Romain Grosjean to reconsider radio messages

Romain Grosjean fears his recent radio messages are giving people the wrong impression of him.

Speaking to Autosport, the Haas driver, who has suffered a spate of brake failures in recent events, said that he would change his approach to radio messages.

"I'm passionate. I'm not a Finn and very calm, I'm more a Latin guy," he said. "It sounds like I'm an arseh*** in the car. But I think I'm a nice guy and everyone knows it, and if I'm pushing it's because I'm pushing myself and I want to push everyone in the same way."

"I've tried to back off, because it was playing on TV and people who don't know me think it's wrong. Is there a microphone in the middle of a football game? A tennis court? We are a sport where there is a microphone," he added. "In every sport where you are maxed out, adrenaline is at its max, you are focused and you are into it."

"During a judo game, if you read the lips of the guy, they're not saying: 'well done, I'm going to get you in the next one,' said the Franco-Swiss driver. "They respect their competitor, but they are like: 'I'm going to kill you.'"
