60 radio messages were recorded during practice 2 at the Miami Grand Prix 2023, across 17 drivers. 55 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL 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.

    Oscar PIASTRII think push again to be honest.

  23. Charles LECLERCFerrari22:54:400:17

    EngineerSo same wind direction and intensity, no one pushing behind Will be mode push for last corner, mode push

  24. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin22:54:570:19
