Old Team Radios and Frequencies

TETRA radios were first introduced by the Sauber F1 Team in 2006. By 2016 the Riedel TETRA system became the de facto standard across most of the teams. Up until that point analogue radios were commonplace, with different digital radios introduced over time:

• McLaren: From 2014 to 2019 McLaren ran an encrypted NXDN9600 Kenwood radio system. In 2004, McLaren tested a bespoke Kenwood encrypted radio called the "McLaren Special". Initially VHF only this analogue radio with digital enhancements was based on the TK280 model. From 2005 to 2013 the race team used this bespoke radio now updated to the McLaren Special II model in a cross-band system configuration (VHF for the car channel, UHF for the pit channel) and based on the Kenwood TK380 portable. In 2008 an updated McLaren Special model was introduced based on the TK3170 portable. For 2020 McLaren switched to the Riedel TETRA system.
• Ferrari: From 1998 to 2006 Ferrari ran an Ascom Pentacom VHF encrypted radio system. From 2007 to 2014 they ran a private Selenia Puma encrypted TETRA radio system.
• Red Bull: Until 2010 Red Bull ran a UHF Kenwood analogue radio system
