(GMM) TV-land may be enjoying the in-car radio feature, but you won't hear a single word from the cockpit of a McLaren or Ferrari.
Woking chief Ron Dennis said in Bahrain that his MP4-20 cars are fitted with an anti-spy 'military standard' encryption system, according to British F1 broadcaster ITV.
''The most advanced of its kind,'' F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz revealed in a column.
The problem, he explained - at least for McLaren - is that the 'complicated' system is prone to failure.
Kimi Raikkonen discovered that at Sakhir -- and, consequently, nearly ran dry.
''I didn't get an answer to one question,'' the Finn said, ''and then the radio didn't work at all so I was close to running out of petrol.
''But luckily I saw the pit board and came in.''
