21 crew. 11 fastest pit-stop times from the first 13 races. 1 world record-equalling time. Williams. Worthy winners. Enough said.
Congratulation to Williams, the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Winners of 2016.
Pit stops are possibly the most visual evidence of why Formula One racing is a team sport. The DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award was established in 2015 to recognise outstanding teamwork and performance from the 'unsung heroes' who make a critically important contribution to the drivers' success on the track.
