Memorable meltdowns and temper tantrums: Five drivers who lost their cool on team radioIn recent years, half the fun of a Grand Prix comes from hearing drivers getting on the team radio to vent their frustrations as things go against them on track.
Team boss Franz Tost would go on to say how Tsunoda’s biggest weakness was his inability to control his temper over team radio, with the now considerably calmer AlphaTauri driver admitting he had to address his temper to start improving. While there had been plenty of sardonic and shouty moments from Raikkonen over his two decades in the sport, it’s perhaps the 2013 Indian Grand Prix that was one of Raikkonen’s more serious radio messages, given that there was no amusing humour or light-heartedness behind the incident.
There was also the time when Raikkonen appeared to threaten Sergio Perez after being hit by the then-McLaren driver into the chicane at Monaco: “That f**king idiot. I wanna hit him when I see him, for sure. He hit me now on the rear.” “Ahhh no power, f**k!” Verstappen shouted down the radio as he tried to pick his way through the opening corners without incident. But, with the field swarming around him, Verstappen was hit by Pierre Gasly and he spun off into the gravel to retire from the race.
Verstappen would indeed encounter Ocon at the FIA weighbridge, squaring up to the French driver and pushing him twice as he wasn’t happy with Ocon’s attitude to the collision. The stewards at the weighbridge intervened to calm the situation, with Verstappen summoned before the stewards after escalating the situation to a physical confrontation.
The timing of Kvyat’s mistakes couldn’t have been much worse – just two weeks after Vettel had a very public go at the Russian driver in the cooldown room at the Chinese Grand Prix. While both finished on the podium, an innocuous “What happened at the start” from Kvyat resulted in Vettel rounding on him to exclaim “you!” before admonishing the Red Bull driver as Kvyat attempted to protest his innocence.
Attempting a move on Verstappen into Turn 1, the Dutch driver locked up and sailed across the grass and maintained position ahead of the Ferrari driver. Upon being told that Verstappen had been told to move aside, Vettel found himself having to defend against Ricciardo and said: “He is athat’s what he is. I mean am I the only one or are you not seeing what I’m seeing? He’s just backing me off into Ricciardo. F**k me.”
While Vettel may have had a point regarding how the situation on track was handled, his conduct could have resulted in a very serious investigation before an FIA tribunal. However, the situation didn’t need to escalate much, as the German driver showed his class by immediately seeking to make amends towards the people he had blasted over team radio.
