Well, they're the same guys that thought ripping Webber's wing off and giving it to Vettel was a swell idea with no possibility of a PR nightmare.

Ooh, the plot thickens...
I'm not sure about the year, but two way telemetry is banned. If a team were caught using it, well, ...

Honesty and emotion are exciting and entertaining, but outbursts like this take way from what little respect I have less for a driver (Vettel in this case, but they all seem like cocks to me at this point).
It's been said on here before, but I'll say it again anyway...doesn't everybody say things in the heat of the moment that they perhaps wouldn't say if they were feeling a bit more measured and had more time to think about the words that come out of their mouth? I actually find it amazing that we don't hear more outbursts over the radio, because it is a high pressure situation that these guys are in. I think it's remarkable how calm they usually sound.

Those radio transmissions (sadly) aren't live any more due to those outbursts. Now they're sometimes too late to be any use.

I know if I was a driver trailing in the championship and needing a result and if my engine gave up on me the first thing I'd think is "I better not swear because forum posters on 10-10ths will be offended."

I wonder what Vettel said when he was trying to pass Mark Webber?

"I am vaster than Vebber". Similar to the Alonso and Massa conversation? Quickly followed by a : "Oh sh**!" when he crashed into the side of him!
