Oscar Piastri seemed to cut his radio off while CEO Zak Brown was congratulating him on the Constructors' title win.

Piastri, who had made it clear to the team he was upset at making contact with teammate Lando Norris at the start, with the Brit overtaking him in the early stages of the race at the Marina Bay Circuit.

Adding to the frustration of the 24-year-old – who finished behind Norris – was a lengthy pit stop later in the race.
