27 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the British Grand Prix 2021, across 14 drivers. 25 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lewis HAMILTON had the most, with 5.

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.
