Pit Stop

Races are won and lost in the pits in motorsports all the time. Few things will frustrate a driver more than losing a lead because of mistakes in the pits. If you have ever had to change a tire on the side of the road, you know what a pain that process can be.

This great footage juxtaposes a Formula 1 pit stop from the 1950 Indianapolis 500 with that of the 2013 Australia Formula 1 Grand Prix. The 1950s video shows one member of the pit crew taking 67 seconds to change just two tires while another crew member gives the driver a refreshing drink and cleans the windscreen.
