I would read the Williams article as saying it adds 21.8 seconds in total to the lap time so this is going through the wiggly bits at the entrance to the pit lane, slowing down to the speed limit, fueling, accelerating back up to the speed limit after the stop and then getting back to full speed again once back on the track. The only way to really know the cost would be to look at the lap times for some of the cars 2 laps before pitting and then an average of the of their pitstop lap and the first lap back as the time is lost over two laps rather than just one (I think) as they break the timing beam in the pit lane.Anyone have access to the individual lap times for each driver at Silverstone?
