That's rubbish kimi used to much grass at Silverstone and his car was in bits

 

It more his Hamilton circa 2011 style driving that did kimi in using a Massa to make a turn :-)

 

This going to make life interesting:

This should make for even more coded messages:

Hamilton, "A cappuccino please."
Pit, "With or without sprinkles"
Hamilton,"6D, next Tuesday"

 

The radio chatter during the race is one of the more interesting things on the coverage.

But I'll reserve judgement until we see the results.

I'd imagine coded messages won't be allowed.

 

"danny boy calling broadsword"

 

 

Like in Italian?

Taken literally this could rule out just about anything. The team telling the driver when to pit is performance related; as is telling the driver when to push or the gaps to other cars. But it'd be a great shame if we lost the radio transmissions; that's made watching the races on TV more interesting. Wouldn't it be great if you could go back and watch classic races and hear what the likes of Senna and Prost were saying on the radio?

 

I'm looking forwrd to the pit boards saying: He's beeeehiiind youuu!

 

The drivers are still allowed to know the information on fuel, tyres and brakes I'm assuming, it can just no longer come from pit wall.

I'm assuming they are still allowed the beeps as they are automated.

So I have to wonder what's to stop them having a siri/Google now type system in the car that still tells the driver in a natural language manner rather than trying to read everything from a screen?

 

I've just a metal flash of the drivers TXT'ing during the race like the chavs do on the school run, or like cheating on quiz night.
