Red Bull Racing has once again shown in Russia that the team is one of the best at making a pit stop. Max Verstappen's pit stop lasted only 1.86 seconds. See here how fast that actually was.
Red Bull is the best
For years Red Bull has been known for its fast pit stop. Since it gained more value in 2010 because the refuelling disappeared from Formula 1, teams have focused much more on this. With the refuelling, teams had all the time they needed to change the tyres, where now every second and even every tenth can help.
On the track, it's never so easy to save a second of time as Red Bull regularly does in the pit lane. Where most teams don't get under two seconds, this isn't the first time Red Bull has succeeded. The team strings the records together and gives the drivers a head start when they get back on the track.
