Transcript of McLaren's Aussie radio transmission

Friday 3rd April 2009

The FIA have released transcript the radio transmission that took place between Lewis Hamilton and his McLaren pitwall in the wake of Thursday's decision to exclude the Brit and his team from the Aussie GP results.

McLaren pitwall: OK Lewis, you should need to make sure your delta is positive over the safety car line. After the safety car line the delta doesn't matter but no overtaking. No overtaking.

Hamilton: The Toyota went off in a line at the second corner, ..., is this OK?

McLaren pitwall: Understood, Lewis. We'll confirm and get back to you.

Hamilton: He was off the track. He went wide.

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

Hamilton: Okay.

Hamilton: He's slowed right down in front of me.

McLaren pitwall: OK, Lewis. Stay ahead for the time being. Stay ahead. We will get back to you. We are talking to Charlie.

Hamilton: I let him past already.

McLaren pitwall: Okay, Lewis. That's fine. That's fine. Hold position. Hold position.

Hamilton: Tell Charlie I already overtook him. I just let him past.

McLaren pitwall: I understand Lewis. We are checking. Now can we go to yellow G 5, yellow Golf 5.

Hamilton: I don't have to let him past I should be able to take that position back, if he made a mistake.

McLaren pitwall: Yes, we understand Lewis. Let's just do it by the book. We are asking Charlie now. You are in P4. If you hold this position. Just keep it together.

McLaren pitwall: OK Lewis, your KERS is full, your KERS is full. Just be aware. You can go back to black F2, black Foxtrot 2.

Hamilton: Any news from Charlie whether I can take it back or not.

McLaren pitwall: Still waiting on a response Lewis, still waiting.

McLaren pitwall: Lewis, work on your brakes please. Front brakes are cold.

McLaren pitwall: If we are able to use one KERS that would be good. If you deploy KERS please do so now.

McLaren pitwall: OK, Lewis, this is the last lap of the race. At the end of the lap the safety car will come in, you just proceed over the line without overtaking, without overtaking. We are looking into the Trulli thing, but just hold position.
