27 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Australian Grand Prix 2023, across 12 drivers. Max VERSTAPPEN had the most, with 6.

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.
