Following his lights-to-flag domination in Barcelona, Lewis Hamiklton came in for a certain amount of criticism for his "tetchy" attitude over the team radio.
Having effectively told his race engineer not to talk to him when he was busy, and now under pressure from teammate Nico Rosberg, Hamilton subsequently snapped: "Where have you been the last few laps?"
"Just letting you get through the traffic," came the reply.
When told that the team intended adjusting his front wing (by three turns) during his next pit stop, Hamilton hit back: "No, not three, why are you doing that? I want the normal two."
"How was last lap? Was it too slow?" the Briton subsequently enquired.
"No, pace was good at the end of the stint," was the response.
"Then why did you bring me in?" demanded Hamilton
"We are keeping you on the optimum strategy. Gap to Nico four seconds."
"It used to be 5.2!"
Following his (slow) final pit stop and still concerned at Rosberg's pace, Hamilton was on the radio again. "How much time did I lose in the pit-stop?" he asked
"Nico lost more in traffic, don't worry about that now," was the reply.
However, in the eyes - or rather ears - of many, it isn't these exchanges that will endure, rather Lewis' admission regarding the state of his "rear end".
To much information Lewis!!!
