McLaren set all-time record with fastest F1 pit stop in Qatar
Norris’ second pit stop on Lap 28, which was timed at 1.8 seconds, has been confirmed by DHL. This breaks the previous record of 1.82 seconds held by Max Verstappen and Red Bull from the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. However, it is important to note that Verstappen’s time was achieved using the smaller, 13-inch tires, whereas today’s pit stop was done with the heavier 18-inch ones. McLaren had an impressive weekend, winning the sprint race with Oscar Piastri and achieving a double podium in the main event. With five rounds remaining, McLaren is now just 11 points behind Aston Martin in the race for fourth place in the F1 2023 constructors’ championship.
