F1 News: Unseen Footage Of Mercedes Monaco GP Double Pit Stop Wows Fans

Footage of Mercedes double pit stop during the hectic Monaco Grand Prix has been released, leaving fans showering the Brackley-based squad with praise over the nail-biting moment.

Double pit stops always raise the tension of a Grand Prix as the team attempts to carry out a pit stop for both cars one immediately after the other. The aim is to do this without hindering the second car, however, fans have seen it all too many times where it does not go to plan.

This time, however, the Mercedes team managed to pull the double pit stop off well despite the right rear of George Russell's W14 being a bit tricky to remove.

Sharing the moment to social media, Dan from the Engine Braking Podcast, posted:

"Man, they missed this on the TV but that double pit stop was cutting it close!"
