In this video, Scott Mansell takes an in-depth look at how 23 people come together in perfect harmony to complete the perfect F1 pit stop.

Outstanding video, Wizzo! Thanks. 

The 2 second pit stops happen in the blink of an eye. It's amazing what a complicated, precise ballet it really is. For example, I didn't know that each of the two jack men have a backup right behind them in case a jack fails.
