pit stop

TSA in July brought an end to decades of fumbling with shoelaces and pit stops at benches when it announced new procedures that allow passengers to keep their shoes on while passing through airport security.

Now the pit stop for Southern Californians heading to Vegas is struggling to survive.

Piastri complained that he thought there had been an agreement that a slow pit stop was just a part of racing that had to be accepted, but acquiesced anyway.

Piastri objected to that decision, saying he thought they had agreed that slow pit stops were to be considered part of racing, and therefore not something that should be corrected.

It's deliberately very soft, and the idea behind introducing it was to try to generate more pit stops, and force teams away from the one-stop strategies that predominate in F1 at the moment.
