70 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Mexico City Grand Prix 2023, across 19 drivers. 68 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Isack HADJAR 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.

  5. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri19:36:130:09

    EngineerOkay, charge on, we go for a cool down. We have an issue with tire data So it's not working on the dash and not working for us in telemetry

  6. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:36:210:15

    Charles LECLERCThe engine does a slight strange noise when I'm full throttle, like a metal noise, just for your info.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  7. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren19:36:470:09

    EngineerAnd Oscar recharge on, cool down lap, we need to cool the PU, so big lifts into turn one, we'll do a cool down and go for a final push lap.

  8. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren19:37:190:05

    Oscar PIASTRIUh, more power would be good if we could attack.

  9. Esteban OCONAlpine19:38:130:13

    Esteban OCONOkay, the bite point find didn't work, and at low rev when I pulled away from the box, there was also no power.

    EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a look at that. No concerns at the moment.

  10. Sergio PEREZRed Bull19:39:060:05

    EngineerOkay, there's insufficient time for that downshift between four and five

  11. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:39:290:03

    Lando NORRISUh, something's happened?

    EngineerWhat do you see, Landry? Or what do you feel? Well, just look at the revs, mate. It's like the throttle got stuck on or something. Over-revved like hell.

  18. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:43:480:09

    EngineerYeah, but it was it was revving into the limit cells. Yes, we see it and understand it. We're happy to continue

  19. Esteban OCONAlpine19:45:220:10

    EngineerOkay mate, for timing it would be in our interest to box at the end of this lap, it would be nice to get another one in. Currently we're P7 with that time.

  20. Jack DOOHANAlpine19:46:110:06

    EngineerSo we can go recharge off coming out of turn three and try and learn six through eight

  21. Isack HADJARAlphaTauri19:46:360:15

    Isack HADJARAt the moment, it's quite on the under-3 side, mid-corner phase, whether it's slow speed or medium speed.

  22. Jack DOOHANAlpine19:47:120:07

    EngineerKeep an eye out for the crew there outside your garage

  31. Oliver BEARMANHaas19:58:380:13

  68. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo20:35:510:10
