Twenty teammates. Two seconds. Total teamwork. F1 pit stops are iconic, but why are they so important, and why are they so difficult to do perfectly? Who's on the pit crew, and what does each person do? Katie and Christian get the answers from:
- Gemma Fisher - the human performance specialist who revolutionised F1 pit stops
- Connor Swan - Alpine F1 Team's Pit Stop Performance Co-ordinator
- Kevin Magnussen - Haas F1 Team driver
Christian and Katie break down an F1 pit stop - from the role of the driver, to the mechanics who fit the tyres - and how the crew works together to get the car back on track in the shortest possible time.
