There hasn't been refuelling in F1 for years, and yes, a 4 second stop is considered pretty poor. Most are around three seconds, with mclaren leading the way with a 2.4 second stop last race.

Wot, no refuelling? No fun! I should watch a race and see what else has changed.


Lots. For example, Red Bull is a top-tier team now...oh, and F1 cars are all hybrids now (kinda).

This season has been excellent fun. There have been several rounds where just the qualifying was as entertaining as a whole race weekend from a few years ago.

I don't actually remember if it was Monaco where the qualifying was more entertaining than the race, but if not then it was easily close and there has been one round where that was the case.

The new rules have worked a treat.

They have to refuel in the garage before the start of the race, and then carry enough fuel for the whole race.

Since the weight of the fuel carries a time penalty, nobody actually carries enough fuel to finish the race flat out, they always have to spend at least some time saving fuel (lifting off the throttle early on corners, turning down the engine etc.).

When the Virgin team first joined, they discovered that they hadn't designed their car with a big enough fuel tank, so just getting to the end with the engine turned down was a major challenge for them until they introduced a redesigned car.

How do they refuel if they don't....refuel?

McLaren had a 2.4 secs pit stop this past weekend at the German GP...crazy.

Four seconds is actually pretty slow by modern F1 standards.


Slow? Seems pretty quick to my mind, based on memory of what F1 pits are like. This looked like a tyre change so no fuel being put in - could they really get much faster?

>> ^Yogi:

Do the wheels attach with magnets?


I believe they attach with one large lug in the center.

>> ^PlayhousePals:

That was one slow ass pit crew [well, until the bear that is] =o)


That is why it was pissed!

>> ^EvilDeathBee:

Why are they doing a pit stop in the middle of a random road in the country?


Why not?

Not sure this belongs in WTF, it is more of an awesome than a wtf...


And don't they always do this? It would be WTF if it took four minutes.
