Well this one is the weakest of the pit stop features, but I liked the first three and posted this on the back of liking the others more!

The teams are all so secretive that they would never make the interesting technical discussion that we want... if you take the Sauber cutaway series for example, gearboxes would be an obvious episode to cover, but for contractual reasons they can't show us the inside of their gearbox because it comes from another team! These videos are the best that I can find, but unfortunately most F1 fans will have seen them as filler pieces during the race coverage

I do feel that I have failed in tagging and channel assignment though, can you suggest what I should have put to avoid wasting your time? The more technical ones will always be in the engineering channel, and the less technical ones will be in sports/wheels.

I did post a few which were a little bit more interesting from a technical point of view:

It is his role during the pit stop, but the pit crew all have a main job as well. Mechanics and fabricators can make between £30-50,000; engineers between £40-100,000+. It's probably not that different than the pay for U.S. pit crews, which is supposed to be $35,000 to $90,000 per year.

During the race they do front wing adjustments, same as indy cars, so it makes sense to practice this too.

A 4 second pit stop isn't terribly fast compared to their competitors. The top teams are training their pit crews and attempting to match McLaren's 2.4 seconds... giving away three seconds over the course of the race is as much as 15-20 individual car improvements, or half a tenth per lap.

One of his flappy pedals wasn't working properly, and to prevent it from failing entirely, they switched his steering wheel.>> ^Raveni:
Why do they change the steering wheel?

I was going to write something sarcastic like "Too long. Didn't watch the whole thing."...
But I'm sincerely curious. Why do they change the steering wheel?


Interesting question indeed! I'm wondering if there are batteries in there? Perhaps it's to get around some crazy rule F1 seems riddled with.
