There are just five races remaining in the 2024 Formula 1 season and things are really starting to heat up on Pit Wall Predicitions, presented by Gulf.
Two leaders are tied on 405 points, whilst a host of fans are within shooting range of that top spot.
Our secretive Grove guru, known only as 'The Strategist', is a little further back but that doesn't rule them out of the title hunt with 200 points still up for grabs.
Can they build on their 355-point tally at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez this weekend, or will they have a messy time in Mexico?
Continue reading to see The Strategist's suggestions for maximising your 2024 Mexico City GP picks.
Pit Wall Predictions, presented by Gulf
Don't forget to submit your answers before lights out!
Q1: On which lap will Alex make his first stop?
Lap 21-30. I think we'll see both our drivers run a fair distance into the race before making their first stop.
Q2: On which lap will Franco make his first stop?
Lap 31+. Franco went long in Austin last week, and I see no reason why he won't be able to again this weekend.
Q3: Which Williams Racing driver will pit first?
Alex. I've favoured Alex as the first stopper throughout the season, and it is usually the correct call. It was right in the USA, and I feel it will be true for Mexico, too.
Q4: How many stops will our drivers make between them?
4. The circuit isn't one for high degradation, but with the softest tyre trio and a risk of late Safety Cars, I'm rolling the dice with four stops.
Q5: How many Virtual Safety Car periods will there be?
None. The 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 editions of this race featured a VSC period, but I don't believe that we will see one in 2024.
Q6: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
One. Historically, the Safety Car has a 43% deployment rate in Mexico since it returned to the calendar, and I think we'll see it deployed in 2024.
Q7 & Q8: What tyres will Alex and Franco end their race on?
Hard. I think both Williams runners will have the white-walled Pirelli hard tyres fitted when their race comes to an end.
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!
