No strategic errors today (that were not a result of the drivers' choice), so it really seems like the wrong time to make any comments about the communication style, however since Multiviewer released the radio gate feature and my Pinboard app has made it possible to listen to other teams' communication during these chaotic rain races, there's actually a massive difference in how Ferrari communicates in comparison to others. Let me draft you an example. Where Bono, Tom/GP or Will, even though I'd say Will can be too chatty at times, would do this: "We're thinking about boxing this lap, you'll come out here with x amount of laps remaining, and the rain will increase in the next x minutes, but if you'd rather stay out, say so." It's very collaborative. Where Santi or Bryan would say: "Box this lap" which leads to the driver asking why they are being pulled in first. Either they repeat the "box, Charles/Lewis, box" as a way of being assertive, or by the time they've given a reason to the driver and the driver has given their input, they've driven past the pit lane or boxed without being certain as to why it's being done. It almost feels like they are reading a script. Nothing about it feels organic. A more inquisitive and collaborative communication style would avoid so much friction over the radio and probably lead to quicker decisions and fewer errors. They can do a much better job at protecting themselves.
