SAY WHAT?! Russell's frustration, crashes galore and Verstappen's record reaction in the best team radio from the Netherlands
The Dutch Grand Prix weekend was action-packed from the get go, with crashes galore even before the weather intervened. The orange-clad army of Max Verstappen supporters got what they wanted on Sunday as the Red Bull man swept to victory, but that didn’t tell the whole story – as the airwaves could attest…
Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen were forced to explain their spins in practice, both managing to wipe out a newly upgraded front wing. Oscar Piastri’s crash in FP2 had disastrous consequences for the unlucky Daniel Ricciardo, while come qualifying, there was plenty of stress down at Ferrari.
Charles Leclerc was struggling to keep his car on track, Logan Sargeant’s emotions went from overjoyed at making Q3 to devastated at crashing, but team mate Alex Albon brought Williams some much needed excitement with his fantastic grid slot.
Roll on the race and there was angst aplenty from drivers who made the wrong strategy call, including George Russell who couldn’t understand how his race had unravelled so fast. For all of those and more, hit play on the video above to listen to the best team radio from Zandvoort.
