Ferrari pip Red Bull at the post in battle for DHL Fastest Pit Stop
Red Bull had to face plenty of challenges in the Miami Grand Prix and not just out on track, as McLaren got the better of their man, Max Verstappen, but also in the pit lane where they were beaten by Ferrari in a race against the clock to set a DHL Fastest Pit Stop time of under 2 seconds.
Red Bull did a good job for Sergio Perez with a change of tires from mediums to hard on Lap 18 taking just 1.95 seconds. That was at the time the second pit stop of the season in less than 2 seconds, and the tenth consecutive pit stop performed by the team in under 2.18 seconds.
But Ferrari’s crew were quick to rise to the challenge, calling Charles Leclerc into the pits just two laps later when he was stationary for a mere 1.94 seconds. So, the duel for the DHL Fastest Pit Stop was decided in favor of the Scuderia by a hundredth of a second!
This was the first stop of the year in less than 2 seconds for the Italians. Red Bull pitted another two times but failed to beat Ferrari’s benchmark figure on both occasions with stops of 2.22 and 2.64 respectively. The Scuderia’s pit strategy and speedy tire change paid off in the end for Leclerc who overtook Oscar Piastri with the undercut and ultimately secured third place at the checkered flag.
