 That is way cool TW, the old 1 reminds me of my 1st soap box derby rig  Too bad the USA doesn't run as efficiently as that 2nd crew

 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.
