Red Bull fast again at Zandvoort with pitstops
- GPblog.com
Pit stops are not as quick as they were before the summer break due to changes in the regulations, but Red Bull Racing's pit crew are still lightning fast. At the Dutch Grand Prix, Max Verstappen's four tyres were changed in just over two seconds.
The Austrian formation needed just 2.15 seconds to provide Verstappen with fresh rubber. The 2021 record stands at 1.88 seconds, but that will remain the case for the rest of the year as the FIA has made all pit stops slower to ensure safety.
