During the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix, tensions ran high between Verstappen and Lambiase during the second qualifying segment (Q2). After a minor off at Turn 9, Verstappen found himself barely scraping through Q2 in 10th place. Frustrated with Red Bull's strategy to recharge his battery at a lower speed rather than pushing for consecutive fast laps, Verstappen let his emotions spill over the radio.

"We should have just f****** pushed two laps in a row like I said," Verstappen vented, clearly irritated by the situation. Lambiase, trying to calm things down, reminded him that he had made it through to Q3, but Verstappen was not satisfied with simply advancing.

Verstappen's frustration was evident: "Yeah – I don't give a f***, mate if I'm through in P10. It was just s*** execution." Lambiase defended the decision, explaining that a second consecutive fast lap could have left Verstappen without enough battery charge when the track conditions were improving rapidly.

The 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marked another high point for Verstappen and Lambiase. After a gruelling season, Verstappen clinched the victory, and the radio message from GP was short but sweet: "All missions complete."

This simple message encapsulated the culmination of a successful season, with Verstappen securing another win under his belt and the team's goals met. This was one of the best moments of the season for Red Bull as Verstappen clinched his third consecutive World Driver’s championship.

1. Hungarian Grand Prix 2024: "Childish" on the Radio

Imagine being called childish by your own team 🤣

Verstappen said Hamilton "moved in the braking zone."

GP: "I'm not even going to get into a radio fight with the other teams, Max. We'll let the stewards do their thing. It's childish on the radio, childish." #HungarianGP pic.twitter.com/YJ72NDsD3A

The Hungarian Grand Prix 2024 featured an intriguing radio moment where Lambiase took a more assertive stance. During the race, Verstappen claimed that Lewis Hamilton had "moved in the braking zone," after he crashed with Hamilton while trying to get P3. Rather than engaging in a back-and-forth with other teams, Lambiase decided to keep the focus on their race.

"I'm not even going to get into a radio fight with the other teams, Max. We'll let the stewards do their thing. It's childish on the radio, childish," GP stated, effectively shutting down any further debate. This moment highlighted the balance Lambiase maintains between supporting Verstappen and keeping the team's communication professional, even when emotions run high.
