There is a need to have a dedicated professional to take a nut off and back on the wheel and I am sure he gets paid well.

BUT really how can truly justify this as a true profession. Teacher, Dr, Engineer , Mechanic... NOPE I take 1 nut off then put it on as fast as possible,

The kid at Jiffy Lube does more, and makes less. F1 sign me up.

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.

Yeah, these guys are full-time team mechanics. Pit crewing is just what they do during the time the cars are on the track. And during all of the practices. Frankly, they are probably somewhat underpaid given the hours they work and how important they are to the overall success of the team.

Moving this video to oritteropo's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter oritteropo.
