A contraction of ‘Bóxenstopp’, or ‘pit stop’ in German.
When a driver extends their tyre strategy, pitting later to try and overtake one or more drivers after they have eventually pitted – the opposite of ‘undercut’.When a car’s rear end is unsettled on corner entry or too sensitive to steering input, the rear may try to ‘overtake’ the front of the car when the driver turns, causing the car to skid – requiring the driver to use opposite lock, turning the steering wheel the other way, to fix.
