Radio Chatter from Senior Team Members

Not to clutter the other threads, is this season much quieter where team principles, race officials etc. involvement is much less?

Did Masi-gate have an effect on how much we heard between the teams and race control?

Horner seems to be a regular from the pit wall to answer some questions and get involved but I guess this could be because they are upfront and Ferrari were never that vocal.

Yes, the radio broadcasts between the teams and race control are no longer given to the media.

In addition, the communications from the teams are no longer with the race director directly, and are limited to safety matters.

Yes, this is all as a result of the controversy at the end of last season.

Team managers are of course free to talk to the media during the race.

Teams aren't allowed direct communication with the race director this year, and while they're allowed to ask simple questions to Race Control the radio won't be broadcast on the world feed anymore.
