    So Red Bull now has the fastest and the slowest pit stop of the season (or ever).

      Not ever. Bottas still holds that honor (2021 Monaco GP. One of the wheel nuts got stripped. Merc had to ship the car back to Brackley to get the wheel off)

          F1 still counts it as a pit stop in their media, even if it’s unofficial.

            So is it a pit stop every time a car retires in the pit due to damage? Surely cars have taken longer to repair than removing a stripped wheel nut. It’s only a pit stop if they get back to the race.
