Racing affect in motorsport at a braking point

Hi,

This question has been bugging me recently... What is the name of the effect when racing cars get closer together at a braking point and then after the braking point they start to spread out (due to the driver in front being able to accelerate first etc)... I'm sure i've heard it used in the f1 commentary in the past!

Thanks
