    1. Was half exciting the driver to have a cuppa and a smoke before getting in again.

      How much time it took for earlier pit stop, also came a long way after that

    3. I’d rather watch the 1950’s race! The hammering, rolling wheels around, and pulling gas lines is way more interesting and fun than the 2020 version. And wait ’til you hear about the crashes…

      My wife has clearly been watching 1920 racing content, I wondered why there were hammer marks on my alloy wheels.

    5. Looks like they needed a heavier guy on the front jack. Poor sod was struggling.

    6. I think slow and more complicated pitstops would be better for the race. Would change up the positions more so you have more passes

      I’m guessing the decision between a one stop and a two stop strategy would be a lot simpler.

      Yeah but he didn’t get to have a chat, a cup of tea and a cleaned windshield. Where’s the customer service?!

    9. Yeah in case you’re even wondering why they were called ‘knock-off rims’.

    10. I’ve used a similar video like this in work when trying to make a case to automate some things in our Ops that are very manual

    11. I wish it was still like this (ok, similar…) in f1.  Fewer mechanics means more potential for screw-ups, i.e., more variability in race outcomes (it is after all, “a team sport”). 

    12. Odd that they only changed the front tires. Can’t imagine that happening in today’s F1
