Pitstop guide

 Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 | Step 5 | Step 6

 

Introduction
New rules for 2005 have banned tyre changes during Grands Prix unless a tyre is damaged. Even then, refuelling cannot be carried out at the same time. Refuelling and changing tyres simultaneously as shown in this movie is still allowed, but only if the track conditions are changing between wet and dry."

Step One
The driver has to stop exactly on marks painted on the pit lane so the mechanics lose no time repositioning themselves.
