McLaren-Honda - The Art Of The Formula 1 Pit Stop (VIDEO)

A Formula 1 pit stop is one of the most strategically important elements of any race weekend, be it in qualifying or the race. It takes a perfectly choreographed team of well-oiled, sharp individuals to execute one perfectly, and with the current benchmark standing at around 2.00 seconds flat, it’s no mean feat. Here we break down McLaren-Honda’s pitstop team: who it’s comprised of, their individual roles, and how they possibly manage to do it so well, time in, time out, under the glare of the world’s camera flashbulbs.
