Wouldn't be a surprise if the Ferrari "plan" letters A, B, C, D and E stand for the first letter of a dedicated Italian word. Easier to remember for team and drivers and no other team has a clue (except if they start to pay closer attention, notice a pattern and crack the code). Easier than to remember all sorts of changing strategies per race which may confuse drivers during the race.
Imagine for example (just random guessing): - "A" for "Alternativa" ("alternative" = invert track position with team mate) or Anteriore" ("before" = short stint with early pit stop)
- "B" for "Breve" (brief = only 1 pit stop) or "Bi" ("double" = double pit stop)
- "C" for "Cambio" ("change" = invert track position with team mate / pit stop soon)
- "D" for "Doppio" ("double" = double pitstop) or "Difesa" ("defense" = hold position or back up the cars behind)
- "E" for "Eccesso" ("excess" = long stint with late pitstop)
Keep an eye on what happens after hearing "plan" instructions to Ferrari drivers.

Vettel drove like a madman and he showed with his finger to his head that it was so.
