Is the frosty treatment of Max by his race engineer a recemt thing, or am I only noticing it now?

I know Max said that if GP retires, he will stop racing, but it seems to me that GP has been less than diplomatic in his comms with Max this year.

Notable today was the “we all got that from your previous message” response to Max complaining about his tyres. Is it maybe a case of that’s just what works between them?

I don’t think I saw GP at the podium celebrations, but again it could just be me.

Would love some insight from you guys.
