I expect it's just down to the idle rpm as they're always quite high with f1 cars..
Lewis soon to reunited with his Fia trophy , should be an uplifting moment, hope its on camera.

Jenson Button to race for Jota Porsche at age of 44 in World Endurance Championship.
Would be great if he could add an overall Le Mans win to his ledger

Probably about as long as it took Sir Lewis to say "Bono, my tyres have gone" this year

It certainly seems to happen like that
I really can't decide if the constant moaning on the radio helps him, or if he'd be even faster if he just shut the **** up and drove the God damned car...
Soldato
Part of me thinks he has a code he uses with Bono to put other teams off.

I just think we're hearing more radio messages these days than we used to...

I think I preferred it when we didn't - I'm sure other drivers in the past were exactly the same but we just never heard it

I agree for the reasons that some form very judgemental opinions from them.
Drivers have always complained about the tyres.

Should take the radio comms off them entirely, go back to pit boards

I didn't thing we were talking about stopping the radio traffic, just the broadcasting of it. But I guess, for some, it adds to their agenda and opinions of the drivers because they don't understand. For me I can take it or leave it.Should take the radio comms off them entirely, go back to pit boards

They play the radio call to liven it up a little. I'd far rather they went back to the old way of just playing a very select few, if it was completely relevant to the racing.
Unfortunately, more radio calls and anything for extra "spiciness" is the way it will go. We need American Joe Bloggs to be invested! And they certainly wont be with just "normal" F1.

Saves them from having to fix the fundamental wrongs of the car construction rules I guess.

Hopefully the next cars will be even bigger! This would allow for more radio equipment to be housed in there. Maybe have a little emoji keyboard that the driver has to press at least once every lap, so we can track our favourite driver's feelings?
