Max Verstappen's X-rated radio messages in the moments after crashing out of the British Grand Prix have emerged, and the Dutchman was not happy.
Verstappen started the Silverstone race seventh on the grid but was unable to capitalise, despite climbing to third, crashing out on lap 48 with his Red Bull beached in the gravel.
Shortly after the incident, Verstappen fumed over team radio, saying: "I'm stuck, dude. F*** this car. F****** unbelievable."
Earlier in the race, the Red Bull driver said: "Already for a few laps now, I haven't said a thing, but the downshifts are ****."

It was not just Verstappen who endured a frustrating afternoon at Silverstone, as Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton received a five-second penalty after the stewards deemed he had committed a false start.
Despite receiving the penalty, Hamilton made no excuses after securing a third-place finish.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Englishman said: "Big, big congratulations to Charles, this is a great result for our team. I just didn't have it today. I jumped the start, got a penalty, and Charles had the edge over me today.
"The team is doing a phenomenal job. Look at these results – two wins for the team this year. This is fantastic."
Kimi Antonelli also received a five-second time penalty after being given a warning for track limits, with the championship leader finishing 16th.
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc came out on top after the safety car stayed out, much to the dismay of the crowd, with many fans booing while others headed for the exits.
As per F1.com: "Possibly Race Control saw something around Stowe that meant racing could not resume."
Speaking after his victory, Leclerc said: "It feels incredible. Unfortunately, the end was maybe not the one I will have dreamt of, but I mean, to win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficul. I felt like I had found something yesterday between the sprint race and qualifying, but I had to confirm that today, and today, the feeling was back where it needs to be.
“After Monaco, the feeling wasn’t there. I crashed in Q3, then in the race, we had an issue, and that ended our race. Then Saturday in Barcelona, the feeling was good, but then I crashed again. So that was very difficult mentally, and then on Sunday, we had an issue with the car, and Austria wasn’t so great, but here we managed to put everything together, and I really hope I can keep that momentum going forward.”
Second-placed George Russell then explained: "My first podium [here] even though, I don't know, a very unlucky race - got the puncture, then very lucky.
"From my side, my tyres were stone cold, so I was glad to bring it home in second.
"These Ferrari guys look really quick, so game on."
F1 returns on July 19 with the Belgian Grand Prix taking place at Spa-Francorchamps.
