Mercedes to make F1 pitstop overhaul after slow Austin tyre changes
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged that their pitstop performance has been a weakness for years, as they have consistently been slower than their rivals. Wolff believes that the issues lie with their equipment rather than human error. However, he recognizes that with the increasing competitiveness, Mercedes needs to change its approach and improve their pitstop times. Lewis Hamilton also agrees that the pitstops cost them valuable time in the United States race, making their task of challenging Max Verstappen even more difficult. Despite the pitstop struggles, Hamilton is positive about the team’s pace and believes they were able to match Red Bull at certain points during the race.
