Pit stops ... an essential element of any race. Just look at last season alone, to see that it was in the pits, you can win the race (Ferrari, Italian Grand Prix), but also lose points (Renault and Mercedes, the Hungarian Grand Prix). Ba! One poor decision can make pit stops that we lose the whole championship (Ferrari, Abu Dhabi). It is no wonder, then, that the alley is always a lot going on and there are always things from the perspective of the team ... often desirable, however, are interesting to the eye złaknionego entertainment viewer. In the forthcoming season, the teams strode will probably greater than ever field of possibilities in this regard. And all thanks to the Pirelli tires, which apparently can withstand extremely short. The end, therefore, predictable strategy virtually identical for all teams, but also with the possibility of actually traveled the entire distance on one set of tires, which, if necessary several times rescued in 2010 racing some drivers (Fernando Alonso in Monaco, Italy Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg and Vitaly Petrov in Abu Dhabi.) Which is standard in 2010, leaving a pit stop to rest, and this opens the door surprises. Therefore promises to be a season full of attractions, in which strategies and (naturally) the quantity of pit stops (and the quality of their implementation) will play a key role. The one who will write up on this issue is best, will have an advantage over rivals.
It is worth to do a little review of the alloy pit accident. In this way we will know where lurks the greatest threat and what at the time of this crucial maneuver should pay special attention ...
first We will be orderly and rapid pit stop, you get to pits. This seemingly trivial thing, not always so obvious. He learned about it even Christijan Albers, who during a training session Bahrain 2005 mistaken entries and (to his surprise) instead of working the crowd like a sweat mróweczki engineers encountered a void (and the problems back on track) ...
second After locating the entrance to pit lane before the driver becomes more, how difficult a task - get to his position . The fact that this is not so easy to be convinced, among others so great a driver as
David Coulthard (GP Australia, 1995)
and
Hamilton, who during GP China 2007 was so capable, that probably the only one stuck in the roadside gravel around the track. A feat worthy of enough to remember that this gravel trap was the size of the average sandbox ...
third When somehow manages to have to enter the pits, you need to track down his mechanics , and then adjust accordingly at his post service. Although training and experience do not always succeed ...

maneuver is even harder if you're a novice driver with big aspirations. He learned about this Jaime Alguersuari that during Abu Dhabi 2009 , you probably already planning his brilliant future, rather than as a Toro Rosso appeared before the Red Bull garage.
4th found on its position or you need to know how to properly set . Watching the actions of some drivers reach the viewer, as very dangerous and risky work is a mechanic. It is better therefore not be subject to drivers, because I may want to take revenge, and (przypadkowych!) methods have at least a few ... In the end, even the greatest champions can happen, such slip:
Michael Schumacher
Kimi Raikkonen (GP of Europe, 2008)
Juan Pablo Montoya
5th Especially be careful riding in the position at the first pit stop her life. All the more so if the Japanese are unpredictable samurajskimi tendency to break up ...
Kazuki Nakajima (GP Brazil 2007)
6th parked. Thus - Fuel! A as a refueling and gasoline. And this, as we know, is quite flammable. Unfortunately fire was a frequent visitor to the pits and unfortunately not all of them ended in innocent fun and joy ... the abandonment of the mandatory provisions requiring refueling during the race may be deprived of teams (at least for 2010) a more flexible choice of strategies, but also eliminated a of the larger dangers.
Jos Verstappen (German GP, \u200b\u200b1994)
Felipe Massa (GP of Spain, 2007)
Kimi Räikkönen and Heikki Kovalainen (Grand Prix of Brazil, 2009)
Michael Schumacher (Grand Prix of Australia, 2003)
Gianmaria Bruni (Italian GP, \u200b\u200b2004)
7th As part of the mechanics fills up, another group tire changes. Sometimes I get one zagapi, very bad thing and hurry przykręci. Or not at all ... przykręci
Nigel Mansel (GP of Portugal, 1991)
Nico Rosberg (Hungarian Grand Prix, 2010)
8th When it seems that everything went according to plan, it appears that the driver of another trap lurking. Exemption driver from his position at the right time is key, and perform the same maneuver at the wrong time can lead to drop out of the race not only to our ward, but other ...
Robert Kubica (Grand Prix of Hungary, 2010)
9th Lizakowy fallible as you can see sometimes, so some teams are trying to replace him would seem to less reliable electronic systems. Nothing could be further from the truth. Electronic systems also make mistakes, which can result in real beads, not to say kuriozach pit alloy ...
Ferrari and Felipe Massa (GP Singapore, 2008)
And since as everyone knows, who does not have in mind this is in my legs, so you have a swell time just to fix a bug ...
10. There are, however, those days when everything just goes wrong.
Prominent professionals, the best in their profession in action:
Esteban Tuero (GP Argentina, 1998)
