Romain Grosjean says that he is fed up with his radio messages being broadcast to live TV, saying that they are getting some unfair attention. Grosjean is consistently heard complaining over his radio to the Haas pit wall, throwing in a number of swear words to back his complaints up.
Grosjean has been struggling with his brakes all season, and the Frenchman yesterday dropped out of qualifying in Q1. He has struggled all weekend, making regular trips up escape roads. The 31-year-old believes he is being targetted.
"I'm very fed up with it. Everyone is saying things and what I'm saying is just for the team, it's not for the outside world," Grosjean said. "It's not internal business if I've had front locking, rear locking or whatever. I think I have been broadcasted much more than others and I'm pretty sure others have been swearing and not being happy sometimes.
"I can fight my natural [reaction], which I've been trying to, but it's not really what I want. I need to try harder. I just feel they have been a bit unfair and I'm getting tired.”
When the question if the TV directors were trying to build a story was put to him, Grosjean said: "Probably. It's a sketch because it's been a year and a half but things should get better soon.
For fans on TV, who cares if we had front or rear locking. If you are complaining about other drivers, if you are fighting with someone, if you are not happy about the decision, why not? But set-up or internal views, no."

It isnt going to change, team radio is a great part of formula 1 and is the same for pretty much everyone, I'm sure for example Honda don't want Alonso complaining about their awful engine every week

Whining about the brakes on the radio seems to be a trait of his.

Yup, and the weird thing is, you practically never hear Magnussen complain about it.
