Things seem to be back to normal between Gianpiero Lambiase and Max Verstappen. After firm team radio messages in Hungary, Verstappen seemed a lot more relaxed over the team radio in Belgium. Even when Lambiase made a mistake.
Lambiase asked Verstappen what the times looked like during the first free practice session of the Belgian Grand Prix. A strange question to a driver, and the question did not appear to be intended for Verstappen at all. Verstappen then responded, laughing: 'You can tell me'
Lambiase was aware of the mistake. At the pit wall, Verstappen's race engineer had probably pressed the wrong button. The question was meant for someone else. Lambiase apologised to Max, but the three-time world champion laughingly stated that everything was fine.
