Lors d'un Grand Prix, chaque seconde est importante. Le temps gagné ou perdu lors des ravitaillements influence souvent le classement de la course. Les meilleures équipes insistent beaucoup sur la préparation des manœuvres. Certains pilotes, Michael Schumacher par exemple, sont passés maîtres dans l'art de gagner de précieuses secondes dans les puits.

Record 2 2005-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Motorized Sports
CONT

Pit mechanics must come out into the pit lane on the lap before the car comes in, so all teams will know when a car is about to do something. This is termed a scheduled pit stop. Unscheduled pit stops are allowed(usually as a result of combat damage when the driver just pulls into the pits), but the pit crew must come out as soon as the decision for a pit stop is made in this case. There is no penalty for an unscheduled pit stop save the time taken for the pit crew to get ready for it.

CONT

In the late 20th Century, a lot of races were won by how quickly a pit stop could be taken, and an F1 team cannot function without its pit crew.

CONT

We suggest you pay attention to every daring pass, heart-stopping near miss and crucial pit stop, because you’re up next.

CONT

Fractions of a second count in Formula One Racing, especially during box stops.

OBS

A stop during a race during which racing cars are refueled etc.
