Q1 & Q2: On which lap will Alex and Franco make their first stop?
Lap 11-20. With the data gathered from the 19-lap Sprint yesterday, I reckon we’ll start to see a lot of drivers make their first stop in this window, Alex and Franco included
Q3: Which Williams Racing driver will pit first?
Alex. The past few races have seen us split our strategy between the drivers, so I reckon our pit crew will see Albono first.
Q4: When the first Williams Racing driver pits, what position will they pit from?
P11-P15. I think we’ll have shuffled up the order by the time we make our first stop tonight, placing us in the third option bracket. Worth remembering that Albono pitted from the lead here last year.
Q5: How many pit stops will our drivers make between them?
4. I reckon we’ll see two stops all around tonight, so expect Alex and Franco in twice.
Q6: How many full Safety Car periods will there be?
0. The weekend has been fairly uneventful so far, and the large run-offs at this venue allow drivers to escape danger trouble-free.
Q7: Which driver will set our fastest lap of the race?
Alex Albon. I’m hoping Albono will see the chequered flag for the first time since Austin, setting our fastest lap in the process.
Q8: Where will the highest placing Williams driver finish the race?
P11-P15. Of course, I’d love to see Alex and Franco sneak into those points-paying positions, but they have a big task from their grid spots. I’m playing the game, but I will be happy to be proved wrong!
