F1 25 - How to master your pit stop window

Yo, everyone. Today I'm going to teach you how I used to perfect my pit stop window in F1 sim racing using F1 2025 to illustrate my examples. So, a pit stop window I would define it as the inlap, the pit stop itself, and the outlap as well. All have unique traits that you need to maximize along the way. So, the video format today will just be me showing my inlap, talking about the areas I'll try to maximize, the pit stop itself, and also the outlap and how I'll try to maximize that for the maximum performance advantage as well. So, with that being said, let's get straight into the heart of the video. So, here we are on the inlap here at Xanort. The reason I picked Xand for today's video is the pit entry and exit is one of the most difficult on the whole F1 calendar. I'm going to be pausing the video periodically during this lap as well, just so I can go into detail about exactly the thought processes I have and exactly what I'm trying to do. So, with that being said, let's pause the video so I can just go into detail and fully focus on explaining the processes that I do. So, with that being said, the first step of mastering the inlap here with your pit stop window is understanding the objective and what you want to get out of it. For example, if you want to try and overcut someone, then you understand the objective and you work with the step to try and maximize the possibility of that goal target actually coming into a reality. If you want to get closer to someone so you could possibly undercut them on the following lap, then again, that's another situation that you can understand the steps necessary to work closer towards your goal and target. It's true in racing and it's also true in life. If you have a plan of action and you understand the target that you want to achieve, you can start formatting a plan to try and maximize the likelihood of that coming into actually fruition and coming into reality. So with that being said, as soon as you enter the inlap, be thinking on what you actually want to achieve from that situation and understand what you need to be doing with the crucial steps to make it happen. The second step that I actually see people doing, to be honest, I used to do a lot as well, is I would over push and overdrive on the inlap as well. Again, we're going to make another pause right here. So, when I used to think about an inlap, I used to think of, you know, uh, all right, Lewis, it's hammer time.
