Radio Ga Ga

Malaysia, Friday. In order to try and avoid any further unpleasantness regarding what they do (or don’t say) over the pit to car radio, McLaren tried out a new coded system during practice today and GPD can bring you an excerpt of (might) have been said (or not):

Team: OK Lewis, you need to make sure your delta is positive over the angular green plus four. I repeat, green plus four over the angular three.

Lewis Hamilton: Er…ok, shall I pit now or next lap?

Team: Roger, Lewis. We’ll confirm and get back to you. Go to setting custard four and remember the hundreds and thousands. KERS is charged.

LH: Righto, so I’ll come in next time round only I’m getting a bit low on fuel here.

Team: Lewis, you need to allow the Toyota through. Allow the Toyota through now.

LH: What Toyota?

Team: Sorry, our mistake. Brakes are getting cold. You need to go to yellow G 5, yellow Golf 5, where X equals Y over the integer four.

LH: I’m losing power! I’m losing power – what shall I do – pull over?

Team: OK, Lewis. That’s fine. That’s fine. Hold position. Hold position. Omega quadrant three-zero applies. Setting Tango Lite. Tango Lite.

LH: That’s it, I’m getting out of the car, thanks guys.

Team: Blippety bop, Fooble-dooble.
