F1 Explained: What does Out Lap, Hot Lap, and In Lap mean?
During an F1 race weekend, commentators often mention terms such as out-lap, hot lap, and in-lap. An out-lap is the initial lap a driver takes after leaving the pit lane.

These terms are crucial to understanding a driver’s strategy and performance during a race weekend.
