Every week we showcase incredible moments of human achievement, where Radio Makes It Possible.
This week, we’re racing into the world of Formula 1 to witness the fastest pit stop in history. At the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, McLaren shattered the DHL Fastest Pit Stop record with an astonishing time of 1.80 seconds. This feat, along with the other lightning-fast pit stops featured, proves that split-second precision and flawless teamwork can make or break a race.
How Radio Made It Possible
Formula 1 is a sport of milliseconds, where victory hinges on the coordination speed of the driver & pit crew. Radio communication plays a crucial role in ensuring every team member is perfectly synchronised to execute these high-pressure manoeuvres.
- Seamless Team Coordination: Radios connect the pit crew, engineers, and driver, enabling flawless execution of pit stops.
- Real-Time Updates: Instant communication allows teams to adapt their strategies mid-race, whether to respond to a changing track, weather, or competitor tactics.
- Precision and Timing: Radio ensures every second counts, from timing the pit entry to coordinating tyre changes and releasing the car back on track.
McLaren’s record-breaking pit stop highlights the power of real-time communication and teamwork under pressure. It’s a testament to what can be achieved when technology and human skill work hand-in-hand.
