Romain Grosjean may need to retake his theory test after making a balls of this pit stop

At least one member of his pit crew will certainly remember the Spanish Grand Prix.

WE DON’T KNOW exactly how much the front jackman in a Formula One pit crew is paid, but unless it has at least five zeros at the end, it’s probably not enough.

While it’s not the most difficult job in the world — you are, afterall, just hacking up the front of a car — you do have to put a lot of trust in your driver that he will stop on his mark.

So we can’t imagine this Lotus employee is too happy with Romain Grosjean after the French driver sent him flying down the pit lane, the jack hitting him — wrestling commentator voice — square in the mid-section. 

Remarkably, he got back to his feet to complete the stop and Grosjean finished eighth – and in the points.
