Re the botched Ferrari stop at the Dutch GP - each of the 4 wheel gun men has a man standing on either side of himself of course (1 to remove the old wheel and another man to fit the new one).point throughout until the car arrives there considered an imperative?
And one of those men wasn't there of course - but that only seemed to become apparent to his wheel gun man once he was needed to fit the new tyre.
So as the cars trundle slowly into view at the top of the pits, the 4 wheel gun men don't just quickly check either side of themselves? (In case a man is missing and they can raise the alarm quicker) - or is just gazing straight ahead at the stopping
(We've probably all done it - I was a cop and at the police academy we had an early morning big inspection arranged on the parade ground. There were about 18 of us in my class and we spent around 1/2 hour standing around inspecting each other makingany last needed polishing etc. It was only when we formed up into ranks that we noticed a gap - one of us was missing - somehow none of us had noticed before. Turned out he was still in bed oblivious - the parade sergeant wasn't impressed).

I don't think anyone had gone AWOL; the tyre had.

"I don't think anyone had gone AWOL; the tyre had."
"Who is to say he didn't raise the alarm?"
See the video here though, both the tyre and the man with it are not there. And the wheel gun man just waits until the tyre comes, he doesn't seem to signal anything at any point.
Very poor.
