Fernando Alonso is annoyed at how the TV always seems to show coverage of his team radio, more than any other driver. The two-time world champion is not pleased about how his messages get highlighted.
He believes the wet tyre conversation which was shown on TV occurred with every driver, but FOM decided to highlight just his.
"The FOM is quite annoying already with my radio," the McLaren driver told Motorsport.
"I don't know what problem they have to put my radio always, and I don't know what was not normal about the conversation when the track is getting worse [wetter].
"You cannot improve any more the times, you chat about which tyres to put and if it's worth doing another run or not. It's their favourite hobby, so good luck to them."
Alonso managed to get his McLaren into 11th place during the wet session. On a track that suits the McLaren characteristics, Alonso will be hoping for a decent points finish.
