16 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the British Grand Prix 2018, across 11 drivers. 15 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Max VERSTAPPEN had the most, with 2.

These are transcripts of real team radio audio, produced by speech recognition and presented as an archive rather than as edited prose. Radio is clipped and noisy, so wording can be imperfect. Each message is attributed to the driver or their engineer.

  2. Charles LECLERCSauber11:09:050:17

    Charles LECLERCWhy is it so, so much, how do you say it, I mean the parking stop for the pit stop is not straight, why don't we put it straighter?

  3. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:11:130:10

    EngineerRadio check, and tight line turn 3 and turn 4. Radio check. Radio is good, track is clear behind.

    EngineerPlease check for vibrations

  6. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso11:13:250:13

    EngineerOK Brandon, vibrations, from which axle can you feel vibrations? Yeah, through the whole car, so I'm not sure if it's the new track surface.

  7. Sergio PEREZForce India11:14:590:06

    EngineerCheck out, get good braking, get good braking in before the beginning of the lap.

  8. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren11:19:220:19

    Stoffel VANDOORNEMy brake pedal feels quite long. Can you check if everything is fine?

    EngineerYeah, we're checking. Stoffel brake system looks okay, brake system looks okay. Still looking at pedal length, but no concern to start a timed lap.

  9. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:21:360:09

    Max VERSTAPPENI quickly recharged, because I got disturbed.

    EngineerOK.

  10. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren11:23:070:13

    Stoffel VANDOORNEBalance is quite wrong in the low speed corners, quite a lot of understeer.

    EngineerOK copy, we'll see what we can do with toys.

  11. Carlos SAINZRenault11:27:430:06

    Carlos SAINZI'm going to do a build-up, not very good temperature there.

    EngineerOK, understood.

  13. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:30:140:05

    EngineerOh, he just backed off in front of me. Yeah, not nice.

  14. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:31:450:15

    EngineerSo, Niko, some information for you. If you manually close DRS before turn one, but stay flat through the corner, you can reopen it afterwards manually.

    Nico HULKENBERGOK, happy. That's what I thought, actually.

  15. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:34:580:07
