Red Bull's accidental comedy routine

[Alianora La Canta]

Radio from Q1, paraphrased for concision:

Verstappen: [indistinct query]
Lambiase: "What are you worried about?"
Verstappen: "The…" [response drowned out by Perez crashing]
Lambiase: "If it's the rain, you can come back in…" [red flag, camera still looking at Perez who was going to need a scooter to comply]

Had that been a deliberate comedy skit, it could not have been better timed. Unfortunate for the team, though - those were tricky conditions and there were a couple of times it looked like Verstappen could join Perez in the "hit the wall" club (but gathered it up without leaving the track).

After the weekend, I'm wondering if the sport is well served by having the radio communications public!

I did enjoy Brundle's comment about radio communication in his day, and he pointed out that for half his career there was no radio.
