Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has promised a new pitstop mindset after the slow tyre changes that proved costly in Formula 1's United States Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton finished just 2.2 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen in what was arguably his most competitive outing of the year prior to a disqualification for a plank infringement. However, it was not lost on Hamilton nor his squad that the race could have had a different initial outcome if less time had been lost in its two pitstops, which were judged as taking 3.6 and 3.4 seconds. This compares with the fastest pitstop of the day by Alpine at 2.
