It is well known that the fastest pit stops are delivered at the Red Bull Racing garage. This was also the case during the third Italian race weekend this season. Red Bull Racing is destroying their rivals in the pit stop battle.
Red Bull fastest in Imola
In the first race in Italy, Red Bull scored a rare zero points in the DHL fastest pit stop championship. Last weekend the pit crew of the Austrian squad was back in its normal form. The fastest pitstop of the weekend was 1.93 seconds.
When changing the tyres of Alexander Albon's car, only two seconds were needed to get the job done. The second fastest pitstop of the day was also from the Red Bull team. The tyres of Verstappen were changed in 2.16 seconds.

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.
