Lando Norris swore on the team radio with the McLaren star gutted after missing out on Spanish Grand Prix glory to Max Verstappen on Sunday.
The Briton started the day in pole after shining in qualifying but Verstappen, in the end, proved to be too strong.
Norris, who has already won in Miami so far this season, praised the team for their work.
Yet he rued his failure to add a second Grand Prix to his name, saying he 'f****d it' at the start of the race.

"I think what made the race was the beginning," he said.
"I took the lead and then had a buffer in that first stint and could eke out a gap.
"After that we had to drive defensively. Lando and McLaren were very quick.
"I think we did everything well. I am very happy to win here.
"It was about managing the tyres. They get very hot around here so you are sliding around quite a lot."
