Formula 1 Pit Stops 1950 Versus Today.....

I just watched the movie "Rush" from 2013 (not sure how I missed this one when it came out) and noticed the same thing from the mid-70s pit stops being way too long.

"Rush" focuses on the rivalry between Nikki Lauda and James Hunt primarily during the 1976 Formula One championship year when Lauda was badly burned after a crash at Nurburgring in Germany and came back to race after missing 6 weeks of racing. Despite missing so many races and withdrawing early from the final race of the season in Japan, he only lost to Hunt by 1 point on the season.

I am not a follower of Formula One; but I thought this was a very good racing movie.
