Afte𝓡r Hamilton claimed his first pole position for Ferrari in the China sprint race, fans were left baffled when new race engineer Riccardo Adami used a codeword to confirm the result.

The seven-time world champion pipped former F1 title rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to pole by just 0.018s as 💧he topped a qualifying session for the first time since making his blockbuster switch from Mercedes to Fer🃏rari.

Hamilton 🌠asked: “Where are we?”, to which Adami replied: “that’s San Diego.”

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

The exact meaning behind the phrase left many puzzled and it ꦆwas nꦫot addressed 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 anchormaไn for the fictional KV꧙WN channel 4 local television station based in San Diego.

“You stay classy, San Diego,” is the signature phrase used by Burgundy to sign o🦹ff his news b💟ulletins.

“ꦉThe ‘stay classy’ referenc💮e. It was an Anchorman reference,” Kravitz 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 reference to the pilgrimage of Sꩲantiago d🎃e Compostela, and how Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari were on some sort of pilgrimage together.

“It wasn’ℱt that! It turns out it was a Will Ferrell Anchorman refꦆerence.”

Lewis Hamilton’s sprint victory a ‘critical moment’

Hamilton went on to conv꧂ert the pole into a commanding victory in the Shanghai sprint race on Saturday morning.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton finished fifth and sixth in Sunday’s grand prix but were 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:both disqualified for separate technical infringements following post-race ch🍸ecks.

But Kravitz felt the significance of Hamilton’s breakthrough Ferrari win was overlooked ꧒during the wee🅺kend.

“I thought it was a critical moment,” Kravitz sa⭕id.

“You know how I like to o𒊎verplay things, but I thought it was a breakthrough, I really did.

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

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