Just done a McLaren F1 pit stop!

[AceOfHearts]

Work organised to have Buttons 2011 car on site for an F1 style pit stop where we were timed to change a wheel. Great fun and me and my shift partners did it in 3.11 seconds An amazing car and great fun!

Good job you didn't try to change the left rear wheel.

Quite a few years ago myself, mum and dad got to do this on the Toyota F1 from 2007(ish) in Covent Garden in London.

Amazed at how heavy a tyre and rivet gun can be. However I was 16 or so at the time.

Think it took us about 5 seconds to do, so well done sir.

Looks like the change went smoothly, quickly and without any hiccups; unlike this year's McLaren's pitstops

They should hire you and get rid of some of the mugs they've obviously got employed by McLaren.

The highly trained professionals are struggling because of the wheel nuts, not because they're 'mugs'
