Very cool video TW. In the first pit stop, they change tires, re-fuel and clean the windshield, right? In the second pit stop do they do anything
other than change the tires? I couldn't tell what all they were doing. (I guess I blinked!)
Forget about the danger and think of the fun.

A "normal" F1 pit stop is tires only. 3 seconds or less, most times now. 3 guys on each wheel. That first video was from the Indi 500, only 4 guys
over the wall.

That was very interesting and fun to watch. Even my wife like it!!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
