nospamAnd then all the driver has to do is drive it flat out? But what happens if he decides that the way the car is handling does not suit his driving style? Does he come back to the pits and say "The way the car is handling does not suit my driving style"? What does the pit crew do then? Do they take the car for a drive at racing speeds in an attempt to discover what the driver was talking about?

That's your definition. Who is it then that adjusts wheel alignment settings, suspension settings, wings, tire pressure adjustment etc ..
mechanics.
Actually, the pit crew is a team of specialists. Generally, when we use the word "mechanic", we are referring to a person who works on or repairs the drive train of a vehicle...engine and transmission. The pit crew people specialize in adjustments to the vehicle, fueling, and tire changing. While they probably have some mechanical skills, the real "mechanics" are back in the garage. I doubt if any race driver refers to his pit crew as his "mechanics".
unimportant distinction.
Is it?
yesTony Coopernospam
So you would take your car to the Tire R Us shop to have your transmission repaired because you see no distinction between a guy who changes tires and a real mechanic?
completely unrelated to the described scenario.nospamthe point is that it's not the driver who does it.Tony Cooper
No, the point is that the pit crew are not mechanics. I just made that point.
no, the point is that the driver doesn't need to know the details of how to fix/tune the car. if the pit crew can't do it, they get someone who can. as you say, it's a team.
