Since the Belgian Grand Prix, the FIA has introduced new rules for pit stops to prevent stops from being completed in less than 2 seconds. This measure aims to bring more safety to pit stops that were considered too fast and unsafe, especially those of Red Bull, which sometimes dropped below 2 seconds.
