For the sixth Grand Prix in a row,
Red Bull Racing have managed to set the fastest pit stop. During the
Spanish Grand Prix, the Austrian racing team managed to change the four tyre of
Max Verstappen in 1.90 seconds. That time came close to the fastest pit stop ever made in
Formula 1.
That record is also held by Red Bull. The Milton Keynes-based team managed to set a time of 1.82 seconds during the
Brazilian Grand Prix last year. On the Barcelona circuit, the Red Bull mechanics were therefore only eight hundredths away.
Red Bull dominates
It is clear by now that the team of
Christian Horner and
Helmut Marko dominates in the pit lane. All four pit stops that Red Bull made in Spain were faster than the competition, an exceptional achievement.
