Max has been taking some flak for his comments to the team after his
incident with Stroll. Whilst I donrCOt excuse his remarks (F1 is supposed to
be a rCLfamily showrCY after all) l do think that drivers should be free to communicate with their teams in frank terms without their comments - which
are usually made in the heat of the moment when the adrenaline is flowing - being broadcast to the world.

Personally I donrCOt think that car to pit conversations add much to our enjoyment of the race anyway.

I don't see any reason to drop them.

Max is not responsible for his comments being broadcast. I haven't
heard the comments but if they were offensive then the broadcasters
need to be taken to task not Max.

The explicit words were beeped out. What we hear is always a few seconds
to minutes old.

Apart from informing us of what is happening, and an occasional bit of gamesmanship, it also shows what an unpleasant little twerp some of the drivers can turn into when under stress (true character ?).

I don't think it necessarily shows a driver as a twerp. These guys are
at a level of concentration, determination and sheer passion that the
rest of us can only imagine; flying off the handle when something goes
wrong is not really surprising. I generally judge their character by
how they behave after the race when they have had time to calm down
and look at it less passionately

It's all in the edit.

Some drivers like to vent, others don't feel the need.

I'm not really into bashing drivers.
