Jungles said: Drivers, like any other top athletes, need prodding from their coaches/bosses to perform at their peak. But to do that over open radio was not good. Fisi won Malaysia, so they should cut him some slack. No, they shouldn't. He's a driver being paid (very well, I'm sure) to do a job at perform at the highest level of the racing ladder. When his team mate is cruising along two seconds a lap faster, he needs a kick up the arse. The best way to do that was to tell him to get a wriggle on. They did. So it was live on the TV as well? So what, if he hadn't have been tossing about he wouldn't have got the call. Funny how his car seemed to magically get faster in the closing stages of the race. Hasn't he done this before? didn't he set fastest lap of the race at a GP last year when he was tugging about during the rest of it? Or was that someone else?

Renault fixed a problem with the clutch which allowed him to speed up towards the end of the race. Sounds like an electrical/Software problem. Flavio has apologised, (again).

I quite enjoyed Rubens telling the world that he was 'struggling like a bitch'. What an entertaining feature of the coverage that team radio has turned out to be! Gruffy

Our TV commentators (in Aust) (can't remember if it was Murray or Crompton) heard this comment as "like a pig". Must admit that is what I thought he said too...
