ESPN rounds up the best radio soundbites from the Bahrain Grand Prix as Kimi Raikkonen recorded an overdue return to the podium.
"I had a failure. I had a braking failure and Perez took my wing off. Unbelievable!"
An animated Sebastian Vettel complains about the Force India of Sergio Perez after the two made contact during FP2. The four-time world champion later saw the error of his ways and went to apologise to the Mexican.
"Woo! That felt pretty good."
Nico Hulkenberg cannot contain his excitement after putting his Force India eighth on the grid in qualifying.
"I think I can go faster but I will try to overtake him."
Kimi Raikkonen delivers a bizarre message to Ferrari during the opening stint as he closes on struggling team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
"This is great Valtteri. Threat from behind is minimal so we can fight for this place."
Valtteri Bottas is given permission to defend fourth position from Vettel's Ferrari, a radio message which must have been music to the Finn's ears.
"Come on, blue flags! They just don't want to move, these people!"
Hell hath no fury like a Finn scorned. Bottas' countryman Raikkonen is in no mood to dwell on the gearboxes of lapped traffic as he bears down on Rosberg.
"Sorry about the brakes, Nico. Happened at the worst time."
Tony Ross apologises to Nico Rosberg after a brake-by-wire problem prevented him the opportunity to defend second position from the charging Raikkonen.
"Hey, Iceman, you were great! I'm proud of you! Grande Kimi!"
"Yeah thanks everybody."
Take the exuberant and charismatic Maurizio Arrivabene and the notoriously cagey and reserved Kimi Raikkonen, put them on the radio together, and this is the exchange you get after ending a 26-race podium drought.
