Red Bull F1 makes pit stop in front of Houses of Parliament [video]

Red Bull says its pit crews need all the practice they can get

One week before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, F1 driver Mark Webber of Red Bull made a quick pit-stop in Westminster.

The Red Bull Racing Team's F1 car made an appearance before the gates of the Houses of Parliament in London. In Parliament Square, the Red Bull pit crew performed a 3.2 second pit-stop before a crowd of stunned onlookers.

Webber, an Australian driver for Red Bull, will be back after a spectacular crash at the European Grand Prix race in Valencia, Spain at the end of June which he fortunately escaped with only minor injuries.

Red Bull staged the event in order to promote the F1 team as well as give its pit crew some additional practice under difficult conditions.

First with the NASCAR in NY, and now F1 in London. All we need is an engine/trani change in WRC. RB is very creative with its marketing, I like it very much.

It's not everyday you see an F1 car crusing around in London. Btw, aren't you meant to be in Goodwood, MW?

In the current season of F1, Mercedes GP is the fastest pit crew (so far). As for times, I can't say.
