Max Verstappen’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase found himself on the receiving end of his driver’s annoyance during the US GP.
“Aww mate, the brakes are so s**t compared to yesterday!” Verstappen shouted on team radio. “What a piece of s**t!” With Hamilton closing down the gap in the closing stages, and the pressure mounting on Verstappen, Lambiase tried to keep his driver informed by saying: “Same pace as Hamilton.” But, on this occasion, Verstappen’s annoyed pleas for silence – and the tone with which he said them – were justified, according to some racing drivers.
With former NASCAR and IndyCar racer Danica Patrick saying, “It’s not hard for them to look at where the straights are, and speak on them,”, Button replied, “They’re long enough, aren’t they?”Three-time W Series Champion and current IndyNXT racer Jamie Chadwick opened up on how hearing your race engineer speaking at a moment they aren’t expected can distract a driver.“So it really throws you off basically, because you’re usually used to being spoken to in the same places.
