Okay, so can someone explain this to me? When you undercut someone and you gain some time before they pit, wouldn't they have that advantage back in 20 laps once your tires are fucked and theirs are still holding on by a little?

One thing you forgot to mention is that communications between Pitwall and drivers are open to every team meaning that everyone can hear them. Makes strategy more interesting since anyone can bluff or adjust strategy based on what drivers/pitwall are saying!

You forgot to mention that some drivers get better in the rain. Like Schumacher and Verstappen. Their confidence in the rain goes up instead of down and allows them to overtake countless others. Like Max's Brazil race in 2016 and again in 2024 showed, a team that is onboard with a driver enjoying the rain can make all the difference.

Re: weather strategy, in spite of all the radar and sensors, at the end of the day, you're still gonna see a line of engineers with their hands out behind them along the pit wall whenever it's thinking about raining. Incredibly funny every time.
