McLaren claims fastest 2025 pit stop as Haas endures slowest stops

McLaren posted the fastest pit stop of 2025 – a 1.91 s service on Oscar Piastri at Monza – just before a team order dropped Piastri behind Lando Norris, securing Norris’s title. By contrast, Haas logged the two slowest stops of the year on Oliver Bearman, taking over 28 seconds at Imola and Monaco.

Why it matters:

• Sub‑2‑second stops can net track position and were decisive in Norris’s title run.
• Haas’s 28‑second stops cost Bearman crucial seconds, exposing a pit‑crew weakness that hampers points.
• The pit‑stop performance gap highlights the growing importance of crew training and technology in the 2026 regulation era.

The details:

• Fastest stops: McLaren – Piastri (Monza) 1.91 s; Norris (Hungary) 1.94 s; Piastri (Hungary) 1.94 s.
• Slowest stops: Haas – Bearman (Imola) 29.04 s; Bearman (Monaco) 28.5 s.

What's next:

McLaren will aim to keep sub‑2‑second stops as a competitive edge in 2026, while Haas must overhaul its pit crew to shave off the massive time loss that cost Bearman points. The widening gap between the grid’s quickest and slowest stops could become a decisive factor under the new 2026 regulations.
