We have been witnessing how for several years now racers and their engineers or team bosses play by radio cats with a mouse s“coded”Messages. This year, something came along new. Because sometimes we also hear conversations between now team chiefs in race leadership.
During the race GP of Spain in Barcelona, he pressed the hot button to connect with the race management Toto wolff, the head of the Mercedes team, who Michael Massi complained about this year 's newcomer to Formula 1 Nikito Mazepin, who held back Lewis Hamilton. On the race GP of France so what Massia called Ron Meadows in Jonathan Wheatley. Both team managers complained of an urgent opinion too high curbs, causing damage to race cars. Massi replied to both: “If the racers stay on the track, then there are no problems for the racers.”In Austria, at GP of Styria, is after rotation Bottas in the pits announced McLaren’s team manager Paul Jamesto draw attention to the danger of this action.
And what he says about all this Masi? "All teams are actively using radio communication and this has been the case for years. What’s new is that now fans are hearing this too. This has led to fewer complaints now. I imagine that today people think twice before contacting us. As for the Bottas case, we would have acted even without a message from Paul James. In such cases, we show on the monitors that we will investigate the case so that the teams know that we will look at this in detail.“What do they decide then four race commissioners, this with conversations between teams and Masi has nothing to do. “What is being said between me and the teams is not open to Commissioners. Their decisions are therefore completely independent of such discussions."
