Quickest F1 pit stop in 2022: Red Bull's rapid Hungarian GP change

Red Bull continue to dominate F1 at the moment, showing themselves as the pit stop kings as well as currently topping the Drivers’ Championship and the Constructors’ Championship this season.

A clip posted to Twitter by Red Bull Racing shows and celebrates the team getting the fastest pit stop of this season at the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend.

The flawless pit stop takes a mere 2.19 seconds on Sergio Perez’s car, which is an incredibly short time considering the new rules that were brought in on pit stops last year.

Red Bull famously used to have far superior pit stop times to any competitors, even making five sub-two-second pit stops in the first half of the 2021 season.

However, the mid-season rule changes, which sought to reduce the number of mistakes caused by botched pit stops such as loose wheels, have dented Red Bull’s pit stop superiority in the past year.

McLaren have emerged as worthy challengers to Red Bull’s pit stop throne within this time, even coming close to Red Bull’s record pit stop of the season by making a 2.26 second pit stop on Daniel Ricciardo at the same race last weekend.

However, Red Bull are re-cementing their place as the top dogs of pit stops.
