The Turkish Grand Prix weekend threw up mixed weather conditions, which caused no end of drama at Istanbul Park. While Valtteri Bottas was relatively untroubled during the race as he crossed the line to win for the first time this season, the same couldn’t be said for those behind. The airwaves were full of anguish, with frustrated drivers up and down the field letting their feelings be known in no uncertain terms…
Kimi Raikkonen voiced his irritation after being the victim of a leaking drinks system, while Yuki Tsunoda was unimpressed by the driving of some of his rivals.

And as for Valtteri Bottas, it was all joy as he jubilantly took the chequered flag for a first win since Sochi in 2020. Hit play on the video above to listen to all the best of the team radio from Turkey…
