24 radio messages were recorded during practice 2 at the Australian Grand Prix 2023, across 11 drivers. 23 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Esteban OCON had the most, with 4.

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.

  12. Sergio PEREZRed Bull06:12:400:08

    EngineerSo we've got no more rain forecast, hopefully it will continue to dry up in the next 15 minutes, suggest we keep running.

  18. Lando NORRISMcLaren06:19:320:23

    Lando NORRISNo, it's too wet in the middle sector.

    EngineerOk, careful of bottom spine, too wet to try?

    Lando NORRISYou never know!

  19. Esteban OCONAlpine06:19:540:09

    Audio only, no transcript

  22. Nico HULKENBERGHaas06:43:140:07

    Nico HULKENBERGFeels a bit sketchy with the white lines and you can actually get a bit of bouncing.

    EngineerOkay, understood.

  23. Nico HULKENBERGHaas06:50:330:08

    Nico HULKENBERGThe only thing is we could add a bit more flap because I think the understeer was a bit excessive.

  24. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo06:59:180:04

    Valtteri BOTTASCome out of battery. Copy.
