Winning an F1 Championship requires more than clocking the fastest laps; It requires ”race craft,” which includes knowing when the racing line isn’t the key to victory. Today we're going to explain why the racing line isn't necessarily the best way to win a race.

I prefer Forza racing lines where you go for the line that rams your opponent with utmost efficiency.
"Winning isn't about following the racing line"
Hammond: "On Paper, this is the faster car."
When Senna first started racing in Europe, for an F3 team, a driver for the same team asked him how come, when it was raining, he drove in a different line than everyone else and still lapped at least one second faster than the rest.
Come and do some racing guys!
“Why Racing Line Doesn’t Win Races”
Max Verstappens Brazil race in the wet is one of the perfect examples of adapting to the track conditions and choosing a different racing line.
I’m an artist and and an ex-racer and the perfect racing line concept is similar to when you draw stylised humans/animals. You need to be very familiar with the anatomy before you can stylise convincingly. Same with racing. You still need to know the perfect racing line of by heart to be able to adjust yours intuitively according to external conditions. This is exactly why coaches are always teaching newbies about the racing line in detail at first.
Jerry: slower, but fast?
Lewis Nolanton's gonna haunt me in my dreams for a few months
After yesterday's crash this is very revealing.

"On a F1 track, most corners aren't simple arcs."
"Hamilton saves his tires"
this is quite funny after today

Day 7 of asking for an Up to Speed on how Donut Media came to be
I remember Michael Shumacher back in the day on a rainy GP, the rain broke with about 20 laps to go and many teams pulled into the pits to switch back to the dry tires but he stayed out and swerved to hit a few puddles on each lap to keep the rain tires cool enough to not degrade on the warming tarmac and finished on the rain tires (in first place). They were playing checkers, he was playing chess.
This is such a fantastic explanation of various complicated concepts for amateurs to understand easily. Love that you guys are covering F1!
My experience was amateur stock car at the local circuit for a few years. It was a quarter-mile oval but it was trickier than it looked and the line you took might depend on how hot it was that day. I did a lot of door handle to door handle racing with one guy in an eagle talon against my 4th gen Prelude. I could never pull ahead of him if he kept the inside line but if I waited behind him, I knew his car would push up to the wall toward the end of the race on his hot tires. Having a nice racing line is alright when you're not in a pack and you get the line you get. You just have to be a ruthless opportunist if you want to win and take things right to the knife edge of control and hold it there for the duration. There's a mental state and you have to be decisive on frighteningly short notice and make the right decisions more than wrong ones. Even so, you can be doing everything right and it can still all go pear-shaped. Then when you're rolled over and crashing with a dislocated limb and you realize you have absolutely nothing to say about what's happening, that's interesting.
