38 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix 2021, across 17 drivers. 37 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Pierre GASLY 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.

  9. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:20:370:14

    Nicholas LATIFIThe cutting on this lap was so much. I lost so much time from the cutting. This is something new. I'm not doing anything wrong here.

  10. George RUSSELLWilliams14:21:300:07

    George RUSSELLWe can't get it right every time, guys. On to tomorrow.

  11. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:22:360:11

  12. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:28:250:07

    EngineerWe need to sync the gears please so they don't expire we don't we want to make sure they don't expire sync the gears

  13. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:31:320:06

  14. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:33:380:07

  17. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren14:49:040:14

  19. Esteban OCONAlpine14:58:110:06

    EngineerGot a few cars a session now so we shouldn't have the queuing issue at the last corner.

  20. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:00:560:12

    EngineerYeah, less grip, I don't know what's happened. So turn 1, 2, we had more wind and we can see a loss on a bit more sliding. We overheat a bit more the tyres due to the wind.

  21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:01:520:07

    Max VERSTAPPENI don't know why, but just a massive lack of grip on this set.

    Audio only, no transcript

  23. Fernando ALONSOAlpine15:02:520:14

    EngineerOkay, how was the balance?

    Fernando ALONSOIt was okay, just more rear locking, more rear overheating, so yeah, I think we can do probably push a little bit less.

  24. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:03:290:09

    Charles LECLERCBut the track is changing a lot with the wind intensity.

  25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:09:450:10

    EngineerYep, nice job, P6.

  34. Fernando ALONSOAlpine15:19:460:18

    Fernando ALONSOYes, unlucky. This set had a lot more understeer. 10-2 was amazing, so we got unlucky.

    EngineerCopy that. Still a long ways ahead tomorrow.

  35. Fernando ALONSOAlpine15:20:080:08

    EngineerThat's P9 in the end, and we can certainly race from there mate.
