In today’s F1, the pit stop stationary time is published on the DHL official website, and the pit lane passing time is also recorded and published on the F1 official website.
DHL official pit stop stationary time
Therefore, on this site, we will calculate
(Pit lane passing time) – (Stationary time)
and try to quantify the performance of the drivers’ stops and starts in the pit boxes. I define this time as “box performance” on this site.
The box performance of the Italian GP was as follows. Also, since there were a lot of pit stops this time, we omitted the lower ranks.
Table 1 Box performance
Hulkenberg, who has been in good form lately, set the top time again. He beat the second place by 0.20 seconds, and it was a clear victory even considering the fuel load.
It was interesting to see Piastri in second place, and fans would be happy to see the promising rookie draw an upward growth curve in this area as well.
Gasly, Hamilton, Perez are now stable regulars in the top of this field. It is very rare that they (we should add Tsunoda too) are not in the top positions, and they will show their advantage in close battles involving pit stop strategies.
