26 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Austrian Grand Prix 2020, across 11 drivers. 25 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Carlos SAINZ had the most, with 7.

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.

The session, message by message

  1. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:05:140:10

    Daniil KVYATOkay, the steering is not straight and the car doesn't turn the same on the right and on the left So I think there's something at the front

  2. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:07:020:07

    EngineerOK Esteban, was everything good for you there?

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, everything was OK, radio was loud and clear.

  3. Esteban OCONRenault10:13:310:04

    Esteban OCONAll right training now

  4. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:15:120:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  5. Esteban OCONRenault10:15:130:04

    Esteban OCONAll right training now

  6. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:16:060:16

    EngineerSo, Carlos, the track shows slippery at the exit of Turn 1. We think the pit lane is where it rained first, and there's still light rain in the pit lane.

  7. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:25:320:09

    EngineerWe know that it's dry, we need two labs on these tires at least. Okay, okay, okay, copy, I got it.

  8. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:29:100:06

    EngineerJust be careful of front graining in the high speed.

  9. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:39:580:15

    Engineerand Carlos we suggest to use a left-hand side toggle in turn four for that little front lock up at turn three you had a little front lock up it was rear locking as well as entry so just make sure you're nice and smooth with the steering

  10. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:42:000:08

    Daniil KVYATJust check the front wing please

    EngineerCopy Danny, cool down, cool down

  11. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:45:500:23

    EngineerRed mid 5 looks good, but it's too much in turn 3, so consider right hand side toggle to stabilise turn 3 a little. Right hand side toggle for turn 3.

    Carlos SAINZWhat would that do again? Two steps of what?

    EngineerIt's two steps on mid. It gives you two steps on mid. Copy, I'll go to mid 4 then. Happy, no problem.

  12. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:56:340:12

    Daniil KVYATAnd the brakes are very poor, so then the understeer in the high speed, quite a lot in the apex, same.

  13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:06:350:13

    EngineerOK Carl, so that's P3. Recharge on is good.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, I forgot the right hand toggle and I didn't push the last corner.

    EngineerI

    Carlos SAINZjust realised before turning in on I.

  14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:08:180:25

    EngineerSo Carlos, we're going to pit and change the nose box, still a little bit in 6th and 7th, turn 6 just carrying the brakes into mid corner and potentially that's contributing to the snap and then turn 7 maybe a little bit late turning in, could be something in the turn in point turn 7.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, I feel like I'm late all the time.

    EngineerBox now, box now.

  15. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:14:100:13

    EngineerCarlos the wing that came off the car has some damage from curbing so just take care take care with this wing. Which

    Carlos SAINZside?

    EngineerThat's right hand side right hand side

  16. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:16:510:07

    Alexander ALBONThe anti-soul is really easy.

    EngineerYep, copy.

  17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:17:350:07

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, no car felt a little better just turn three was not so good

  18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:20:280:07

    EngineerYeah, I'll

    Max VERSTAPPENdo another lap, is that okay?

    EngineerYeah, absolutely.

  19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:22:320:10

    Max VERSTAPPENRear tyres are dropping off.

    EngineerOk, let's try a double cool down lap.

  20. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:23:140:06

    EngineerYou can improve turn 6, turn 6 and last corner.

  21. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:23:530:03

    EngineerMore push, more push.

  22. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:27:220:10

    Max VERSTAPPENOK, can you help me out? Turn 1, still that same problem I told you about, out of the corner.

    EngineerOK, understood.

  23. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:29:090:09

    Engineerreasonably quick in lap and try halfway stay off the curbs

  24. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:30:570:11

    EngineerContinue to the grid. Continue to the grid for a practice launch. Cool the car on this lap please. Cool the car approaching the grid.

  25. George RUSSELLWilliams11:32:430:10

    EngineerOkay, we're going to go on the left side, so don't launch until it's clear on your side of the grid.

  26. George RUSSELLWilliams11:34:380:08

    George RUSSELLThe radio sounds like it's sort of half unplugged for me, FYI.
