At the German Grand Prix yesterday, McLaren pulled off the fastest pit stop in competition history, swapping the four tires on Jenson Button's car in just 2.31 seconds. Button didn't lose a single place on the grid. To put the stop (measured when the car is at a complete standstill) in context, most of the pit stops in the German Grand Prix were over a second slower than McLaren's fastest, and most four-tire-changing stops in Nascar are around ten seconds slower.
Video is at the link, not on youtube currently.

It's pretty amazing to watch 15 or 16 guys to change 4 tires. 3 on each corner, jack man in the front with a backup jack man behind him. Not sure if the rear jack guy has a backup.
