With a time of 1.90 seconds Red Bull came close to its own world record set last year at the
Brazilian Grand Prix. Only eight hundredths of a second was this pit crew away from a new fastest time ever.
In the end Mercedes was able to collect more points for the battle for the classification in the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award. The world champion took 28 points and since
Max Verstappen didn't make a pitstop because of his quick outing, Red Bull got stuck on 25 points.
However, this did not have any consequences for the ranking. The Milton Keynes based team of
Christian Horner and
Helmut Marko has been assured of first place for weeks now. The difference with Mercedes is more than 200 points.
