Red Bull Racing has set another new Formula 1 pit stop record after servicing Max Verstappen in just 1.82s at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Red Bull beat Williams’ 2016 record of 1.92s at this year’s British Grand Prix with a 1.91s stop when changing the tyres on Pierre Gasly’s car.
It then lowered it further at the following event in Germany when Verstappen’s tyre stop lasted a mere 1.88s.
In Brazil Red Bull shaved another 0.06s off its own best as it turned around Verstappen’s car in just 1.82s during the first round of pit stops.
It marked the eighth time this season that Red Bull has set the quickest pit stop time during the course of a grand prix.
Verstappen went on to claim his and Red Bull's third victory of the season.
Williams, which has been one of the standout pit crews this season despite its poor on-track pace, produced the second- and third-fastest stops of the race.
Williams changed Robert Kubica’s tyres in 2.1s while George Russell was serviced in just 2.2s.
