Overtakes
On-track passes and genuine undercuts (the two cars were actually racing, under 3s, before the stop) -- an opportunistic gap from a rival's pit stop or retirement doesn't count here (see that driver's own page for those)
Counted from lap-by-lap track position, not the final classified result -- for a driver who retires, those two can genuinely disagree (classification depends on laps completed, not where they were running when they stopped).
Undercut window
Gap to the rival at the moment of the stop, and whether the move actually worked
When it didn't: 0.8s. For reference, a green-flag stop cost this race about 23.7s against a rival who kept racing.
