24 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Italian Grand Prix 2018, across 13 drivers. 23 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Brendon HARTLEY had the most, with 4.

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.

  3. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso12:03:490:08

    EngineerThe

    Pierre GASLYtrack is still pretty greasy with a couple of corners with the tree.

  4. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren12:11:420:08

    EngineerIf you want one more lap so you can learn, then we can do one more. Otherwise we box this lap.

    Lewis HAMILTONwas a bad idea, a bad idea.

  9. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull12:24:010:19

    EngineerDaniel, what I would say is the very left-hand side of the track going into Turn 1 near the white line That's where people are struggling with locking So maybe give a little bit margin on the first lap to the side of the track breaking into Turn 1

    Daniel RICCIARDOOkay

  10. Sebastian VETTELFerrari12:25:440:13

    Sebastian VETTELYeah, I have quite a bit of vibration, so not great, especially for sector 2 and 3.

  19. Romain GROSJEANHaas12:55:460:12

    Romain GROSJEANOh man, what's the Tosa doing?

  20. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso12:55:580:14
