A mechanic for a race car team is working on the wheels of a race car.
The car took a pit stop with just a few laps to go.
Just because a mechanic is working on a car does not mean the car took a pit stop.
Working on the wheels of a race car doesn't imply that the car took a pit stop and just a few laps to go.
WE have no idea there are just a few laps to go, the race could have just started.
