Mark Webber’s Parliament Square F1 Pit Stop

F1_Pit_Stop_Blog

So there I was minding my own outside the British seat of power, when I heard the distant but unmistakable roar of a Formula One motor. No? It can’t be! Holy crap I thought, and turned on my camera and there it was coming to a pit stop right on Parliament Square – The Red Bull F1 car driven by Mark Webber. WTF!? Since when have the streets of London been a race track? This isn’t Monaco. And then like that it was gone.

    They did similar in New York I think it was 2 years ago. They had Brian Vickers’ car in Times Square, he came barreling down the ave and they did a full 4 tire race scenario pit stop right there. It was the last year NASCAR held their banquet there.
