"What the *** is he doing?! ***** you idiot!" The best radio of Belgium
From Esteban Ocon and Kimi Raikkonen's anger to Fernando Alonso's disappointment, the Belgian Grand Prix had a lot of interesting radio conversations between the pit wall and drivers. Here are some of the best of the weekend.

Team: Yep Fernando we see that. Be careful, we have two warnings for turn four.
Box now guys.
Team: No, no.
Magnussen: I’m serious, we need to get out of this tyre.
Alonso: I really don’t care too much of the gaps. This is just a… a test.
Verstappen: Uh-oh, lose power.
Team: Stand by. Fail one fail.
Verstappen: Nope.
Team: One more time please.
Verstappen: No, no.
Team: OK, switch it off. Pull over to the right hand side.
Verstappen: Unbelievable. I can’t believe this. No words.
Alonso: No more radio – the rest of the race!
Raikkonen: What do you mean? He was on the side of the road.
Team: Stop and go.
Raikkonen: Can we do it whenever we want?
Team: No this lap.
Raikkonen: And my car is actually really nice…
Alonso: Why? The only ******* car I will overtake.
Team: We didn’t want to be pushed back into Palmer and Stoll.
Alonso: They will pass anyway. But it will not change my life.
Team: No, no rain on the radar.
Alonso: Engine problem.
Team: OK, let’s box.
Team: He has a penalty of five seconds, so he should not have reached you.
Okon: No, that's honest ...
Team: Stay close to him, you have more recent tires, go through it on a straight line.
Front wing broken now.
****** idiot!
Team: I think it’s the amount of debris that’s out there at the moment Lewis.
Hamilton: There’s literally no debris anywhere….
It’s a BS call from the stewards man.
Team: Lewis expect one more lap of the Safety Car.
Hamilton: Got glazed brakes.
Team: Just do what you can do. Looks like that disc has woken up.
Team: He’s slow in the corners Danny, keep pushing.
Ocon: Yeah, that guy did deserve a race ban for that. Unbelievable.
Team: Esteban, the first incident – the penalty for Perez was for something else, not for that.
Ocon: Well, he deserved the first one as well… and the second one too!
