Canadian Grand Prix 2018: Practice 3 team radio

23 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Canadian Grand Prix 2018, across 13 drivers. Daniel RICCIARDO had the most, with 5.

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.
