What’s Italian for ‘Hammer Time?’ Lewis Hamilton seeks new radio call
Lew♚is Hamilton says he will find a replacement for his famous 'Hammer Time' F1 radio ca🌊ll at Ferrari.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is considering an alternative to his famous “it’s Hammer Time” F1 radio call after joining Ferrari.
The radio message became 🎃an iconic part of Hamilton’s 12-season stint with Mercedes, and was a hurry-up call used by his former F1 race engineer Peter ‘Bono’ Bonningtoღn as part of their successful partnership.
But following his blockbuster transfer to Ferrari, where the seven-time world champion will be working with new race engineer Ricardo Adami, Hamilton is now see🌞king a new radio cal🦋l.
“I haven’t spoken to my engineer ♎about that,” Hamilton said.
“I don’t know how it would sound with an Italian accent, so I’ll have to find🐻 an Italian word, pr🍬obably. We’ll probably find something new.”
The Italian equivalent to 'Hammer Time’♒ is ‘Tempo di martello’ - which may be a bit of a mouthful for Adami.
Ham🌺ilton has been trying his best to learn as much Italian as possible to help speed up his adaptation with Ferrari.
“The effect is s𝄹lightly different and the names they have are different,” he said. ’Anti-roll bar’ is still ‘anti-roll bar’. Some of the other parts of the geometry,♛ there are different words for it.
“I’ve got it on my computer and I’m studying it each day and night to make sure I understa🌠nd when they talk about these different components. I’ve done 12 years in another place where we talked about the same thing all the time.
“So I was used to it, I knew exactly what they were meaning. “But every time they [Ferrari] mention [something] in a debri♕ef I’m like: ‘What part is this? Okay, it’s this part.’
“It’s part of the learning process and that’s what mak🧔es it exciting, because it’s all new.”
The origins of ‘It’s Hammer Time’
Hamilton previously explained the origi💫ns of the ‘it’s Hammer Time’ radio message.
It is a reference to the catch phrase in MC Hammer’s 1990 song “U Cꦜan’t Touch This”, combined with Hamilton’s three-letter designation ‘HAM’ used in F1.
"I think I came up with hammer time,” Hamilton said in 2022. “There was a point where he was like, ‘no༺w is the time to push,’ and I got frustrated with him because I was like, ‘dude, I’m already pushing!’
“But I wasꦓ like, if you're trying to signify now’s the time to go all out, use everything you have, I said just tell me it’s hammer time. That was part of our growth.
“I’m incredibly grateful for Bono, I’ve had an amazing jᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚourney w𒐪ith him. I think we’ve got one of the longest, if not the longest driver-engineer partnership that there’s been. He’s been hugely integral to my success.”
