23 radio messages were recorded during race at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025, across 9 drivers. 22 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Oscar PIASTRI 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.

  5. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:09:530:09

    Engineerunderstood Max.

  6. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:10:370:07

    Oscar PIASTRIHe was never gonna make that corner regardless of whether I was there or not

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:14:090:14

    EngineerUh, information. You have been given a five second time penalty for the incident at turn one. Head down. Oh, that is lovely. Yeah, no, yeah, no comment. Thank you.

  8. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:20:190:14

    EngineerWe have a track limit strike, turn two. That was for the incident at turn one, on lap one. I don't think we can count that, it was actually said in the briefing. Roger, understood.

  9. Alexander ALBONWilliams20:22:590:14

    EngineerJust think about your gap that car had with any overheating on the front.

    Alexander ALBONGuys do you not see there's a car right behind me as well? Are we not thinking about that?

  10. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:24:350:13

    EngineerHow's the pace? How's the tyres?

    Lando NORRISYeah, I mean, tyres are hot, so yeah, clean air would be incredible.

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:28:420:06

    EngineerOkay, mate, strat eight, strat eight, play the game.

  12. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari20:31:090:12

    Lewis HAMILTONThey're just sliding around out here, mate. Bounce in front of us.

    EngineerYeah, understood. We believe he's overheating. Try to gain the back.

  13. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:36:220:09

    EngineerStill pulling away from the cars behind Max. There's still traffic that we've been put into. Just keep going. This is a fantastic job.

  14. George RUSSELLMercedes20:41:530:07

    George RUSSELLI'm set up on B, let's

    Engineersee

    George RUSSELLhow we go.

  15. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin20:46:220:09

    Fernando ALONSOWow, he moved under braking. That was close. Wow, so close. Check the car.

  16. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:58:160:16

    EngineerLando's plan is to keep extending something like plan C, target plus four for him.

    Oscar PIASTRIYep, I think I'm starting to feel the dirty air a little bit, so it's not ideal for me at the moment.

  17. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:05:450:06

    EngineerWell done, Charles.

    Charles LECLERCThank you, Brian.

  18. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:07:140:13

    Oscar PIASTRIThere's like a red flashing light on a balcony into St John. It's really annoying. Looks identical to a red flag.

    EngineerCopy, we'll report.

  19. Carlos SAINZWilliams21:08:100:20

    Carlos SAINZI think you're being paranoid of our journey and our medium is never going to pass us. If you want me, I'll do it, but we have plenty of pace to pull away now.

    EngineerWe'd like first to get Alex in our DRS, and once in the DRS we use our pace.

    Carlos SAINZCopy.

  20. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:17:400:06

    Oscar PIASTRIway.

  21. George RUSSELLMercedes21:21:050:13

    George RUSSELLThis one left is not looking good at all, if you have any concerns about it getting to the end, I've got a band on the inside shoulder, it's opening.

  22. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:26:190:34

    Oscar PIASTRIVery well done. Lovely job, Oscar. Great work, mate. Really good. Yeah, well done, everyone.

    EngineerIt

    Oscar PIASTRIwas a little bit more difficult to start than I had hoped for, but yeah, very, very well done. Car was great. Dirty air, not so much, but I'm glad the dirty air is from lapping people. So well done, everybody. Massive three weeks, and let's keep it going.

    EngineerWe've

    Oscar PIASTRIgot a lot of fun to have this year. Yeah, great job.

  23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull21:27:050:36

    EngineerWhat can I say, mate? It's a well-expected race. Well done, guys.

    Max VERSTAPPENI tried to give it everything I had. But, yeah, it is what it is. We move on. This weekend has been a lot,

    Engineera lot positive for us. So, well done. Yeah, well done, Max. That was a good pace throughout the race. You finished 2.8 seconds behind Piastri. Obviously, that first corner, we've all got our opinions on. And, you know, good points today. But, most importantly, very good pace. Yeah, exactly that.

    Max VERSTAPPENWell done, everyone.
