Formula 1 Pit Stops in 1950 vs Pit Stops Today

It’s only natural that with time comes change. In almost every aspect of your life, new trends and developments will come into play, and take something that you thought was and always would be incredibly familiar and make it become something else entirely.

One thing that has experienced an incredible amount of change over the years is the likes of racing in every way, shape, and form. With all of the new developments in technology, it’s only natural that racing of today doesn’t resemble racing of 70, 30, or even 10 years ago in very many ways.

Sure, there are still four wheels, a driver with his or her crew, and an engine, but pretty much everything surrounding those concepts has changed drastically. This time, we take a looked at how exactly pit stops during a Formula One race look about 70 years apart.

Today, if a pit stop took over a minute like it did in the past, drivers and their crews would probably be going insane at all of the time wasted. It’s really amazing to see the developments that have brought along the sport in monumental ways. Just imagine the sport of today going back to the ways of old, now that would be a sight to see.
