• Can someone explain when undercut vs overcut is the better call?

    Just got into F1 and I'm confused โ€” can someone explain when undercut vs overcut is the better choice? The strategy call today made no sense to me

    It looked like they went overcut, but the commentator said the undercut window was open too. Why choose overcut?

    Is it remaining tyre life? Competitor positions? First season watching, still learning a lot โ€” any veterans willing to explain?

  • Undercut vs overcut is one of the best strategy concepts to understand because it's intuitive once you get it. You're asking good questions.

  • ok I think I got it after reading this three times. The undercut uses a pit stop to gain track position. The overcut stays out and hopes fresher tires from a later stop are faster. Right?
