Red Bull destroys competition
A quick pit stop wins valuable seconds and that's what they seem to have in mind at Red Bull Racing. The ten fastest pit stops of this season are all but one from Red Bull. The fastest is 1.86 seconds. The team managed to operate under 1.9 seconds three times. Williams takes the ninth place in the top ten with 2 seconds.
In the championship Red Bull Racing currently stands at 416 points. That puts them 216 points ahead of the number two, Williams. Mercedes follows quickly on P3, but Red Bull Racing is unbeatable. Haas is the worst of all teams and did not score any points in this championship.
