El inglés se convirtió en una lengua de contacto que permite comunicarse a personas que no comparten la misma lengua materna. Esta práctica puede observarse precisamente en la comunidad de la Fórmula 1, donde se agrupan personas que comparten distintas culturas e idiomas. Esta sociedad tan diversa y multicultural, es un campo todavía inexplorado en lo que concierne a la lingüística. Como consecuencia, este trabajo pretende explorar los rasgos lingüísticos encontrados en el medio básico por el que los participantes de la Fórmula 1 interactúan, las conversaciones de radio. El estudio está basado en los aspectos léxicos, gramaticales y pragmáticos más relevantes de este género tan específico, y el corpus se compone de setenta y siete ejemplos extraídos de catorce grandes premios de la temporada de Fórmula 1 del 2020. Los resultados del análisis se complementan con las respuestas de algunos profesionales actuales y ya retirados de la Fórmula 1 a un breve cuestionario en línea. En la última sección de este trabajo se exponen las conclusiones del estudio, que reflejan que los miembros de esta disciplina deportiva cuentan con excelentes habilidades comunicativas, en cuanto a precisión y fluidez se refiere, cuando se comunican en inglés como Lengua Franca a través de las radios.
