P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Stake F1’s recurring problems could be about to end.
Valtteri Bottas is optimistic that Stake can fix its problematic wheel-nut issues before the Chinese Grand Prix. The team has struggled with slow pit-stops due to cross-threaded wheel-nuts in the first four races of the season. Returning to the 2023 equipment is not a simple solution due to the pullrod front suspension on the current car. Despite a 52.4s stop in Bahrain, Bottas is encouraged by the team’s efforts to address the issue. Progress has been made with modifications to procedures and materials, but a complete fix is still in progress. The team is working to ensure a smoother performance in the upcoming race in Shanghai.
