Red Bull Racing posted a new fastest pit stop time in Formula 1 at the German Grand Prix, according to data released by the championship’s partner DHL.
Red Bull’s pit crew lowered the record at the preceding event in Britain when Pierre Gasly was serviced in just 1.91s, 0.01s faster than the previous best time.
DHL revealed on Monday morning that Red Bull was judged to have turned around Max Verstappen in 1.88s when he switched from Intermediates to Softs on lap 46 at Hockenheim.
Two of Verstappen’s other four stops were also among the quickest of the grand prix, having been serviced in 2.04s on lap 25, when he took on Mediums, and 2.11s on lap 41, when he returned to Intermediates.
Williams produced the second-fastest stop of the grand prix as it serviced Robert Kubica in just 1.99s, the only other sub two-second pit stop in the race.
Between the two respective groups of mechanics Red Bull and Williams have been responsible for the fastest 10 pit stops undertaken in 2019.
