The Williams team is the class of the field when it comes to executing lightning-fast pit stops as the Grove-based outfit once again demonstrated in Montreal.

Local hero Lance Stroll, on his way to scoring his first points of the season, pitted on lap 25 and his Williams sprung into to action to execute a flawless tyre swap in 2.17 seconds.

The stop was 0.4s quicker than Stroll's best but didn't prevent the 18-year-old from dropping down the order unfortunately.

But a relentless and spirited drive ultimately brought him a points-scoring finish.

Williams still leads the overall DHL Fastest Pit Stop challenge and will likely be a tough act to follow in Baku, the scene of the team's incredible 1.92s pit stop last year.

Check out the video of Stoll's blindingly fast turnaround.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
