Game Mechanics- Pit crew placement/Pit-crew slowdown of vehicle

Currently when out of fuel and trying to get into pits there is a high chance of hitting pit crew on some maps; when out of fuel it is near on impossible to get into some spots and is very hard overall. I think placing the pit crew in a line out of the way & then they run around the car (similar to real life) would solve this issue without becoming a major annoyance to the player.

Please find image attatched of me trying to make a pit-stop when out of fuel and also a real-life image of pit crew screenshot from a f1 pit-stop world record that I captured.

Here is an example of real life pit-crew, waiting safely out of the way with only the cars teams waiting ready to service.

Alternatively forcing a minimum spacing between pit-crews in map editor could also solve this issue
