The Pit Stops
Manage episode 478709352 series 3302290
Precision, choreography, and teamwork. From once being almost comically unsafe and inefficient, pit stops now represent perhaps two of the most intense seconds of a race for any Formula 1 team. Like most things in motor racing, they're high in risk, demanding extreme skill, focus and millimeter accuracy.
In this episode, Gom and Das explore how the likes of McLaren, Red Bull and Williams have perfected their wheel gun ballets, consistently servicing their machines faster than most of us tie our shoelaces. From coded radio calls to outrageous wheel nut budgets, these are the ins and out (laps) of Formula 1 pit stops.
