McLaren set new F1 world record with 1.80s Qatar pit stop
McLaren had an impressive performance at the Lusail International Circuit, not only achieving a double podium finish but also recording the fastest pit stop of all time with a time of 1.80 seconds for Lando Norris on Lap 27. This surpassed the previous record set by Red Bull in 2019 by a margin of 0.002 seconds. It is worth noting that this achievement occurred in the era of 18-inch tires, introduced last year. Ferrari also had a quick pit stop, leaving Charles Leclerc stationary for only 1.93 seconds, making it the second-fastest pit stop of the 2023 season. Despite these record-breaking performances, Red Bull still leads the DHL overall pit stop standings, with four of the fastest 10 pit stops this year.
