1. 1. 'Vettel just turned into me'published at 17:14 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    In the world of Formula 1, things often get heated in the high-pressure environment of the race track.

    But luckily we get to listen to it all, and it can be more entertaining than the races. Well, sometimes.

    So here are the best moments of team radio from the 2017 Formula 1 season.

    There is only one place to start. One of the most bizarre moments of the season came in the Azerbaijan GP when a petulant Sebastian Vettel unleashed his inner child by deliberately driving into Lewis Hamilton, after he claimed the Brit had "brake-tested" him.

    "Vettel just came alongside and turned into me," said a baffled Hamilton.

  2. Team radio 2. 'I'm happy for you, bro'published at 17:14 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    After winning the world title for a fourth time at Mexico, Lewis Hamilton celebrated in the traditional fashion of performing 'doughnuts', basically spinning around and driving as quick as you can in a circle.

    Fine for a Formula 1 world champion to do it on a race track, but you'd be annoyed as hell if some 19-year-old in a souped-up Ford Escort did that outside your house at 2.30 in the morning.

    What was a bit less usual was a radio message from Neymar, the world's most expensive footballer, congratulating Hamilton and telling him that he was "happy for you, bro".

  3. 3. 'What is he doing?'published at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    We all have that work colleague who, basically, is just really annoying.

    Sadly for Esteban Ocon that seems to be his Force India team-mate Sergio Perez, with the pair's clashes providing some entertaining moments for anyone who is not a Force India fan.

    Ocon finally snapped after a coming together in Spa. "What is he doing?" was one of the bits we could actually broadcast in its entirety.

    Our 5 live commentary team suggested the Force India bosses "would go nuts". And they did. They ordered Ocon and Perez to stay away from each other, on the track at least, to avoid any more incidents of drama.

  4. 4. 'No more radio'published at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Fernando Alonso is a Formula 1 legend. And being a legend, and a two-time world champion at that, you can get a bit more freedom to be a bit looser with the tongue than younger drivers may be.

    It has been a miserable season for him and his McLaren team and he had finally had enough of the struggles during the Belgian Grand Prix.

    After told to protect his tyres, the fed-up Spaniard told his mechanics "no more radio for the rest of the race!"

    The silence did not do him too much good as he failed to finish.

  5. 5. 'Shut up, please'published at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    It wasn't just Fernando Alonso getting stroppy with his mechanics.

    "Shut up, please!" was Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz plea after unwanted interruptions from his team during Singapore GP.

    Well, he did say please.

  6. Best team radio this season: 6. 'Your three-time champion of the world, Lewwwwis Hamilton'published at 17:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Well, they like it in Las Vegas.

    Boxing's 'Master of Ceremonies', the silver-tongued Michael Buffer himself, introduced Lewis Hamilton as he entered the grid in his inimitable style at the US Grand Prix.

    It didn't exactly get a great reception from the F1 drivers, with Fernando Alonso later saying "it was a bad copy" of Nascar Racing.

  7. 7. 'What strategy?'published at 17:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    McLaren's Fernando Alonso getting a bit moody with the team. Wait, haven't we already done this one?

    An agitated Alonso was heard at the United States Grand Prix wondering just what the plans were for the rest of the race.

    "It would be nice to know what strategy they were doing." "Plan B" was the message, which was clearly to not finish the race because of an engine problem.

  8. 8. Ricciardo vents his frustration after being eliminatedpublished at 17:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Ocon v Perez was not the only lively team rivalry this season, as Max Verstappen, of Red Bull, took out Daniel Ricciardo, er, also of Red Bull, during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    "Sore loser" was the second half of Ricciardo's response. The first half was less friendly.

  9. 9. 'This radio stuff sucks'published at 17:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    You're driving around for nearly two hours at 200mph and you can only hear from your engineer. So it can get a bit lonely when that voice vanishes.

    That's what happened to Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian GP as he lost contact with engineer Pete Bonnington.

    "This radio stuff sucks," moaned Hamilton when contact was returned. "It's all a bit rubbish at the moment," was the rather sheepish response from Bonnington.

  10. 10. Hamilton's breathless radio messagepublished at 17:11 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    No-one can ever deny Lewis Hamilton's commitment to the cause.

    He was trying so hard in the Spanish Grand Prix, a race he would go on to win, that he just could not find any words to describe it. That's why he's the world champion. Well, that and being an awesome racing driver.
