44 radio messages were recorded during race at the Chinese Grand Prix 2025, across 12 drivers. 43 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 16.

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.

    Lando NORRISStarting to struggle a little left front.

  9. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:17:180:12

    Alexander ALBONWe're happy with tyres for now, but we are on the cricketer. Yeah, I'm good. I am good. I am better than everyone. Let's relax. I am very comfortable.

  10. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:19:260:07

    Charles LECLERCIf it stays like this, I won't plan A.

  11. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:20:240:07

    EngineerSo it would be too much traffic so we stick to plan B plan B

  12. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren15:21:370:09

    EngineerOscar, do you think we can make a Plan C target lap?

    Oscar PIASTRIAt the moment, I think it might be possible.

  13. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:24:320:09

    EngineerThese laps are good.

    Charles LECLERCAre we losing a bit of time now?

  14. George RUSSELLMercedes15:25:560:09

    George RUSSELLI think it's going to go one stop, keep it sending, from left, clearing up.

  15. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:35:270:09

    EngineerWe are swapping cars, turn 14.

    Lewis HAMILTONWhen he's closer, yes.

  16. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:36:240:10

    EngineerIf

    Lewis HAMILTONyou can't get the cars ahead, you can let us. Alright, it's back. Alright, now I'm closing up a little bit.

    EngineerI understood.

  17. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:36:540:11

    EngineerWe want to swap this now this lap now.

    Lewis HAMILTONI'll tell you when we can swap

  18. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:39:130:15

    EngineerWell done. I'm sorry about that. Keep pushing.

  19. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:42:220:15

    Lewis HAMILTONGive me some feedback guys. Come on. I need feedback of where I'm losing. Just give me

    EngineerX8-13, 1-3 to improve

    Lewis HAMILTONYeah, you told me that already

    EngineerThe rest seems good. Keep monitoring

  20. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:43:480:11

    Charles LECLERCMercedes is a truckster out of the 12. Unbelievable. The trucks that they have there, you don't believe them.

  21. Oliver BEARMANHaas15:46:100:07

    Oliver BEARMANWe're on it, let's take some action.

    EngineerYeah, we're on it Oli.

  22. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:49:210:10

    EngineerOkay, Lando, we'd like to use some of that pace then, please.

    Lando NORRISYeah, but I don't want to just push into the DTO of Oscar again.

  23. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:50:400:07

    EngineerAnd Lando, we've asked for the car ahead to help you.

  24. Oliver BEARMANHaas15:54:350:07

    Oliver BEARMANCiao. Thanks, Manali.

  25. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:55:560:10

    EngineerGo for plan C, plan C.

    Lando NORRISCan you tell him to just speed up a little bit? Because I'm in the dirty here.

  26. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:57:510:09

    EngineerSo far the hard looks like it's robust George behind has been told he's going to the end

  27. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:00:220:08

    EngineerWeather update. Small risk of rain. Last three laps up to class one.

  28. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:03:100:08

    EngineerIt's a good pace now, Max, and I bet it's later than ever. 20 laps remaining. Come on.

  29. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:05:430:17

    EngineerLano, from what we can see, our front left is a little bit worse than Oscar and Russell.

    Lando NORRISYeah, like I see the first little bits of groaning, but it feels OK for now still.

    EngineerOK, let's just be patient still, all right?

  30. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:06:580:10

    EngineerHow's the tyre Oscar? Can we do plan A?

    Oscar PIASTRII think we can go to the end.

  31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:14:210:10

    EngineerJust keep it up Max, obviously everybody's trying to hang it out now, don't know what can happen at the end

  32. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:15:590:10

    EngineerWe're losing some time in turn two maybe try one lap without using the curb

  33. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:17:160:08

    EngineerWeather update. Possible class a half on the last lap only.

  34. Yuki TSUNODARed Bull16:19:420:06

    Yuki TSUNODAWait, Flanwick Dummies from what?

  35. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:20:540:18

    Lando NORRISMy brake pedal's going a bit long. Yeah, the brake pedal's gone a lot longer. So

    Engineerit's been going long the whole time. We see it has stepped, yes.

    Lando NORRISYeah, now it's a lot longer. Like I would say, it's slightly gone.

    EngineerNo, I know. I know. I know, mate.

  36. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:22:030:09

    EngineerSo I know this is boring, so it's not the brake power that's changing, it's just the pedal that's going longer.

  37. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:23:230:11

    EngineerSo now the brake pedal will continue to get long.

    Lando NORRISHow big's the issue?

    EngineerIt'll get like half a mil longer per lap.

  38. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:24:110:18

    EngineerOkay, it's potentially getting to the floor. So it's getting work basically the front circuit will maintain pressure the rear will lose But you'll still get brake power. So you just have to be really cautious on the brakes. No risk

  39. Isack HADJARRacing Bulls16:24:560:09

    Isack HADJARMy moves moving so late man copy

    Engineeris in the investigation

  40. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:25:300:11

    EngineerSo Lando, we see you're quick. This is one of those things we discussed at Conveys over the year. I'd rather finish second than not at all. No hard braking.

  41. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:26:230:13

    EngineerMain loss 8-9. That's where all the gain is. Four-tenths there.

    Charles LECLERCYeah, I know. I know. You told me about 10 or 15 times. I know.

  42. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:31:570:10

    EngineerI know the brake situation has been getting critical.

    Lando NORRISYeah, I think the pedals are going flat.

  43. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:36:060:27

    EngineerWell done, Oscar. Great drive. Really good. Great job, mate. And it's a one-two for the team.

    Oscar PIASTRIYeah, mega job, guys. Mega, mega job. Thank you very much. Car was very lovely. And yeah, good work on reacting with the deck. So great team effort. And that is one satisfying weekend. Thank you, everybody. Thank you.

  44. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:36:490:15

    Lando NORRISWell done mate, well done.

    EngineerSorry about that, the brake pedal.

    Lando NORRISYeah, well done boys. Beautiful one too.
