Formula 1 has a new pit stop world record!

The feat went unnoticed amid the thrilling action out on the track, but a new all-time pit stop record was achieved in Sunday's British Grand Prix.

The fastest tyre swap in the history of Grand Prix racing took place on lap 13 and was performed in 1.91 seconds by Red Bull Racing and the crew servicing Pierre Gasly's RB15.

The DHL Fastest Pit Stop Aawrd clinched by the Milton Keynes-based outfit last weekend beat a three-year record held by Williams since the 2016 European Grand Prix in Baku, where Felipe Massa's tyres were changes in a swift 1.92 seconds.

It actually takes longer to say Azerbaijan!

Beyond the record, the achievement is first and foremost a testimony to a crew's flawless precision and coordination, and perhaps the ultimate expression of team work in F1.

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.
