WATCH: Verstappen's muffled mic and Bottas' fury – it's the best team radio from France

The result at Paul Ricard came down to the last couple of laps, but the drama on the airwaves started far earlier than that. From angry outbursts to bemused confusion, the radio calls at the French Grand Prix were full of emotion up and down the field.

Unusually it was Charles Leclerc who turned the airwaves blue and he was joined by Valtteri Bottas, who had some sharp words for his team on strategy.
