Just wheel off, wheel on.I've heard that Ferrari are cheating in that they take the wheels of the car, and then put the same ones back on again. This saves them fractions of a second compared to putting new wheels on, and gives them an unfair advantage.

Jabberwocky wrote:didn't ferrari come up with the swivel jack stand as well?Yeah, but Red Bull came up with the idea of throwing Eddie Jordan into a swimming pool. You've got to admit that for a young team, Red Bull come up with some really good ideas.
Is there a limit to the pressure the air guns can use?
