Experience Formula One Thrills at the ‘Pit Stop’ in the Mercedes-Benz Museum

Step into the world of Formula One at the Mercedes-Benz Museum’s “Pit Stop” station, where visitors can test their speed and precision with hands-on pit crew challenges and interactive exhibits.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum invites visitors to step into the thrilling world of Formula One with its interactive “Pit Stop” station in the Legends Room 7: Silver Arrows – Races & Records.

This hands-on experience challenges individuals and teams to perform ultra-fast, precision wheel changes using real Formula One tyres, mirroring the perfect choreography of professional pit crews.

A Formula One pit stop takes as little as 2.1 seconds, requiring seamless teamwork and mental agility. At the Pit Stop station, visitors can compete to match this speed, whether working solo or as part of a group. The excitement continues with additional features, including:

Pit Wall Command Post: Step into the strategist’s shoes, planning race strategies and reacting to dynamic race conditions via pit radio.
Reaction Wall: Hone decision-making skills and mental fitness with fast-paced challenges.

The experience is brought to life against a dramatic backdrop, featuring a vertically mounted Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance car from the 2021 Formula One season.

Visitors can also explore a display of authentic pit crew gear, including overalls, helmets, gloves, and shoes, symbolizing Mercedes-Benz’s dominance in Formula One, where the Silver Arrows have claimed eight constructors’ and seven drivers’ titles since 2010.

Located near the museum’s iconic racing curve, showcasing 130 years of motorsport history, the “Pit Stop” station is included in the standard ticket price and requires no pre-registration. It’s a must-visit for fans of speed, precision, and motorsport innovation.
