Max Verstappen was heard audibly in pain before shouting out expletives following his first-lap crash with Lewis Hamilton at the British Grand Prix.
The championship leader's race at Silverstone didn't last a lap after a collision at turn nine with title rival Hamilton as the Briton went on to claim victory in his absence.
Verstappen was taken to hospital for checks after the horror 180mph incident, and the audio footage on the Red Bull team's radio shed more light on the serious nature of it and how much pain the Dutchman appeared to be in.

In the short audio clip during the aftermath after being sent into the barrier wall by the crash following a clip on his rear right tyre, a member of the Red Bull team asks: 'Max, are you okay?'
After the audio briefly cuts out, the Dutchman is clearly heard grunting in pain by the incident before he shouts 'Argh, F***!'.
There was no love lost between the title rivals after Hamilton claimed the victory, with both appearing to blame each other for the turn nine crash, which Hamilton was also handed a 10-second penalty for.
'Glad I'm OK,' the Dutchman tweeted. 'Very disappointed with being taken out like this. The penalty given does not help us and doesn't do justice to the dangerous move Lewis made on track.
