The meaning behind168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton’s ‘San Diego’ codeword at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix has been revealed.

After Hamilton claimed his first pole position for Ferr♛ari in the China sprint race, fans were left baffled when new race engineer Ricc😼ardo Adami used a codeword to confirm the result.

The seven-time world champion pipped former F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to pole by just 0.018s as he topped a qualif♔ying session for the first time since making his blockbuster switch from Mercedes to Ferrari.

Hamilton asked: “Where are we?”, to which Adami replied: “that’s San Di♊ego.”

A laughing Hamilton responded: "Really? Yes!", before Adami added: "Good 💞job in San Diego, San Diego!”

The exact meaning behind the phrase leftﷺ many puzzled and it was not a♌ddressed over the remainder of the Chinese Grand Prix weekend.

However, Sky Sports F1’s pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz has revealed that it was a reference from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Ron Burgundy 🤪(played by Will Ferrell) is the anchorman for the fictional KVWN channel 4 local television station based in San Diego.

“You stay classy, San Diego,” is the signature phrase used by Burgundy to sign off 🐽his news bulletins.

“The ‘stay classy’ reference. It was an Anchorman reference,”😼 Kr💃avitz explained on the F1 Show.

“It wasn’t to do with the pilgrimage, as Kamal the German Sky Sports monitor man, who thought Santiago was a referencꩵe to the pilgri🍌mage of Santiago de Compostela, and how Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari were on some sort of pilgrimage together.

“It wasn’t that! It 🦹turns out it w🔯as a Will Ferrell Anchorman reference.”

Lewis Hamilton’s sprint victory a ‘critical moment’

Hamilton went on to convert the pole into a commanding victory in the Shang🌌hai sprint race on Saturday🀅 morning.

Ferrari’s weekend went downhill from there, with t♓he team strug𓂃gling to replicate their previous competitiveness in regular grand prix qualifying.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton finished fifth and sixth in Sunday’s grand prix but were 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:both disqualified for se🧸pꩲarate technical infringements following post-race checks.

But Kravitz felt the significance of Hamilt♈on’s breakthrough Ferrari win was overlooked during the weekend.

“I thought itꦬ was a critical 𒅌moment,” Kravitz said.

“You know how I like to overpဣlay things, but I thought it was a bre💮akthrough, I really did.

“I thought it was a very significant moment and in a way I don’t like all this ‘it’s onl🍌y a sprint race’, a♛nd his celebrations were a bit muted as well weren’t they.

“I was like ‘come onꦬ!’ I know it’s just a sprint race but buy into it! It’s an important moment.”
