Now it appears that Mercedes has got the fastest pit stop in F1 so far this year!
Germany's Auto Motor und Sport analysed all of the track data and found that Mercedes' average race pitstop time in 2011 is 22.301 secs, 0.08secs faster than McLaren, while Red Bull's time is 22.589 seconds, slower by nearly three tenths.
Ferrari and Williams are way down the list in 7th and 8th at their stops with an average time of 23.739 & 23.810 respectively. Hispania really suck at pitstops - shaving time off here may help get them ahead of Virgin and Lotus in the races.
