Max Verstappen ranting on the team radio isn’t always a pretty sight, considering the Dutchman’s persistent use of swear words. Of course, one would agree that such harsh radio messages have scaled down in the last year or two. Nonetheless, the Red Bull star certainly hasn’t nullified this habit, as his team radio rantings still continue to make rare appearances during race weekends.

Quite recently, at the British Grand Prix, the chain of events that followed by running over debris triggered a Verstappen meltdown on Sunday. The 24-year-old sounded very upset on the team radio and visibly expressed his frustrations till the end of the race at Silverstone.

But who can blame him? The fact that he was struggling for pace while his title rival, Charles Leclerc, was pushing for his first race victory since Australia may have inflicted a bit of fear in the Dutchman.

Max Verstappen will continue to express frustrations on team radio

During the pre-race weekend interview in Spielberg, Verstappen opened up about his aggressive team radio episodes in the sport over the years. The Dutch hero further revealed why he wouldn’t want to stop doing that.

“I don’t think it helps the team if you come in really upset in a practice session or whatever because then everyone starts to be a bit nervous. And I think that doesn’t help the overall performance,” he said according to Express.

“Still, I sometimes get a bit upset on the radio. I don’t think it influences my performance. But it’s more about if things don’t go well, if something is badly executed or if I have a problem. And I think if the day comes that I’m not gonna be upset about these things anymore, then, I’m not interested in the sport anymore.
