65 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the British Grand Prix 2023, across 17 drivers. 60 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 13.

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.

  15. Nico HULKENBERGHaas12:37:090:07

    Nico HULKENBERGBalance is very odd. It's really on the nose at high speed and completely understeer at low speed.

  16. Nico HULKENBERGHaas12:38:020:14

    EngineerShould we take some flap off? Yep, let me yep. Let me uh, yeah, we can we can definitely do that because that's where we're struggling in high speed So we'll come in for a flap adjust

  17. Carlos SAINZFerrari12:39:040:08

    EngineerAll clear from behind, place to focus turn 7 and turn 12, cross cars

  18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:39:280:07

  20. George RUSSELLMercedes12:42:540:10

  21. George RUSSELLMercedes12:44:110:04

    George RUSSELLThank you, Aaron. Let's start a bunch of them in three.

  22. Esteban OCONAlpine12:45:190:09

    Esteban OCONThe balance is very sharp on entries, turn in of the high speed, Maggots-Baggots, the first turn in

  25. Lance STROLLAston Martin12:47:120:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  26. Esteban OCONAlpine12:47:130:04

    Esteban OCONThe traction is very poor out of all the slow speeds. Disaster.

  27. Esteban OCONAlpine12:47:180:11

    EngineerOK understood, could look to try opening off the diff mid a little just to help the low speed rotation at apex as a start point.

  28. Esteban OCONAlpine12:47:570:08

    Esteban OCONThe traction is very poor out of all the slow speed disaster

  29. Esteban OCONAlpine12:48:250:08

    EngineerOK mate, I think we should box at this point, I think we should have a look at some balance work now.

  30. Esteban OCONAlpine12:48:550:07

    EngineerI'll have to check for you on that one

  31. Pierre GASLYAlpine12:49:560:06

  46. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:05:230:05

    EngineerAnd 13, we have a big delta, but I think it's probably understeer.

  47. George RUSSELLMercedes13:06:560:05

    George RUSSELLBig Vibration steering through Magnet Packets There you

    Engineergo

  48. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:08:480:08

    Kevin MAGNUSSENBut if I take speed off in the entry, I'm still going to get the understeer, so I need some help there.

  49. Esteban OCONAlpine13:11:040:05

    Esteban OCONMuch better.

  54. Esteban OCONAlpine13:14:380:08

    EngineerOk Esteban, looks like most people aren't improving on a second lap either. If you're happy I suggest we box this lap.

  55. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo13:15:000:05
