    McLaren's 'double pit-stop'.
    Under severe pressure, they had only seconds to 'service' both cars. I'm not sure how long the whole turn-around was, but I was properly impressed with them for the first time this season.

    I think somebody said it was 6 seconds from first car leaving to next arriving.

    Yes. It must have been something like that. My impression was about 10 seconds all round. Not bad when one considers the logistics of every corner managing 4 wheels each - none of which must interfere with each other.

    I was going to say Lewis and his mum (aaah) but I have to agree with Cosi. The double pit stop was all the more remarkable for me because it was McLaren, who have lost a fair few races because their pit crew.
