Lollipop

Lollipop is a sign on a long stick which is held in front of the driver while pitting. This will inform the driver to apply the brakes and shift to first gear before the jack is lowered.
== Incidents ==
* At the 2002 Spanish Grand Prix Juan Pablo Montoya made his planned stop, with chief mechanic and lollipop man Carl Gaden signalling for the Colombian to go, only to belatedly realise that the #6 Williams was still being refuelled. Montoya reacted quickly having initially gone to launch away, only to stop right on Gaden's foot as the rest of the pitcrew were bowled over. Fortunately there were no major injuries or issues, with Montoya released after only a few seconds of delay.
