Explain F1 Tyre Strategy and Pit Stop Timing to a New Fan
You enjoy the racing but the pit-stop calls feel like a code you were never given. This walks you through tyre wear, the undercut, the overcut and why a team pits a leader who looks fine. Hand it the race you watched and it explains the strategy layer in plain language, no diagrams required.
