F1 in Imola reminds us it’s about strategy as much as a fast car

On Sunday, the Red Bill and Ferrari brought smiles for the teams. In the hands of Virtanopin, the Red Bill was as sharp as black and orange MacLaurins, and the second could do the best to qualify the best versatopian, but the difference in McLaren’s Oscar was measured in a hundred parts of a second.

The initial start of the Virtteopian line looked unimportant, with George Russell’s Mercedes also felt a threat to the pole man. But Virtan saw an opportunity and revolved around the outside before the PEST registration, until he was there, he took the race. Once the Red Bill driver was in a clean air, he managed to extend the space to the point.

Having a past is notorious in Amola. In a 2005 classic, Fernando Alonsoo stopped Michael Schumacher’s very fast car for the entire race. Although the cars are now big and heavy and more closely matching, overtaking, like Norris being with Russell, was still possible.

Under -cut? Overcut?

But when overtaking is as difficult as it is on track, teams will try to use strategies to pass each other with pit stops. Each driver has to stop at least one pit, as drivers need to use two different tire compounds during the race. But depending on other factors, such as how low the tire is, a team can decide to do two or even three stops. The lap lost in the pit can be less than the waste of rubber detection more times.

In recent years, the word “undercut” has joined the F -One Vocabon, and no, it does not refer to the favorite hairstyles of drivers who are more flawed in the pedestrian. Reducing a competitor means keeping your pit in front of them and then, on the fresh tires and with a clear track, apply a sharp lap after a sharp lap so that when your rival stops, they emerge from the pitbers behind you.
