Spanish Grand Prix 2025: Qualifying team radio
16 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix 2025, across 10 drivers. 15 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 3.
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, and the original audio is playable in the archive.
