What is it: Blistering is when the temperature imbalance between a tyre’s hot carcass (the inner bit) and cold surface (the outer bit) cause pieces of rubber to explode out of the tyre, leaving a hole. Not to be confused with: Anything involving the gluteus maximus. Use it in a sentence: “The car had a good balance, although on my qualifying lap, it was bottoming and I lost some time” The act of bottoming was made more spectacular, if you’ll pardon the expression, by the introduction of titanium skid blocks in 2015, which throw off a shower of sparks when the cars’ undersides hit the deck. It’s usually caused by bumps in the track or a sudden rise or crest, à la Eau Rouge. What is it: Quite simply, it’s when the underside of the car hits the track. Not to be confused with: A gastric problem.

Running onto them mid-race can be treacherous as they prevent the tyre making proper contact with the road, thereby reducing grip. What are they: Small pieces of rubber that are shredded from the tyres during cornering, which build up off the racing line. Not to be confused with: A haircut popular with hipsters the world over. Use it in a sentence: “He’s going to try to use the undercut to get ahead” What is it: When a driver, struggling to get past another car, pits early in a bid to get a performance advantage from fresh tyres that will hopefully put them ahead when their rival then pits. So to help new fans get themselves up to speed, we decided to produce a guide to some of the most commonly used pieces of F1 slang, and what they mean – and here it is!
