McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton lost some precious time - and points - because of bad pitstops during the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Twice Hamilton stormed into the pits, twice the left rear gun man struggled his his task.
Almost alarming, considering Jenson Button, a week earlier, lost a shot at victory during the Chinese Grand Prix in the pits.
"I have no idea what went on but I was hoping the second time I came I wouldn't have that problem," Hamilton says on AUTOSPORT.com.
"I was hoping that it would be a good pit stop but it was exactly the same, if not a little bit longer, than the previous one."
The responsible mechanic was relieved from his role for the third stop, and a investigation will be carried out by McLaren, team principal Martin Whitmarsh said.
