The Evolution Of F1 Pit-Stops! | DHL

Observe how the art of the F1 'pit-stop' has evolved over the years in Formula 1! From slower, more busier and dangerous stops in the early days of the sport, to the slick, fast-moving (we're talking SECONDS!) and efficient stops we see today.

3:08 The Alpha Romeo Mechanic being madly impressed by the speed of the McLaren pitstop is hilarious 😂

Don't you miss the days where the correct torque spec for your wheel nuts was '5 hits with sledgehammer'?

F1 content during the break is like drinking water in the Sahara

In Germany 2019, Merc were so invested into the "1950's tribute" thing to the point they did a 50-second pitstop as a tribute 🎉🎉

It would have been interesting to have shown in the video the "controversial" pit stops from 2005 season, when tire changing was prohibited and only refueling was allowed

[thisusernamewasnttakensomehow]

I’m a bit disappointed they didn’t show a “de-evolution” in Bottas’s Monaco 2021 stop taking 2 days to complete

[WeAreNotAIone]

I do miss refueling mid race, it was just that extra bit spicy

[floriannelles]

It's always crazy when you think about the fact that there was no pit limiter back then. Such a big risk

[TheMarslMcFly]

Should've put the actual pit stop times for every stop

[FernandoVictorFerrando]

It would have been interesting if you showed the time of the stop

[Breezavelli]

Seeing the pit crew dressed in shorts a Tshirt and loafers with gloves as the only ppc in the late 80s will always be crazy to me.

[tuartGuy]

it would be easier to appreciate Mclaren's sub 2s pitstop if their weren't several camera angle changes in such a short space of time

[metal-gods]

I'm surprised James hunt didn't hop out for a quick cig.

That chaotic-looking pitstop by Emerson Fittipaldi was actually pretty fast by 1975 standards. The efficiency of pitstops improved dramatically after the introduction of the preplanned stop by the Brabham team in 1982 ...

Dear F1, Kindly upload some of the old and interesting race highlights please. For example: 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix, 2013 Indian Grand Prix, and 2006 Japanese Grand Prix.

1950s pit stops are faster than Hamilton's pit stop in Germany 2019

[tylerensminger]

Seeing the 1950s pitstop was kinda mind blowing. The driver got out and casually jumped back in after the pitstop was completed.

redbull nail their pitstop's everytime

[simoneghilardini]

Ferrari mechanics in the yellow AGIP shirt and black trousers doing a pit stop is iconic. Miss them in this combination.

If times would have added along with the years that would have dropped our jaws❤
