This year has been a frustrating one for Sebastian Vettel.
After three victories in his first season with Ferrari in 2015, many expected him to be challenging Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg for this year's championship.
However things have not gone to plan - Vettel is still to pick up a victory in 2016 and, after his time penalty in Mexico, has not had a podium finish since the Italian Grand Prix.
As the year has gone on, Vettel's frustration has over the team radio has become more obvious with messages turning blue quite quickly on a number of occasions.
And it started right at the first race...
Australian Grand Prix
After sliding off chasing the Mercedes drivers for victory: "Aaaarrrggghh!"
Chinese Grand Prix
In China Vettel hit teammate Kimi Raikkonen in the first corner as Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat charged by - and immediately pointed the finger of blame at Kvyat.
"OK I made contact. I had no chance to avoid, I had the Red Bull coming up the inside like a mad man and I hit Kimi.
"Just to copy you again, Kvyat's attack was suicidal. There was always going to be a crash, no way with the speed he had he could have done the corner."
In the room before the podium, the young Russian just laughed off Vettel's complaints.

Russian Grand Prix
Vettel's race in Russia ended in the barrier on the outside of turn three on the first lap after another first-lap incident with Kvyat.
“Oh for **** sake, man! Who the ****! Oh, I’m out. Crash. Somebody hit me in the ****ing rear in turn two, then someone hit me in the ****ing rear again in turn three. Honestly. What the **** are we doing here?”

Spanish Grand Prix
During a battle with former Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo: “If I don’t avoid that he is just going straight into my car. Honestly, what are we doing? Racing or ping pong?”
Ricciardo's response? He tweeted a photo of actor Will Ferrell playing table tennis with the caption: "Love a good game of ping pong".
Canadian Grand Prix
When trying to get past some of the backmarkers.
"Get this traffic out of the way! Mama mia what the hell is going on!?"
Then when he found out he would start third on the grid after setting the same time as Ricciardo a few seconds after the Red Bull driver: "Aww come on! You're joking!"
European Grand Prix
Vettel was unimpressed with Fernando Alonso's driving during free practice three in Azerbaijan.
"I'm losing tyre temperature like crazy, because... I dunno, Alonso is taking a bus tour around Baku."
German Grand Prix
Not even Vettel's Ferrari team have been safe.
After releasing him into traffic during practice for the German Grand Prix, Vettel told them: "This is a **** spot. I'm wasting my time, where do you want me to drop in to?!"
Then during the race he was asked to come into the pits for new tyres.
"Negative, I'm going to take a couple more laps. Tyre are still good."
"It's the only way we have to undercut someone. Box now."
"They're miles away, who do you want to undercut!?"

Mexican Grand Prix
The battle between Vettel and the two Red Bull drivers of Ricciardo and Max Verstappen was the highlight of the race with the three fighting for the last spot on the podium towards the end of the race.
However Verstappen's driving didn't impress the four-time champion.
"He [Verstappen] is a ****," he yelled. "Am I the only one, or are you not seeing what I'm seeing? He's just backing me off into [Daniel] Ricciardo.
"Move, move for f***'s sake. He cut the chicane. He has to give me the position. End of the story."
When race control decided 19-year-old Verstappen didn't need to let Vettel past, he launched into a tirade against race direction Charlie Whiting.
"Here's a message to Charlie: **** off. Honestly, **** off."
Later he went to apologise.
And on the current radio rules themselves
“It is complete bulls**t, all the radio issues we have is a joke. "
