weekend.

Starting just outside the top 10, there’s every chance our duo will make moves in the opening stages or are elevated by going longer on their opening stint.

I'm going to say that we’ll be making our first stop from P6-P10.

A lot can happen in Singapore, and more often than not, it does. However, I’m going to say our pit crew are only called into action on two occasions.

As previously mentioned, this circuit has seen at least one Safety Car period every time we have raced here. I’m backing that it will happen again in 2024, but just once.

This race often pushes the two-hour cut-off right to the max. Whether we get all 62 laps in or the timer runs out, I fancy Alex to be within 0.1-2.5s at the chequered flag.

This is going to be the most physical race of Franco’s F1 career to date. However, I also fancy him to be within 0.1s-2.5s of the car ahead at the end of the race.

You’ve heard from The Strategist, now it’s time to make your decisions below. You have until the lights go out on Sunday to make any changes, good luck!
