Couple of points
1/ You technical director will be wrong
2/ Intermediates/Wets depend on your preset wet weather strategy, or what you choose during the race
3/ If you have 96 races experience, you would be better loading last seasons strategy [and working from that] than listening to any new strategy a technical director will give you [as your previous results give you EXACT details of fuel/tyre wear and how you compared against other strategys,]
The Below is regarding JAPAN
i.e In PRO you ran a 3 stop [and finished the race], the next season in Elite you pitted 1 lap before the end [if you had loaded the pro setup you would have finished the race] and this season you ran the same strategy, but with less fuel again,
although if you look at the results from your league a 4stop is faster than a 3 stop anyway

If you look at the above link, it will show you how much fuel you used [starting fuel[-]fuel left when you pitted[/]number of laps, will give you the average fuel per lap
Then assuming you want to 3stop[4 stints]
14/13/13/13 or something similar works out roughly at 56/52/52/52 litres
compare that to what you run in pro

and there prob quite similar, and compare that to what you run yesterday you they will be miles different, partly because your technical director is wrong, and more-so because you didnt analyse previous strategy's/results
Although you would knock a minute+ from your time by running a different strategy
e.g. 4 stop is 11/11/11/10/10, first 3 stints at 11*[average fuel per lap] next 2 stints at 10*[average fuel per lap] and prob chuck an extra litre or so on top just to make sure, then adjust your strategy the season after if you carried too much extra fuel, or if tyres got to a low % add another pit stop in.. Or run shorter stints on softs and longer stints on hard, entirely upto you
