You saw them clearly on the stop in HRT/SP Tools firesuits , while the other blokes stated in the pits.
It has you wondering whether this is actually allowed. On the 'door' of each team's pit area is an A4 sheet of passport photos of the 7 people allocated/assigned to that car. In a 2 car team there are 2 sheets across that pair of motor cars
Seems odd that blokes allocated to cars 2 & 22 end up working on 222..
Wonder if Mr Dane noticed?  |
Nothing in the regs to say you can't swap pit crews. D12.2 just says max of 8 people, not much else.
I would guess that WR had 2 guys trained specifically to do pad changes, who were used across all the WR cars.
Either that or they re-assigned the 2 pit crew across the 3 other teams.
