40 radio messages were recorded during race at the Bahrain Grand Prix 2025, across 11 drivers. 33 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 7.

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.

    EngineerI don't know if you'd like a flap adjust?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, no, the car doesn't turn already. It's corner.

    EngineerDo you want more then?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, because I'm also oversteering on entry.

    Lewis HAMILTONGryphon,

    Engineeryou

    Lewis HAMILTONready to start? Understood.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:12:010:05

    Max VERSTAPPENLando is over his grid box.

  11. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:14:330:08

    Pierre GASLYLeclerc struggling a lot with the medium.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  12. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:15:490:12

    EngineerSo, Lando, we've been given a five-second penalty for out of position on the grid. If we can get past Russell, we need to try. We will recover these positions.

  13. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:17:200:09

    Charles LECLERCThese brakes are so inconsistent. It's so annoying.

    EngineerNot much we can do now.

  14. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari18:19:240:06

    EngineerThe soft are starting to struggle

  15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:21:520:04

    EngineerGo

    Max VERSTAPPENahead.

  16. Yuki TSUNODARed Bull18:24:470:07

    Yuki TSUNODAYellow was flashing then. Oh my god

  17. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:29:080:10

    EngineerAt the moment, we are still on plan B for Bravo. Plan B for Bravo.

    Charles LECLERCI think Delta for me.

  18. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:31:390:10

    EngineerAnd box this lap for mediums.

    Charles LECLERCAh, Delta, please consider it.

  19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:32:430:07

    Max VERSTAPPENI am so tired of this at all.

  20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:40:270:12

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I can't even brake anymore. It's just ridiculous.

    EngineerYeah, I understand Max.

  21. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:48:100:13

    EngineerOkay, Lando, the pace is good. Look, look, just the pressure tires. Neither of the cars ahead have another medium. That's our opportunity. Stay with them, mate. Doing well.

  22. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:51:350:09

    Lando NORRISWhy is my right red light on? I can't see at all.

    EngineerStandby for investigation.

  23. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari18:58:390:06

    Lewis HAMILTONGreat job at the stocks guys. Great job

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes19:00:300:08

    Engineer24 laps on a soft is pretty

    George RUSSELLaudacious.

  25. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:01:440:13

    EngineerOrlando, Russell's already worried about the soft for this length of stint. Yeah, I don't think he should be. I mean, the soft was mega.

    Lando NORRISI think it's

    Engineera

    Lando NORRISgood size.

  26. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari19:13:260:07

    Lewis HAMILTONHey Kyle, what's happening?

  27. George RUSSELLMercedes19:19:010:17

    EngineerSo George we have an issue affecting DRS. It's a timing issue only I can give you a default to override it

    George RUSSELLYeah,

    Engineeronce we do it you have to wait until I tell you you can use DRS

  28. Carlos SAINZWilliams19:20:460:13

    Carlos SAINZThey should investigate Juki, because what he did to me was just stupid exit in turn 1.

    EngineerThey did no further investigation.

  29. Carlos SAINZWilliams19:21:590:08

    EngineerCarlos, you've fought well today. Just that car is far too damaged, thank you for that. We will come back stronger next week.

  30. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren19:23:560:08

    EngineerRemember to use the drink.

    Oscar PIASTRII would if it was working.

    EngineerTen laps to go, ten laps.

  31. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:26:360:13

    Lando NORRISHe pushed me off. Yeah, that was very clear he pushed you off. I was all the way on the outside, like fully alongside on the

    Engineerapex.

    Lando NORRISI was like wheel to wheel, front wheels and front wheels.

  32. George RUSSELLMercedes19:27:250:15

    Engineerand George there is a chance we lose the dash just keep driving as normal if that happens.

    George RUSSELLAs long as the steering wheel doesn't fall off.

    EngineerI think you'll be alright

  33. George RUSSELLMercedes19:30:020:07

    George RUSSELLGet the **** out of the

    Engineersky

    George RUSSELLnow.

    EngineerBlue default 10.

  34. Pierre GASLYAlpine19:31:460:08

    EngineerThe snap has had two strikes for track limits now. He's getting frustrated. Let's keep it up.

  35. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:32:560:09

    EngineerLando, we've had our third strike, track limits, black-white flag, no more track limits.

  36. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:33:550:10

    EngineerSo Russell will be investigated potentially for using DRS when he couldn't so let's try and target five seconds to him

  37. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:35:450:08

    EngineerWe can only use DRS when we're 100% sure we're within it.

  38. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren19:40:380:37

    Oscar PIASTRISo, man, it's going to be one hell of a party tonight.

    EngineerWell done, mate. Well done. That's the first time we've won our second home Grand Prix. You've been pretty flawless all weekend, so great job.

    Oscar PIASTRIYeah, mega weekend, everyone. Mega. That was pretty damn fun. So thanks, everyone, for the car. Pretty special to do it here in Bahrain, so thanks to everyone that supports us out here. It's a busy weekend, and, yeah, thanks for all your support. It's been a long road to get here.

    EngineerNice job, Oli. Unbelievable. Thanks, man.

    Oliver BEARMANNeil to Oliver. Neil to Oliver. Points mean. I'm not saying anything, mate. We all know what points mean. Right, I'm jumping out. So stop talking to me now.

  40. George RUSSELLMercedes20:04:420:44

    EngineerGet in there. Yes. Well done, mate. Three

    George RUSSELLwheels on my wagon. P2. Brilliant driving. Brilliant job. Great job.

    EngineerGeorge, great job to bring that car over the line with soft tyres and with basically the BB brake power going passive. Really great, great, great, great.

    George RUSSELLGreat job. Thank you. That was not easy. I've even got my heart rate going now. No brakes, no steering wheel. What more do we need? At least it stayed on, though. Yes. Happy, happy, happy.
