Red Bull Racing’s pit crew has achieved a remarkable feat, completing a successful pit stop in less than three seconds
Red Bull Racing, based in Milton Keynes, is known for its exceptional pit-stop abilities and has won the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award for six consecutive years. Recently, the team decided to push their skills to the limit by performing a pit stop with no visibility. After practicing blindfolded, the crew took on the challenge of performing a pit stop in a blacked-out room with blacked-out visors. They successfully completed the stop in an impressive 2.84 seconds after 10 attempts. This unique challenge showcased the team’s exceptional communication, ability, and cohesive spirit. Although it is not something they would want to do in an actual race, it demonstrated their well-coordinated skills and why they have won multiple DHL Fastest Pit Stop Awards. Formula 1 teams regularly practice pit stops to ensure quick and precise actions, with McLaren achieving the fastest stop of 1.80 seconds in 2023. Red Bull’s fastest stop of the year came in at 1.98 seconds during the Hungarian Grand Prix. To achieve the 2.84 seconds stop in the darkness, Red Bull used 22 crew members over 10 attempts in a span of four hours.
