Report: Merc GP pit crew tops
An analysis of all the pit stops that took place during the 2010 has shown that the Mercedes GP pit crew were the most efficient.
In a study conducted by Auto Motor und Sport revealed that the Brackley-based outfit managed to get Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher out of the pits and back on the track consistently quicker than any other team.
The Merc pit crew recorded the quickest pit stop on eight occasions, three times with Nico Rosberg (in Malaysia, Turkey and Germany) and five times with Michael Schuamcher (in China, Spain, Monaco, Britain and Belgium).
While Mercedes had consistent speed, Red Bull managed the fastest stop of the season, releasing Sebastian Vettel in just 2.9 seconds in Monza.
Red Bull were second on the overall table, managing the fastest stops in Bahrain, Australia, Hungary, Italy and Abu Dhabi.
Third was Ferrari with three fastest stops, followed by Sauber with two and McLaren with just one.
The Lotus crew were the slowest of the lot, with five of the slowest race stops, followed by Hispania and Renault with four apiece.
