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.

EngineerAnd it's a great light.
EngineerSo yellow's ahead of you, Sunoda, exit turn 10, Sunoda stopped, exit turn 10, I think it's just on the inside of the apex, stay outside, stay outside.
EngineerGood warm-up on the brakes, can stay in mode race
EngineerOkay, let's have a recharge lap. Recharge lap, Max.
EngineerOkay, first clear lap, put your P1 13.0, P2 is Norris on a 13.7, obviously lap times evolving pretty quickly
EngineerAny comments so far?
Valtteri BOTTASSo far, all good.
EngineerThink about your slow lap pace if you felt the tyres weren't quite ready that last time.
EngineerMain losses to Max are Apex B turn 2 and entry to turn 3.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerAnd weaving in the straight when you can after 10.10 Let
Pierre GASLYme know about the sectors on GPS
EngineerSo it looks like turn 3, others are taking a tighter line and carry a bit more speed, turn 3 the main difference to Max, turn 1 still very strong
EngineerYellow flag in Term 1. Yellow flag, Term 1.
EngineerOkay Daniel, there's yellows turn one, Vettel stopped in the pit exit, watch for Vettel in the pit exit, take care there and we're box this lap. Okay,
Daniel RICCIARDOunderstood. Yeah, I'll box this lap.
Engineerand I assure you it is a red, so just keep your dash positive if you can.
EngineerStop at the marks, practice pit stop and switch off.
EngineerOkay, let's go let's go let's go
EngineerHow
Pierre GASLYmany lads do I get?
EngineerTwo push, push could push
EngineerOkay, so there is a chance we'll get some traffic coming through all cars on softs at the moment
EngineerSo, some cement dust at 14, correction, that's at 10, 1, cement dust at 10, 1 for the oil.
EngineerMax, I'm going to set you up for two push laps, that's mode two, mode two and that's all that's available. Okay, one push lap available, mode one. Your tyres might not be ready. Leclerc behind three seconds, Leclerc behind three seconds. That's the facts.
Max VERSTAPPENI'll do two then.
EngineerMode two.
EngineerOkay Checo, we can't do the next push lap, can't do the next push lap, but avoid full throttle. We're going to circulate until the practice start. Avoid full throttle.
EngineerOkay, try to push more on the entry of 7, and you have a little bit of time, watch for Gasly is finishing a push now, Gasly 2 behind, Gasly 1, okay, mode push, need to go, mode push.
EngineerShould I box or do I need to reach out? No, stay out, stay out, stay out. You will take the chequered flag. Stay out. We need to do the start on the grid.
EngineerOkay, take the checkered flag, tyre 5 and target 0 rear axle, tyre 5, target 0 on the rear.
EngineerBrakes are square, they're on the low side though so any straight line braking is good.
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.
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
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, understood
