Red Bull set the fastest time in the pit lane with
Sergio Perez's tyre change during the race of the Grand Prix weekend in Italy. Red Bull were the fastest this weekend, but
Ferrari were not far behind the championship leaders.
In second and third place of the fastest pit stops are the tyre changes of
Charles Leclerc and
Carlos Sainz. With Leclerc,
Ferrari fell a tenth short of Red Bull's speed. One-tenth is just a blink of an eye, but when it comes to pit times, the difference is easily more than five per cent. Red Bull changed the Mexican's tyres in 2.1 seconds. Ferrari changed Leclerc's in 2.21 seconds and Sainz's in 2.39 seconds.
No record for Red Bull
Red Bull was one hundredth slower this weekend than it was last week in Zandvoort at
Max Verstappen's tyre change. There the team set the record time of the season with a change of 2.09 seconds. This weekend, Verstappen's tyre change was good for the fourth time of the race with a 2.48. The usually pit-strong
Williams and
McLaren are only lower down in the top ten.
Williams changed
Nicholas Latifi 's tyres in 2.82 seconds, which puts them on P8.
McLaren is on P10 with a tyre change of 3.04 seconds for
Lando Norris.
