32 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the British Grand Prix 2020, across 15 drivers. 31 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 4.

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.

  11. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:29:050:15

    EngineerCarlos, a few cars are running the medium, so that is Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari on Leclerc and the racing points. Medium cars seem to be looking for a faster out lap.

Then it's Danny on a 26.0, then Sainz on a 25.96. Sounds like Vettel's lap time has been deleted. So yeah, you are P9 now, you are P9.
