McLaren is in shape and not just the single-seater, nor the drivers. The mechanics are also stronger than ever. They beat the Formula 1 pit stop world record by 0.02 seconds, previously held by Red Bull since 2019. 1.80 seconds to lift the single-seater, change the 4 tires, lower the single-seater and go.<\/b><\/p>\n
The best pit stop times by team in 2023 up to Qatar<\/b><\/p>\n The record for the fastest F1 pit stop was set by Red Bull Racing in 2019 with Max Verstappen at the Brazilian Grand Prix. The Dutch driver had only had to stop for 1.82 seconds before setting off again with 4 new tires. Since then, no team had improved on this time.<\/p>\n In the mid-season 2021 (Belgian GP 2021), following too many issues arising from poorly attached wheels on the F1 cars, the FIA decided to impose a minimum time limit on certain technical and human actions.<\/p>\n Thus, when the pneumatic guns estimate that the wheels are tightened, the minimum time before the light turns green to release the driver is now 0.2 seconds, whereas it was sometimes instantaneous before. Likewise.<\/p>\n This change had had an impact on time. Some actions being done manually again, teams were no longer able to go below the 2 seconds stop. As the teams made progress, McLaren had already stood out in 2022. It had already been the fastest team in the pits, with the best stop of the season made in 1.98 seconds thanks to Daniel Ricciardo in Mexico.<\/p>\n On Sunday, @McLarenF1<\/a> produced the fastest pit stop of ALL TIME! \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n A ridiculous 1.80s stop for @LandoNorris<\/a> earns them the @DHL_Motorsports<\/a> Fastest Pit Stop in Qatar! <\/p>\n 2023 leaderboard \ud83d\udc49https:\/\/t.co\/F2dWiQGk6K<\/a>#QatarGP<\/a> #F1<\/a> #MomentsThatDeliver<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/AUKUv8VjIs<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Formula 1 (@F1) October 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
