F1 Flashback - Hamilton's five-wheel India pit stop

It's not every day that you see a steering wheel change in Formula 1, let alone in less than five seconds. That is exactly what happened at last year's Indian Grand Prix - which joined the calendar in 2011.

Hamilton was reporting a technical issue during his first stint and with a one-stop strategy race; his McLaren mechanics had just one chance to change his steering wheel. Unbelievably, they managed to change all five wheels in just 3.3 seconds - nice work!
