That's what I thought he meant as well. I can see a number of things being said in the heat of the moment that would never be said directly to that team or any other.

One of the many things that popped into my head (along with the one Gary posted)
"Leave them alone, they can't do &%@$."

I would never say this to anyone (even on my own team) off the playing field, but I can imagine myself saying it to my drivers or other drivers while coaching if they were playing defense on a robot that was not the top priority. If I tried to think of a way to say this in GP terms the match might be over by the time I said another word.
