If you thought Lewis Hamilton's radio messages were the most entertaining in Baku, you were mistaken. There were other starts of the soundbite in the Grand Prix of Europe, notably F1's sweary-radio king Kimi Raikkonen.
The supporting cast
"What the f--- is he doing!? Seriously. It's incredible."
Max Verstappen vents at Valtteri Bottas after the Finn's optimistic lunge down the inside of Turn 1 in qualifying, forcing him wide and compromising both drivers' laps.
"Ahh come on! You're joking?"
Sebastian Vettel cannot believe his misfortune after being told by Ferrari he crossed the line in exactly the same time as Daniel Ricciardo in Q3 -- meaning he must start behind the Red Bull driver.
"Box Sebastian, box."
"Are you sure about this? Pace is looking good..."
Things go more his way in the race however and, perhaps with Canada's strategy mistake lingering in his head, the German challenges Ferrari over an early pit stop. He stays out, a decision which helps consolidate an unexpected second position.
"Please be careful on Turn 8, Pascal, we've had a final warning." "But I'm not cutting it with all four tyres!"
Pascal Wehrlein is not impressed with this warning about track limits from Manor team boss Dave Ryan.
The main event
"There was some f---ing plastic flying around and I had to avoid it!"
Kimi Raikkonen complains about some of the items floating around the main straight in the early stages of the race...
"Hey where the f--- are the blue flags! I've been following him the whole f---ing lap now!"
...and then at Baku's marshals for not ordering traffic to dive out of his way.
"Thank-you Kimi, thank-you..."
"Well now you tell him to push, because I don't want that he's in front of me... I mean [censored by FOM]"
After moving over for Vettel -- a move he later said Ferrari could have executed differently -- Raikkonen suggests the team tells the four-time world champion to get a move on.
"Is it the same as last race, let's say?"
"I can't answer Kimi, I can't answer I'm sorry."
"Surely you can say yes or no!?"
"I can't Kimi, I can't."
The Iceman feels Hamilton's pain late in the race as he tries -- and fails -- to extract technical information from the pit wall.
