27 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Dutch Grand Prix 2021, across 12 drivers. 26 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Max VERSTAPPEN had the most, with 8.

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.

    EngineerOk Maz, so grid start from the left hand side as far forward as you can, as far forward as you can on the left hand side, you've got to make sure it's clear ahead before you go, we'll do one burnout, one burnout, so we'll go mode slow, one burnout out the last corner, and then a static bite point learn in the grid position before you go please, so one burnout. Left hand side. Left hand side, yes, left hand side.

  27. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:35:130:19

    EngineerOkay, Daniel, so we're going to do a pit stop on Lando. He's the car ahead. That means you'll have to stack as we discussed And then when they move Lando out of the box, you can drive into the box. We won't do a pit stop on your car Just be engine off
