In 2019, the Red Bull Formula One racing team set an astonishing record of completing a pit stop in 1.82 seconds. It appeared impossible to beat that record untli last Sunday, when the crew servicing Lando Norris's car at the Qatar Grand Prix completed the job in just 1.8 seconds, thus establishing a new world record as reported by Top Gear.
A lot takes place at a Formula One pit stop. At minimum, the tires are swapped out. That's what happened at this stop, where the pit crew's perfect work contributed to Norris placing third in the race.

Just FYI, the car is not (and has not been since 2009) refuelled in a pit stop - just tyre change usually. Still incredibly quick though!
