ESPN rounds up the best radio soundbites from the Belgian Grand Prix. "I crash. Sorry."
Pastor Maldonado sheepishly tells Lotus he's put it in the wall during Friday practice. "I don't understand! What he did to me was very dangerous."
Kimi Raikkonen fumes during FP3 after Romain Grosjean slowed down in front of his Ferrari, forcing the Finn into evasive action. "That's the best lap I've done in a long time!"
Jenson Button would later say his Q1 lap felt better than his 2012 pole lap. It was only good enough for 17th but was quicker than Fernando Alonso but half a second. "Er, mix up in the pits..."
Williams can't quite find the right words to tell Valtteri Bottas exactly what they've done to his car after fitting it with three softs and one medium. "Yes! That's how you f****** do it! Next car!"
Adrenaline pumping, Daniil Kvyat lets all his emotion out on the radio after passing Felipe Massa and then Sergio Perez at Les Combes. "Think about an extra stop if it makes sense?"
It did make sense, as it turned out. Sebastian Vettel questions Ferrari's one stop strategy before sticking to the original plan of getting his tyres to the end, with bad consequences for the German and Pirelli. "Fantastic job, Romain! Incredible, one of the best of your career, I'm so proud."
Lotus congratulate Romain Grosjean on his return to the podium as the Frenchman struggles to hold back the tears. "Thanks guys. I'm really happy with that one."
A quite measured response from Lewis Hamilton after crossing the line and extending his championship lead to 28 points.
