Lined with engineers, strategists, and senior team members, it serves as the nerve centre for decision-making during a race. From analysing data to communicating with the drivers, the pit wall is crucial in keeping the team competitive.
Each person on the pit wall has a specific role. The race engineer is the main point of contact with the driver, providing real-time updates and advice. Strategy experts monitor tyre performance, rival teams’ decisions, and weather conditions to make split-second calls. The team principal oversees the entire operation, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
