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!):lol:



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.
