- 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix · Practice 1“Yeah, please do the next one, give me something for absence, would be not good. Copy that, thank you.”
- 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix · Practice 2“I already lost one tip to a truck, so I don't know. Take it to court, but it's not the same. Copy that Max, so we can see why you didn't have quite as much to clobber to turn on.”
- 2026 Monaco Grand Prix · Race“What's it like here? Just bring it home for these guys.”
- 2026 Monaco Grand Prix · Race“Nice.”
- 2026 Monaco Grand Prix · Qualifying“You know that? What the f*** are you doing? No, it's mechanic. No need to get...”

- 2026 Monaco Grand Prix · Qualifying“Ah, hard luck mate, four hundredths, it's front row, front row. Ah, ah, it's a shame, it's a shame, but still, I think that, that, guys, ah, that's a shame, but still, still good result. Absolutely mate, came off, well done.”
- 2026 Monaco Grand Prix · Qualifying“Well done Max, that was nailed, and more than that, I think you deserve that, a bit more than that P2, but it's a mega good news for everyone, well done. Yeah, I mean, it was a good 3, I think we had a massive jump, so well done.”
- 2026 Canadian Grand Prix · Race“Copy that Max, box, switch to select, confirm.”
- 2026 Canadian Grand Prix · Race“Good job Max, we didn't fight out there today I think. Well done. Yeah, it's just a shame we didn't have the tyre attack for the final scene. Really difficult but good job. That's the first road in.”
- 2026 Canadian Grand Prix · Qualifying“I can't get my front tyres in the window, like, it's really, really bad. Like, I went yesterday in the island, it's like I'm driving on ice. Copy that.”
- 2026 Canadian Grand Prix · Qualifying“What's going on with this straight line speed because it's bleeding.”

- 2026 Canadian Grand Prix · Sprint“I cannot save it. I wear it, it's hopping like crazy.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“This is good for now, Max. We may wish to be going longer, so just keep on top.”

- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“He's going to need to be 1 .5 seconds quicker than you, Emery Luck. I'll keep you posted.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“Is Schwarz catching it or not? Fairly equal pace, Max, between them. Last lap was a couple of tenths quicker, but nothing drastic.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“Max, you have given everything. You can be proud of that, mate. Hold your head up high. We showed that one final time in this class. Congrats, guys. When we come back in the second half of this season, we can be really, really proud of that. Don't be too disappointed. I'm definitely not disappointed. I'm really proud of everyone. We never give up.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 3“The problem is that the car still jumps. I can't even see my feet on the pedals.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Qualifying“That's two pole position laps, Max. It's a good start. Let's f***ing go, guys. Let's see. Yes! Lovely!”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Qualifying“Unbelievable speed, Max. Just pure speed. Yeah, fantastic work, guys. That's a great, great ball fight. So, let's have some fun out there tomorrow.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“Ok, you've got Leclerc Jr. at 3 seconds. I find it quite funny you call him Jr.”
- 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“I don't have something broken on the car. Where are the main areas of issue? Well, it's everywhere now.”

- 2025 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“Point extreme balance sheet, straight to left -hand borders.”
- 2025 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“Expect McLaren's to push hard on the restart to lap 25 max, obviously they've got to do their best to generate as much of a gap as possible to you. I can't let them go too far away. No, but we just need the two fastest stints.”
- 2025 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“Front left looks more robust on Gasly's car, less graining than the medium tyre runners, so it should be more robust, obviously fuel load is down, this is now very similar to the sprint race max, but you are on a more robust tyre.”
- 2025 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“Okay Max, this race is Oscar who's pitted early and he is looking to chase you down now.”
- 2025 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“Not sure what happened to Antonelli, looks like he just pulled over and let Norris through.”
