It is almost reminiscent of last year's dramatic pit stops at the Sakhir Grand Prix. The Mercedes pit crew had major problems during Valtteri Bottas' pit stop when the right front wheel wouldn't come off.

Bottas comes in for his second pit stop of the day when things go wrong. The Finn gets a new set of tyres, but things go wrong at the front right. Even before the wheel is changed the lollipop man puts the car back on the ground. He immediately has to go up again to change the wheel.
