A pit stop is a scheduled or unscheduled visit to the pit lane during a race, used to change tyres, refuel, repair damage, or make setup adjustments. In Formula 1, pit stops are executed by a crew of up to 20 mechanics and can take as little as 1.8 seconds to change all four tyres. In endurance racing, pit stops also involve driver changes and refuelling, requiring precise choreography to minimise time loss.
