Always Wrong But Never In Doubt

Wheel Nuts

The record for the fastest pit stop is held by McLaren at 1.80 seconds at the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.

Valtteri BOTTAS, then at Mercedes, holds the record for wheel nut removal after a mechanic mis-threaded the front right at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2021. It took five days to get the wheel removed after shipping the chassis back to the factory in England.

Sauber's pit stops this year take somewhere in between 1.80 seconds and five days.

First a little digression. My first car was a 1954 Jaguar (pronounced JAG - U - arr) XK120. Light blue rag top, black leather interior. It couldn't have cost me much as I was a university student at the time. Washing dishes at the school cafeteria or renting out as a demonstrator in front of the White House were my source of funds.

One last important note. It had knock off wire wheels of course.

If only I had a set our four replacements (wire wheels of course) a current F1 pit stop crew of 20 would be faster on my XK than Dauber has been this year.

The Finn had problems at Melbourne. ZHOU Yuan missed out on points in Saudis Arabia.

Mis-threaded wheel nuts. Plans are for a new design after China.

Frankly I didn't think wheel nut technology was advancing that rapidly. Shows what I know.

Until a fix is in place Sauber will be taking the safe approach. While other teams do their pit stops in the low 2 second range Sauber takes a languid 3.5 seconds or more.

Imagine you are the ex-Mercedes, grand prix winner who has fought tooth and nail with Kevin MAGNUSSEN for the last ten laps both on the same tyres. But at Turn 10 you pull off an audacious move to get by the stubborn Dane.

But you get by.

Then loose everything you have gained in the pit because of wheel nuts.

Things were better in Shanghai. Everyone else was doing low two seconds. Sauber upper 3's.

Not a thing of legend.
