29 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Singapore Grand Prix 2023, across 15 drivers. 28 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Carlos SAINZ had the most, with 3.

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.

    Carlos SAINZWhich use brakes are they, rookie?

    EngineerThey're not the Monza, Monza? No, no, no, they're out of the pool, and they are from Belgium, good warm-up on the brakes, anyway.

  5. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo10:38:180:06

    ZHOU GuanyuThe Wraith is going after the 2 push. Copy.

  6. Alexander ALBONWilliams10:39:080:06

    Alexander ALBONCar feels a bit lazy, that's my main feeling right now.

    EngineerCopy that.

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:39:280:13

    Max VERSTAPPENOkay, quite aggressive downshifts, and I struggle a bit to exit all the time, a lot of movies stare in every corner basically.

  8. Sergio PEREZRed Bull10:40:080:09

    Sergio PEREZStruggle to see the apexes, so I might need to come up a bit with the seat.

  9. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren10:44:090:11

    EngineerAnd Oscar, how's the balance?

    Oscar PIASTRIYeah, it's slowly getting there, slowly getting more regrouped, but it's just low group conditions at the moment.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:46:110:11

    Max VERSTAPPENIn the low speed, from max steering angle to opening up, I just have no traction and no missteer.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  11. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:49:530:09

    Charles LECLERCI saw some instability and breaking. Do you think the last lap was going in the right direction?

    EngineerI will come back to you.

  12. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:52:040:24

    Lando NORRISI struggled a little bit with the ride from the rear in the last corner, just when I clipped the kerb, but generally everything else is okay. Slow speed ride, I would say I'm pretty happy. Probably the place I struggle the most is, I have no idea what corner number, like the left hander when you use no brakes, 10.8 or something, 10.8 I think.

    EngineerCool.

  13. Esteban OCONAlpine10:54:480:11
