*Watches Formula E pit stop for the first time*
_Driver DRIVES INTO THE GARAGE_
Me: “....wtf is he doing”

[marbleracestv]

F1 : just give me new tyres.
Indycar: give me new tyres and fuel.
LMP1: new tyres, fuel and clean my windschield.
FE: GIVE ME A NEW CAR!!!

[shawdo_yt]

Formula E: remember, changing to your secondary is faster than reloading

[memeaddict]

"Minimum pitstop time for safety reasons" *nearly collides with another car while pulling away*

[sth]

F1: New tires
Endurance: New driver
FE: *NEW CAR*

I'd say the F1 and Nascar pitstops are the most spectacular. Having to unscrew all the lugnuts makes Nascar stops pretty good to watch too, but I don't think anything really beats the synchronicity of a well-timed F1 pitstop.

Wasn’t Lightning McQueen a nascar racer of sorts? This pit is painfully slow compared to Guido

[lejohnd]

McQueen: no no no tires, just gas
F1: no no no gas, just tires

These people could steal the hell out of some wheels. Imagine you’re walking away from your car, look back to lock it, and it’s already on cinderblocks

[PanMarkus]

Man, pitstops are like mini sports or some shit.

[_lime.]

Not a big Nascar guy myself but I do find it impressive how fast they are considering the conditions (5 lugs, limited crew, no internal air jacks).

[christophercervantes]

Formula E pitstops be like: *peaceful noises*

[thoseracingdrivers]

World Endurance Championship: Slow and steady wins the race

Formula 1: *i am speed*

[bilalsmadi]

Formula E pit stop is just freaking hilarious

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

If Guido was real, he would singlehandedly be faster than all of them

[Wildcatchigga]

Me: removes plug from the socket to charge my phone.
Everyone else in the F e cockpit starting at me.

2:05 i like the part where u get a POV of the wheel changing

[dusannestorovic]

I love the idea of just sticking on a plastic sheet on the windshield and peeling it off during the stop to remove dirt instead of cleaning it by hand
Who ever thought of that deserves a pat on the back

[bobthathead]

being a fan of f1 and getting so anxious with how long every other pit stop takes 😩

[theallmightyfish]

F1:that’s kinda loud
FE:*quiet noises*
nascar:i’m about to end this mans whole car-ear
