"At the end of the first stint, I caught quite a bit of traffic and we should have just boxed because I gave up free lap time,” complained Max Verstappen of his team’s strategy in the Austrian Grand Prix. He was just getting started. “We basically did a lot of things wrong today. It started with the strategy, then the pitstop was a disaster. The first one already bad, the second one a disaster.”
When he says the first stop was bad, he’s talking of a stationary time of 2.7sec. The record is 1.8sec. The second one – in which the left-rear wheel would not come off – took 6.5sec (which was 3.6sec longer than that of his rival for victory Lando Norris).
