Williams F1 says the training company founded by the retired
400-meter Olympic champion will "provide an intensive training program for
the team's pit crew personnel as well as conducting an evaluation of the team's
training regime." Shaving even a tiny amount of time off a stay in the
pits can make a huge difference to a driver's race performance.
Johnson says he is "confident that the experience and
biomechanics expertise ... (can) cut hundredths and even tenths of a second
from their pit stop times." Michael Johnson Performance Inc. has already
worked with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and Major League Soccer's FC Dallas.
