Change Formula Record For Free

To become a Formula One pit crew member, you'll need to have a solid foundation of automotive knowledge and will need to complete a pit crew training course. Getting involved in local racing and getting the right experience to supplement your education is crucial.

This new record occurred during the German Grand Prix this last weekend with Max Vertappen's Formula One car. The Youtube video itself is just seven seconds long but the actual tyre changing job takes just 1.88 seconds.

In F1, every tenth counts, so when drivers pit, the pressure is on for their crew to get them back out on track as quickly as possible. Currently, just the four tyres require changing during a pit stop.

The average in the sport is closer to three seconds. "It's so fast that you do not even have time to see the guys change the wheels," said Gasly.

In a Formula 1 pit lane, all four tyres are changes in less than 3 seconds. Anything longer than 2.5 seconds is considered a long stop, but a stop under 2 seconds can buy you a couple of places on track.

Their new time, set on lap 21 of 71, clocked in at 1.82 seconds, when race winner Max Verstappen came in to swap his red-striped soft-compound tires for a fresh set of rubber.

The official world record belongs to Aston Martin's Red Bull's F1 team with 1.82 seconds during the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. The pit crew changed all of the four tyres of Max Verstappen car in 1.82 magical seconds. He went on finish first in that Grand Prix.

In less than the time it takes to read this, Jenson Button's pit crew set a new world record for the fastest-ever pit stop in Formula 1 history: 2.31s during the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.

In a Formula 1 pit lane, all four tyres are changes in less than 3 seconds. Anything longer than 2.5 seconds is considered a long stop, but a stop under 2 seconds can buy you a couple of places on track.

Red Bull Formula 1 chief Christian Horner has revealed the human error that caused Max Verstappen's slow pitstop at Monza resulted from the FIA's clampdown introduced at Spa. The FIA informed teams at the end of June that it would be moving to slow down pitstops on safety grounds, removing some elements of automation.
