How do they determine that? I know it is a balance between speeds and stops. But these days when pit stops are under 5 seconds, how significant are the stops?

The actual pit stop is around 3 seconds. Pit entry and exit being limited to 80 kph (or even to 60 on some circuits) is what costs around 20 seconds (again, this varies by circuit).

The stop itself is only 2-3 seconds, but the total time loss is about 20 seconds because there is a speed limit in the pit lane.

Also, doing more pit stops means that you exit the pit lane behind the traffic, wnd you lose more time when overtaking.
