Just last weekend in Austria, things went wrong with Verstappen's pit stop. Partly because it took longer than usual,
Lando Norris was able to get within a second behind the Dutchman so as to have DRS. The two then crashed together on the Red Bull Ring.
Sergio Perez's pit stop was also excellent. Red Bull's pit crew needed exactly two seconds, ony one hundredth more than during Verstappen's stip. Alpine came closest with
Esteban Ocon's 2.18-second pit stop.
In the DHL Fastest Pistop Award standings,
Red Bull Racing are miles ahead of nearest rival
Ferrari anyway. The Italian racing stable is more than 100 points behind.
