Weird not seeing them old guys smoking.

It's probably for health reasons.

It took the guy longer to clean the windshield in 1950 then todays whole pitstop.

It's probably for health reasons.

Pretty cool to see the two comparisons. I had seen the Melbourne stop a few months ago.

did he take fuel on the modern stop? no way he took enough fuel to last as long as the tires until the next stop.

it is a pressure fill system to get it in that quick....

 

[bob1961]

did not see a fuel hose after watching it over....

They don't refuel in races anymore, been that way for a few years. This last race we saw pit stops in the 2.3-2.5 second range. Car goes up, blink twice, car goes down.

wow that was cool should just hav a lil ramp to jump through the crew instead of stopping

For some reason, the NASCAR pitstops impress me more. Could be the extra lugnuts per wheel, not as much pit crew over the wall, still only using floor jacks, and filling the car from huge gas cans, all while doing so far quicker than a gas pump can fill a small street car's tank"thumbsup"

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

also was that F1 or Indy car in the modern stop?
sorry i dont watch open wheel stuff.

It says Formula 1 pit stops in the title! Nor does Indy race outside of the US. Melbourne... AUS... And that was a Ferrari.

Derp!
