With a runaway winner and the top four drivers finishing in the order they started, last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix is unlikely to live long in the memory of Formula One enthusiasts.

But there were at least a number of fascinating interactions over team radio over the course of the race, a number of which offered clues over the Mercedes team's state of mind at this stage of the 2015 campaign.

Heading to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Nico Rosberg was a man under pressure having failed to win any of the opening four races. But the German gave himself the best possible chance of claiming his first victory of the year by claiming pole position, breaking team-mate Lewis Hamilton's pole-setting streak.

And while Hamilton could have challenged his 2014 championship rival for a fourth victory of the season in the latter stages, two crucial radio messages—one to Lewis, the other to Nico—suggested Mercedes had decided to present a long-overdue win to Rosberg, giving the German a boost when he most needed it.

By that point, the challenge posed by Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari had faded, with the four-time world champion turning on his team as he coasted toward a distant third-place finish, revealing much about his uncompromising attitude just five races into his career with the Italian team.

With a look to the troubles endured by Romain Grosjean and Jenson Button, here are the most interesting radio messages from the Spanish GP.
