When they stopped allowing refueling a few years back, they started talking about 2 second tire changes, and I thought "No way!"

With all that effort, one might think they could win a race... or even have a podium finish,

 
I was at the Inaugural Indianapolis Grand Prix F1 race some years back.

Sat right across from the Ferrari pits.

It was back when the engines still revved 18,000 RPM or so.

(They're unbelievable sounding in person!)

They would do a tire and fuel change in under the count of 7.

Then go SCREAMING out of the pits redlining every gear and upshifting at blinding speed!

Seeing those cars racing in person made me appreciate the skill it takes to handle one of them.
