Red Bull Racing has been the talk of the F1 division on and off the track. Off the track, they have been exciting the world with vet David Coulthard. On the track, breaking world records with the fastest pit stop in F1 history.

Aside from Red Bull and F1 driver Max Verstappen making a big name for himself, being regarded as one of the best young drivers in the game, Red Bull Racing pit team puts the F1 team in the history books for the quickest pit stop in the history of Formula 1.

"Red Bull pitting Pierre Gasly for a new set of tyres and managing to switch them over in 1.91 seconds. 1.91 seconds! The crew performed the record-breaking pit stop. F1’s official source tells us this 1.91sec stop was 0.01sec quicker than the previous fastest ever pit stop time, held then by Red Bull and Williams. Mind. Blown. (via TopGear.com)"

The fastest live the longest! And it appears Red Bull Racing and their pit crew have the quickest draw of the tyre gun. Ironically enough, they beat their previous record from back in the days when they laid in bed with Williams.

The Current Situation in F1 for Red Bull Racing

The Aston Martin team with a Honda RA619H engine sits in a good position this Formula One campaign. Max Verstappen sits in a podium position in the driver’s category, in third place. The Belgian-Dutch has managed three podium finishes and has won one race so far.

His partner Pierre Gasly doesn’t trail far behind him in the F1 driver’s ranking. He places three places behind Max in sixth place, with 55 points. Sadly, no podium or summit finishes for the young man.

Red Bull places third in the constructor’s standings, having only Max’s win and podium finishes to show for. But showing their record-breaking skills in the pit lane gives us a good indication, Red Bull Racing is getting back to their best.

Next race will be the world-renowned Hockenheimring on Sunday, 28 Jul, at 15:10.
