2012 Korean Grand Prix tyre strategies and pit stops | 2012 Korean Grand Prix

McLaren may not be screwing their cars together very well at the moment but when it comes to pit stops there's none faster.

Korean Grand Prix tyre strategies

The tyre strategies for each driver:

Two pit stops were the preferred strategy for most drivers. Lewis Hamilton, struggling with a broken rear anti-roll bar, couldn't make his tyres last in the second stint and was the only driver to make three visits to the pits.

There were two drivers who finished the race with a single pit stop: Pastor Maldonado and Narain Karthikeyan.

Maldonado finished ahead of his two-stopping team mate: 'At the beginning of the race, we were too hard on the front tyres which meant that we couldn't go as fast as we would have liked,' he said. 'After the pit stop things were better and we were able to do 30 laps on that set of tyres.'

How long each driver's pit stops took:

Korea was the seventh time in the last nine races McLaren produced the quickest pit stop. Only Red Bull are up with them on sheer speed at the moment, and they were more consistent in this race too.
