> “We used to see changeovers as down time,” Glover says. “McLaren sees pit stops as an opportunity to win the race.” This is news to me, having watched F1 over the years, I was actually under the impression McLaren saw pit stops as an opportunity to lose races it really should have won. Ok, the above might be somewhat tongue in cheek, but 2012 was the height of this when they had, at least in Hamilton's hands, probably the best car on the grid, but only he only ended up 4th in the Drivers' championship largely due to numerous pit stop errors. Admittedly they aren't the only team that has made mistakes, but they are the only team I know of that tries to sells it's expertise so openly to other industries. I know they set this division up several years ago, when the team was much stronger, but now that the team has become a shadow of their former self, it must make their marketing of these services that much harder.
