I think this is my first post in hn.

I'm a tifosi. But what a poor choice of F1 team to learn from successful, coordinated, well and timely executed pit stops.



Pit stops aren't Ferrari's problem. its race Strategy.


Last year for sure, they managed to have all wheels if I recall correctly.


push now. this is our race.


To be fair they did win the Fastest Pit Stop Award last season https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/2025-dhl-fastest-...


My thought exactly. When I read the title, I thought they're gonna get more people killed if they use Ferrari F1 pit crew as their learning benchmark lol.


I still vividly remember Massa's pit stop at the 2008 Singapore GP.

As a die-hard Schumacher fan, I really wanted to see Massa take the title that year, so it was heartbreaking. And yet, I can't help but laugh every time I see the Ferrari crew looking so dejected, carrying that fuel hose back to the garage like a defeated army.

I suppose we shouldn't apply this "Ferrari system" to medical surgery—unless the patient is prepared to have their aorta dragged out along with the equipment.


That article seems to be from 2012…


Ferrari pit crew wasn't much better back then either. Author probably was thinking of the Jean Todt - Schumacher era of Ferrari.


It's tifoso or tifosa (female). Tifosi is plural.


Right! Time to go make a panini


Well said.


È vero! Grazie mille


Welcoming people in typical HN style


Let's add that to the words of wisdom.


>>I'm a tifosi.

Like one of those big banners they hold up at football (soccer) matches?


Tifosi is just Italian for "fans". In this context, it's fans of the Ferrari F1 team.


Those are called tifo. Tifosi are the people doing the holding.


Next up: learning effective radio communication from Ferrari F1 race engineers ;)


- Box now, box.

- S-stay out, stay out.


Must be the water.


No Kimi You will not have the drink.


I love finding this many knowers of F1 lore in a HN thread


Dov'è la gomma? :-)
