Austrian Grand Prix 2026: Practice 3 team radio

12 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Austrian Grand Prix 2026, across 10 drivers. 11 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Franco COLAPINTO had the most, with 2.

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.
