pit strategy
Tire change timing
Pit strategy is the planned timing and sequence of pit stops during a motor race, balancing when to refuel, change tires, or make repairs against track position and competitor movements.
Teams calculate optimal windows based on tire degradation, fuel loads, and race conditions.
A good pit strategy can win races; a bad one squanders them: Their pit strategy fell apart when the safety car came out.
