McLaren break F1 record in Qatar
During the Qatar Grand Prix, McLaren achieved the fastest pit stop, breaking Red Bull’s previous world record. The race had a unique rule where drivers had to make pit stops after completing a maximum of 18 laps on their tires for safety reasons. McLaren came out on top with a 1.80-second pit stop by Lando Norris on Lap 27, surpassing Red Bull’s 1.82-second record from the 2019 Brazilian GP. Red Bull’s pit stop for Sergio Perez was fifth fastest, while Ferrari and AlphaTauri took second and third place respectively. Red Bull has been the leader in this area, setting the benchmark in 2013 and breaking their own record with a sub-two-second stop in Austin. In 2019, they achieved a series of records before the long-standing record was set in Brazil.
