Ferrari – Red Bull fight also goes through F1 pits: pit stops faster than ever. Ferrari versus Red Bull, the battle at the top also goes through the pits.

Scuderia Ferrari challenges Red Bull in the pits, super-fast pit stops in 2024. The Maranello team continues to perfect pit lane maneuvers, which were not always a strong point for the Reds. In Miami, they also clinched the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award, the second after the one conquered at the Bahrain International Circuit. Surely this is an important weapon in case on-track performances become increasingly equal.

The Miami Grand Prix brought not one, but two big surprises. The first, needless to say, is Lando Norris’s first career victory. The Englishman, after sixteen podiums and over a hundred races, has finally broken the spell that kept him away from the coveted P1. Immense joy for Andrea Stella and Zak Brown, who see their trust and efforts rewarded.

The other big surprise is in the pit stops. As usual, lightning-fast at Red Bull, which changes Sergio Perez’s tires in 1.95 seconds. However, the fastest are the mechanics from Maranello: with their 1.94 seconds during Charles Leclerc’s pit stop, they clinch the second seasonal category award.

A record already achieved in Bahrain when, also with Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari box clocked in at 2.23 seconds. In an era where Red Bull has been the benchmark for almost a decade, the Prancing Horse finally seems to be able to approach Milton Keynes. A topic that McLaren is also addressing, increasingly close to perfection in tire changes.

Consistency will play a fundamental role. Ferrari mechanics often deliver stellar performances on one car, offering mediocrity on the other, and vice versa. When the gaps narrow, gaining or losing even just a second in the pit lane can make a big difference. A quality that Red Bull excels in, but one that both Maranello and Woking are diligently pursuing.
