Red Bull has won the DHL fastest pit stop award five times out of the opening seven races so far this season, with three of their pit stops clocking at under two seconds. And Red Bull team principal Horner believes it is a deliberate attempt to negate his side’s advantage. “The technical directive is certainly very wordy and you always have to question whether it’s a change of regulation,” Horner said on Friday at the Styrian Grand Prix.
