Stake F1 has endured a difficult start to the 2024 F1 season as it has faced pit-stop difficulties at every round this year.
Stake F1’s start to the 2024 season has been marred by lacklustre pit stops in the first three grands prix, with issues persisting from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia and Australia. Even though the team promised to investigate and fix the pit stop problem before the Australian Grand Prix, the issues continued to plague both Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu. Racing director Xevi Pujolar revealed that the pit stop malfunctions are due to a hardware problem with the wheel unit, hampering the team’s performance significantly. Despite the struggles, Stake F1 remains ninth in the constructors’ championship, with Pujolar emphasizing the need for calmness and optimism moving forward. The team aims to bounce back and compete for better results in the upcoming races, with hopes of addressing the pit stop challenges effectively to secure valuable points in the season.
