35 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2018, across 14 drivers. 32 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Pierre GASLY had the most, with 7.

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.

  1. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:02:590:36

    EngineerThe track is a bit more dirty from the leaves and stuff. Okay, understood. And there are reports from Marshall of some drops of rain in 17, 18. So just be careful. Can you hear me? Now, yes.

  5. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso14:14:050:18

    EngineerYour

    Pierre GASLYsupport got better, but still a bit detraction, a bit snappy sometimes. I feel like I'm a bit more real limited on braking now, which helped me for big braking zone, but maybe with a lot of flow speed I have a bit of rear lock.

  6. Lance STROLLWilliams14:17:590:08

    Lance STROLLOkay, I'm really losing the rear towards the end of the lap.

  7. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:18:450:05

  10. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren14:24:380:09

    EngineerWhat do I do? Cool down and up I guess? Yeah, I suggest to let the tyres recover, let the tyres recover.

  11. Sergey SIROTKINWilliams14:25:170:07

    EngineerOkay Sergei, that's good. Let's take a cool down there. So target plus 10 for this cool down.

  12. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:28:040:15

    Romain GROSJEANOkay, sorry guys, I'm really struggling here

  13. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:30:440:08

  17. Nico HULKENBERGRenault14:36:320:08

    EngineerIf you're not planning any major car setup changes, you could do another slow and then fast.

  18. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso14:37:310:13

    Pierre GASLYBraxton I think is slightly better, considering the tires, but still the rear support is the main issue, and two of the low speed especially.

  19. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:38:110:04

    EngineerStraight out, straight out.

  20. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull14:39:360:10
