Box

"Box" is the radio call telling a driver to pit at the end of the current lap.

Also called box box box

From the German Boxenstopp — the pit garages are the boxes. It is repeated because radio over a screaming engine is unreliable, and mishearing it costs a race either way.

Teams sometimes use it as a decoy on an open channel, calling a driver in and leaving them out to bait a rival into reacting.
