20 radio messages were recorded during race at the Australian Grand Prix 2025, across 7 drivers. 17 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 8.

Each message is attributed to the driver or their engineer, and the original audio is playable in the archive.

Engineer: In seven minutes we expect class one lasting for five minutes. Class one.
Carlos SAINZ: I had like a massive torque surge.
Engineer: From the replays looks like doing lost it on straight just by putting a wheel on the white lines. Just watch the painted lines
Kimi ANTONELLI: Yeah, I almost did the same So yeah, they're quite slippery
Engineer: Weather update no significant rain expected for at least 30 minutes
Lando NORRIS: They're okay. I mean little bits in the last sector I actually think have some dry patches But some bits are still pretty pretty wet 100% in throughout the minute. Definitely not close to the wet
Engineer: But
Lando NORRIS: if it stays like this, it will dry up at some point if it doesn't rain
Engineer: Okay, understood
Engineer: Main tyre to cool down, front left.
Charles LECLERC: Too many information, if you can leave me to it a little bit more.
Engineer: In six laps time, there's possibly one lap of class one rain. General rain risk increasing.
Engineer: Good news. K-1, are you close?
Lewis HAMILTON: Leave me
Engineer: to
Lewis HAMILTON: it, please.
Engineer: K-1, available?
Lewis HAMILTON: Yes, I know. Leave me to it, please.
Max VERSTAPPEN: If we accept the break, we might need to pit for new.
Engineer: Bear in mind, we would currently lose positions for doing that. Max, we're expecting the weather to start clearing in 10 minutes. If you can hold on.
Engineer: Lando, a bit of an update. If there was a safety car, we think we would currently stay out on this set. This set is moving towards quick commedians. Yeah, agreed. If it rained more, we'd have to change.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, if it rains more, we'd change. If it stays like this, we're fine.
Engineer: Lost gear, Sink. Lost gear, Sink. Understood. We suggest BB3.
Engineer: To avoid the denied DRS, we suggest upshift and then DRS. Please leave it. Yes, please leave it. I'm running the car as we go, mate. Just leave me to it with the DRS. It's not an issue.
Engineer: In three laps, Class 3 rain expected, lasting for two laps. Class 3 is a lot. Yes, this is what we see for the radar, but we'll have to wait for it.
Lando NORRIS: Seems like it'll be next lap, no?
Engineer: We don't want to jump too early. Class half in pit lane.
Engineer: Rain could get pretty intense.
Engineer: Verstappen has derriss. The paces in the car do not overpush.
