I have a Grail in size S and had to adjust the saddle to 1.1, i.e. almost all the way down.
Everything actually fits quite well, I had slight neck pain after just under 50 km yesterday.
Does the position of the bike fit or should I adjust the angle or pull the saddle forward a little more?

Impossible to say from this angle. We need a picture from the exact side, ideally while the bike is in a trainer.
Hard to say based on this, but neck pain could be linked to saddle height and pelvic position. This guy on YouTube explains it pretty well I think:

If your saddle is bottomed out and your arms are that extended, I would say the bike is too big for you.
A profile pic of you in the bike would help a little more
Looks bit unnatural, but as others have already mentioned, it’s hard to judge from this angle.
This looks a bit unnatural. Your back is rounded off, your pelvis is bolt upright, and there’s a bunch of spacers at the head tube. You look reasonably fit. With the right bike fit you should be “low and long” with a straight back.
that said this type of pic doesn’t give a lot to go on. Bit, when ever you are bottomed out on the seat and have a chimney stack of spacers, something is up. It’s not how the bike was intended to be ridden.
