'You could hear in his voice he was pushing, he was driving flat-out.'
Christian Horner has refuted suggestions Max Verstappen was irritated with Gianpiero Lambiase and his need for him to repeat instructions during the Spanish GP.
“I think the radio hasn’t been great this weekend, we had some issues,” he told the media including PlanetF1.com.“The guys were going flat-out and because we get the GPS data, as all the teams do of the other cars, we could see Lando wasn’t saving anything in Turn Three and Nine and the last two turns.“And he’s got such capacity in his driving, he knows the stint length and he knows what he needs to take out of the tyres, and that’s where he really is a masterclass.
“It’s how the relationship works,” Verstappen said last year of their at times testy conversations. “I would be very, not upset, but I wouldn’t want to have an engineer who is very monotone or just says ‘copy… check that’.“But that’s our relationship, we are very straightforward and if we don’t like something we of course communicate.“They don’t need to broadcast it – if you know what I mean. So, I guess they also like the excitement coming out.
