The undercut is where you gain an advantage on the driver ahead by pitting before him and then maximising your new tyre out-lap, going faster than he can go on his old-tyred in-lap.

F1 is a super strategic sport that manages decisions to gain thousands of a second. You need to remember that the other team is looking for their advantage also and may be attempting to gain on you with an overcut.
