Lewis Hamilton has explained the origins of the “it’s hammer time” radio call given by his Mercedes F1 engineer
in 2013, with one of the hallmarks of their time together being Bonnington’s call of “it’s hammer time” to Hamilton over the radio.
Bonnington recently gave Hamilton the call in the United States Grand Prix when he was pushing to fightfor victory, with Hamilton noting in Mexico that it “felt like it had been at least a year” since the last time he heard it. “But I was 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.
Hamilton and Bonnington have formed statistically the most successful driver-engineer partnership in F1 history, yielding six of Hamilton’s seven world titles as well as 82 of his 103 grand prix victories.
