Red Bull’s dominant performance persisted throughout the race after a five-year hiatus. They not only triumphed in the Sprint race but also secured pole position for the main race. Additionally, they clinched a front-row start at the Chinese GP. Therefore, Red Bull executed a highly impressive pit stop strategy under the safety car during the race.
Red Bull’s strategy allowed the team to achieve several standout performances in various races. Consequently, during this race as well, the Milton Keynes-based team adhered to a challenging yet successful strategy. They opted for two double pit stops in the race, each taking approximately four seconds, wasting no time for Verstappen and Perez to continue racing on the circuit.
The Red Bull team was well-prepared for the pit stop and showed incredibly impressive performance. They changed Max Verstappen’s tires in just 2.1 seconds. Shortly after, they swiftly changed Sergio Perez’s tires in only 2.0 seconds. Thus, the team successfully completed a double pit stop in a total time of 4.1 seconds. Consequently, the Red Bull drivers currently maintain a comfortable position in the Chinese GP.

A engine failure during the Chinese GP led to the deployment of a safety car to clean the track. As a result, several teams and drivers opted to make a pit stop under the safety car. Red Bull had just made a pit stop for both of their drivers with a hard compound. However, the Milton Keynes-based team decided once again to execute a double pit stop under the safety car.
The second pit stop mirrored the impressive first double pit stop executed by the team. In contrast, the second double pit stop under the safety car was even faster than the first. Verstappen’s tires were changed in less than 1.9 seconds, while Perez’s tires were changed in just 2.0 seconds. Therefore, both drivers continued to enjoy an advantage in terms of race strategy.
Red Bull provided both drivers with an excellent strategy and pit stop. All that remains for the two drivers is to maximize their results and achieve remarkable performances in the Chinese GP. The team consistently demonstrated their reliability and commitment to flawless execution. Consequently, the duo capitalized on the impressive strategy and continued to maximize their results in the Chinese GP.
