Observe how the art of the Pit Stop has evolved since 1950 Created by the channel CpatainCanuck. Footage used taken from • Video and • Ferrari F1 Pit Stop Pe... Source Video used under the Fair Use Provision.
1950: the drivers could get a cup of tea and maybe even a short stroll if it was allowed. 2000: drivers barely even take a breath and the pitstop is done
You should see his three team mates, all three of them doing a thorough job with that windscreen. Kids these days don't take pride like that in their jobs anymore. 😝
2000's team: "We have a team for each wheel to minimise the time it takes to change the wheel. First guy takes the wheel out and second guy puts a new one on. Got it?" 1950's team: "Hammer, good"
+jdmikeg4 They only have to change the tires so that they have to stop. Pirelli have said they could make tyres that could easily last for the whole race, but the rules say they have to degrade and be changed as part of "the show" of F1.
150 years from now i sure hope wheels will be unnecessary but i predict there will still be physical combustion engine rubber tire car racing to some minor extent, just for fun and nostalgia, and a break from VR. 'F1' will move onto other tech, but have splinter series of PetrolF1 for at least a few generations until nobody asks to drive for fun.
@@tommasobravo473 2021: Mercedes: Meh, we can't do a sub 2 second pitstop so it must be unsafe. FIA: OK, no more pitstops under 2 seconds. Doesn't matter there are no actual safety concerns (it actually got worse).
What else you would use ? That is how you take off or tighten those kind of wheels *( wire wheels with centre-locking). They still use those kind of wheels in some retro cars and lowriders and they still use same method when taking them off or installing them
Rentta Seems you might not know but Jeremy Clarkson is a presenter on a extremely popular show called Top Gear and his idea on fixing anything and I do mean anything is a hammer. Just in case and for those that might be confused as well.
This is really awesome, but what is similar (which I really like) are the pit stops on the current Blancpain Endurance series. Only 2 guys allows on tires, so they run from tire one to the next and have really nailed down the motions to do them all as fast as they can while the drivers swop out and fuel gets topped up.
+ 18% of "is that car ever going to arrive", 2% of hey boys, let's change the tires, and 13% of "wait, what just happened". I guess we ended up at 110% but close enough.
That 50's video is actually footage from the Indy 500. It was part of the F1 championship in the 50's but wasn't run to FIA GP regs. It was run to AAA and USAC regs.
Pit Boss: Hey Ralph, our car is in the pit. Ralph: Oh ok, just hunting down my hammer, be there in a jiff Pit Boss: No worries, please grab me a coffee while you're back there
0:15 look at the guy at the front of the car trying to get the front end jacked up. Also there's a bit of a difference when no fuel is added and only 4 people are allowed to work on the car, versus 17 people active at one time, air-powered tools, lighter cars and another 4 pit members on standby.

Notice the announcer mentioning that only 4 guys are allowed to service the car/driver in the 50's. I counted something like 21 guys for the modern stop. So, part of the speed improvement is just due to relaxation of the rules.
