Perez was leading in Barcelona until he was ordered 🌳to let Verstappen through, who duly claimed a thi🧸rd consecutive F1 Grand Prix victory.

Perez made it clear via the team radio that he w💟asn’t thrilled - but Verstappen had clearly insisted that he♛ should be given the priority.

• Here are the key team radio instructions that were not broadcast:

Verstappen, on lap nine, was approaching behind Perez, who was behind Mercedes’ George Russell. Perez was given one opportunity to overtake Russell…

Team radio talking to Perez: This is your chance, get it done.

Verstappen: I’m miles faster.

Team radio: OK Checo. Let Max have a shot. Let him through.

Perez: Give me one more lap.

Team radio talking to Perez: Let’s give [Max] a shot now. 🌸We’ll pay back later.

Perez: Copy.

Team radio: Thankyou.

Verstappen was unable to overtake Russell and, on lap 21, had an angry exchange on the team radio…

Team radio: Max, info: the DRS flap did not open a𒁃fter the last lap. Keep trying.

Team radio: OK Max, just so you are aware, DRS did work…

Team radio: DRS did not work…

Verstappen: You can’t even make a f***** DRS!

Team radio: Max, try pressing the DRS after your kerbing…

Team radio: Max, I think you may have closed it last time…

Verstappen: Because I’m pressing it 5𝕴0 f****** tiꦛmes before it opens!

Team radio: Just try one button press after the kerb…

Perez implored Red Bull to allow him to take priority over Verstappen on lap 24…

Perez: Get me Max out of the way so I overtake quickly.

Team radio: Copy, Checo.

Perez: Why don’t you let me by? I 🗹have very fresh tyres. I can get by quickly.

Perez: We will compromise our race.

By lap 27, Perez is still urging Red Bull to prioritise him over Verstappen. Verstappen pitted and Perez overtook Russell…

Perez: Come on guys, let me by.

Team radio: You’ve still got fresh t༒yres, you’re going to get🐟 your shot.

Perez: I did help Max earlier, man, come on.

Team radio: We know.

Team radio: Let’s get him [Russell], let’s get him!

Verstappen: Am I racing someone?

Team radio: This is for the race lead, Leclerc has retired. Racing [Carlos 𒆙Sainz].

Team radio to Verstappen: Both on medium tyres.

Perez: How far is Max?

Perez: And to Max?

Verstappen goes in for his final pitstop…

Team radio to Perez: Okay Max has pitted, he’s goi🐻ng to slot in behind you.

Team radio to Perez: You’re oꦬn a different strategy to Max. Iꦅf he’s quicker, we let him through.

Perez: That’s very unfair. But okay.

Team radio to Perez: Let Max through into turn one, let Max th𓆏ro🤡ugh into turn one.
