86 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Australian Grand Prix 2024, across 20 drivers. 82 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.

  18. Lando NORRISMcLaren01:35:230:06

    Engineerto worry about just oscar ahead to go and no one else behind

  19. Sergio PEREZRed Bull01:35:290:16

    Sergio PEREZI'm generally very happy with the car. I'm just lacking a little bit of rotation. I'm very happy with the car.

  20. Sergio PEREZRed Bull01:35:450:07

    EngineerI'm

    Sergio PEREZreally happy with the car. I'm just lacking a little bit of rotation.

  21. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes01:36:320:08

    Lewis HAMILTONYes, brake pedals are really long.

    EngineerOK, copy.

  22. Lance STROLLAston Martin01:37:020:09

    EngineerAt last, we think left toggle for six and nine on the next lap. Left toggle for turn six and nine on the next lap. Tsunoda seven behind.

  23. George RUSSELLMercedes01:37:500:03

    George RUSSELLDo you want to do one more lap or did it make no sense?

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes01:37:530:03

    George RUSSELLYou want to do one more level? It makes no sense.

  25. George RUSSELLMercedes01:37:560:04

    EngineerGood boxes, man.

  26. Pierre GASLYAlpine01:38:550:17

    Pierre GASLYYeah, all the talk is wrong

    EngineerYep, copy that mate, so we'll box this lat Let's go recharge on if you can do an aero P4 fifth gear out of two P4 fifth gear

  27. Nico HULKENBERGHaas01:39:500:08

    Nico HULKENBERGWell, we're smoking the plank on the back straight there.

    EngineerOkay, understood.

  28. Esteban OCONAlpine01:40:210:11

    Esteban OCONIt wasn't too bad, just feel like I lost the reels a little bit in the

    Engineersecond to last corner Understood, so now we're done

  29. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren01:41:030:17

    EngineerOscar, for a pit stop flap adjust, what would you do?

    Oscar PIASTRII wouldn't go up, it's quite pointy, so if anything I'd go down, but I honestly think it's in a reasonable place.

  30. Lando NORRISMcLaren01:41:420:11

    Engineerif possible out of turn ten purple c3 position four purple c3 position four fourth gear careful of Perez who's about two seconds behind

  31. Sergio PEREZRed Bull01:43:070:10

    Sergio PEREZI can see that potentially we will have a problem getting into the high speed.

  32. Esteban OCONAlpine01:44:200:19

    EngineerMost cars are on the medium. There's a couple of soft runners at the front I was balanced that time watch for Joe behinds, please His GPS location doesn't look to be accurate. So keep your eye on your mirrors. He's on a slow lap

  33. Lance STROLLAston Martin01:45:260:05

    Engineeri lean on the front left it's on the low side but we're getting there so okay to push

  34. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas01:45:480:11

    EngineerOkay, Kev, so it'll be mode in once you cross the line. And then can we have a CSL2 after turn two? That's 100 kph. Next car is 12 seconds behind.

  35. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber01:47:380:03

    EngineerBut I got confused with the sign

  36. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber01:47:410:04

    ZHOU GuanyuI thought you told me to go ahead.

  37. Yuki TSUNODARB01:48:410:09

    Yuki TSUNODAYes, I feel like I'm already looking at the end of the braking in turn 3.

    EngineerOk, so let's do entry 7 instead of the offset.

  38. George RUSSELLMercedes01:50:180:06

    George RUSSELLBrakes feel better.

    EngineerCopy.

  39. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin01:54:340:06

    Fernando ALONSOYes, that was the core activity intent, yep.

  40. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin01:54:410:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  41. Alexander ALBONWilliams01:55:070:12

    Alexander ALBONGenerally the car's quite lazy, lacking quite a lot of fun bite, fun initial braking, feels like I'm down on load on

    Engineerthe

    Alexander ALBONfront when

    EngineerI hit the brakes. We'll just watch POTAX F5 then it's quiet.

  42. George RUSSELLMercedes01:55:330:07

    George RUSSELLI have lots of sparks, 8 out of 11, I think I'll run over some stones.

  43. Lando NORRISMcLaren01:56:120:10

    Lando NORRISYeah, I would just check the floor because I bottomed out pretty bad. Yeah,

    Engineerokay.

  44. Sergio PEREZRed Bull01:57:040:10

    Sergio PEREZI'm picking up a bit of understeer. Let's

    Engineergo

    Sergio PEREZhelp my plan.

    EngineerYeah, copy. Norris at five seconds.

  45. George RUSSELLMercedes01:57:570:09

    EngineerThere's something very slippery in the pit box. I keep locking the front sort of halfway through my braking

  46. Sergio PEREZRed Bull01:58:230:08

    Sergio PEREZShall we try the engine

    Engineerbraking? So, we have an engine braking Black

    Sergio PEREZdoes it

  47. Pierre GASLYAlpine01:58:500:03

    Pierre GASLYAlright, just have it pull on grip.

  48. Pierre GASLYAlpine01:59:210:06

    EngineerWe'll just keep working the tires. The surface temps are on the cold side.

  49. Pierre GASLYAlpine01:59:540:06

    Engineerso we're happy to go rearwards on the offset so we could go offset minus three

  50. Nico HULKENBERGHaas02:00:400:11

    Nico HULKENBERGWe're using, I guess, a lot of lap time there going down to 2.9.

    EngineerI

    Nico HULKENBERGthink that error balance is scrubbing the front more.

  51. Yuki TSUNODARB02:01:250:04

    EngineerSome weaving and nice braking.

  52. Carlos SAINZFerrari02:02:130:06

    EngineerThe wind is similar to the one before, all clear from behind, all clear.

  53. Sergio PEREZRed Bull02:03:190:05

    Sergio PEREZI think we're just working on a very new style, but yeah.

  54. Daniel RICCIARDORB02:04:040:10

    Engineer3 behind Call report Ok what's happening Daniel? Let's ride with the front 3 behind, start pushing 3 behind

  55. Lance STROLLAston Martin02:04:450:07

    EngineerOkay Lance, cool, cool, P2, purple middle sector, do you want to third push Lance?

  56. Lance STROLLAston Martin02:05:110:11

    Lance STROLLIt's really difficult on three and four.

    EngineerI

    Lance STROLLdon't know if you have any ideas. Help me with tools. Just feels like a balance is a bit everywhere.

    EngineerYeah, copy what I think.

  57. Carlos SAINZFerrari02:05:460:06

    Carlos SAINZYeah, the feeling on landing at higher is not greatest, similar to 22.

  58. Carlos SAINZFerrari02:07:110:07

    Engineerand just throw TAS aborted in front, and just throw pushing 6 seconds behind

  59. George RUSSELLMercedes02:07:490:07

    EngineerJust confirm everything alright with the car?

    George RUSSELLYeah, fine.

  60. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber02:08:510:07

    EngineerCan I help you?

    Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I'll get it.

    EngineerOkay, copy.

  61. George RUSSELLMercedes02:09:100:09

    George RUSSELLHold on, front under rotation into turn three,

    EngineerScott.

  62. George RUSSELLMercedes02:10:000:04

    George RUSSELLOoh, what did the high speed look like there?

  63. Daniel RICCIARDORB02:10:390:06

    Daniel RICCIARDOYes, so turn 6 is where I had a lot of understeer.

  64. Logan SARGEANTWilliams02:11:490:04

    Logan SARGEANTWell, I don't know what's happened with the tire.

  65. Alexander ALBONWilliams02:13:290:08

    EngineerOkay, yeah,

    Alexander ALBONsorry

  66. Lando NORRISMcLaren02:15:070:18

    EngineerAlbon's on the outside of turn 8.

    Lando NORRISYes, Mitchell Sturbury, worth checking the tyres. Is he alright? He looks pretty large.

    EngineerHe said he's okay, yeah.

  67. Lando NORRISMcLaren02:21:510:02

    Audio only, no transcript

  68. Lando NORRISMcLaren02:21:540:06

    Lando NORRISWell, you should have green lights earlier. I want to be first and now I'm f***ing lost.

  69. George RUSSELLMercedes02:23:010:07

    EngineerMagic for front lockup.

    George RUSSELLThat's what I felt on the fast

    Engineerlap before.

  70. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin02:23:280:07

    EngineerIt's quite clear ahead. You're looking good. Ocon's still nine seconds back.

  71. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber02:24:010:06

    EngineerGasly, for a second, we'll go for a live P-stop, live P-stop.

  72. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull02:25:160:09

    Max VERSTAPPENOh, but they're not quite hard there.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  73. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber02:26:100:09

    EngineerCan you repeat the job, please Vibration

    ZHOU Guanyuquite a lot

  74. Yuki TSUNODARB02:26:460:06

    Yuki TSUNODAI would say both are so different from how I mainly left off.

  75. Carlos SAINZFerrari02:28:070:09

    Carlos SAINZOh, I just got that, by the house behind, I think, with his front wing.

    EngineerCopy.

  76. Yuki TSUNODARB02:28:080:05

    Yuki TSUNODAI started to see a pond left crying.

  77. Sergio PEREZRed Bull02:29:360:04

    EngineerDaniel is low fuel. Low fuel, correct.

  78. Charles LECLERCFerrari02:30:040:06

    Engineerand mode raise when you can mode raise when you can

  79. Logan SARGEANTWilliams02:30:530:17

    Logan SARGEANTI think flap was okay. I feel like I needed more flap to protect the front. I have the front left opening up. But the problem was this veer snatching again. And the problem is it's not just low speed, but also high.

  80. Pierre GASLYAlpine02:32:370:08

    Pierre GASLYIs the first gear learned?

    EngineerWe're still missing first gear. Still missing first. We have it now.

  81. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull02:32:530:08

    Max VERSTAPPENI think my floor is damaged.

  82. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes02:33:090:06

    Lewis HAMILTON5 damage to floor.

    EngineerOK, we'll take a look.

  83. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren02:33:100:09

    EngineerOscar, in lap, out of turn 6, could we have purple C7 position 3, 160 kph?

  84. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren02:33:260:09

    EngineerIt's

    Oscar PIASTRIprobably the worst place, that Red Bull could have stopped.

    EngineerCopy.

  85. Lando NORRISMcLaren02:34:230:06

    EngineerNow the ewer target plus two, initial throttle slightly aggressive.

  86. Pierre GASLYAlpine02:34:500:07

    EngineerNo pit stop, no practice pit stop, so just follow the directions of the guys.
