Formula 1, Sportrik Media - Scuderia Ferrari emerged as the most operationally efficient team of the 2025 Formula 1 season, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton topping the official “Total Stationary Pit Stop Time” statistics released by Formula 1 and DHL.
According to the cumulative data, Leclerc recorded the lowest total stationary time in the pit box across the entire campaign. From 36 pit stops, the Monegasque driver accumulated just 88.2 seconds of stationary time, making him the only driver to remain below the 90-second threshold over a full season. He finished ahead of Isack Hadjar from Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, who placed second with 92.75 seconds.
Hamilton, in his debut season with Ferrari, demonstrated exceptional consistency. Although his total stationary time ranked third at 95.16 seconds due to a higher number of stops (39), he achieved the fastest average pit stop time of the year.
Ferrari’s pit crew serviced Hamilton’s car at an average of 2.44 seconds per stop, marginally quicker than Leclerc’s 2.45-second average. By comparison, Hamilton’s former team-mate at Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, George Russell, recorded a 2.7-second average.
The figures also highlight a significant operational gap between teams. At the lower end of the rankings, outfits such as MoneyGram Haas F1 Team and Williams Racing struggled to match the execution standards of the front-runners.
Oliver Bearman of Haas accumulated 180.19 seconds of stationary time — more than double Leclerc’s total — with a comparatively slow 4.87-second average stop. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz, driving for Williams, posted an average of 4.37 seconds per stop.
Below is a summary of the key statistics based on official Formula 1/DHL data:
| Driver | Team | Total Stationary Time | Stops | Average Stop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charles Leclerc | Scuderia Ferrari | 88.2 seconds | 36 | 2.45 seconds |
| Isack Hadjar | Visa Cash App Racing Bulls | 92.75 seconds | - | - |
| Lewis Hamilton | Scuderia Ferrari | 95.16 seconds | 39 | 2.44 seconds |
| George Russell | Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team | - | - | 2.7 seconds |
| Oliver Bearman | MoneyGram Haas F1 Team | 180.19 seconds | - | 4.87 seconds |
| Carlos Sainz | Williams Racing | - | - | 4.37 seconds |
The data underlines that Ferrari’s competitive edge in 2025 was not solely derived from power unit performance or aerodynamic efficiency, but also from the precision and speed of its pit crew operations. In a championship increasingly defined by marginal gains, tenths of a second saved in the pit lane proved strategically decisive in the battle for positions and points.
