38 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the British Grand Prix 2019, across 15 drivers. 37 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lewis HAMILTON had the most, with 9.

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.

The session, message by message

  1. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:59:560:04

    Audio only, no transcript

  2. George RUSSELLWilliams11:11:270:06

    EngineerIt's potentially level two right now, level two.

  3. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:12:170:07

    EngineerReminder, we have the same brakes as yesterday for now.

    Alexander ALBONCopy.

  4. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:13:190:06

    Alexander ALBONJust a little bit of... yup, it's coming down.

    EngineerCopy that.

  5. Daniel RICCIARDORenault11:15:030:06

    EngineerOkay, that's Leclerc in front of you also going out on intermediate

  6. Daniel RICCIARDORenault11:17:550:22

    Daniel RICCIARDOOK, brakes were good, yeah you can see there's like a light film of water on top of the track, I could see Leclerc's

    Engineertyre, like tyre tracks behind

    Daniel RICCIARDOhim, so it would certainly be slick on a dry

    Engineertyre.

  7. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:18:200:08

    EngineerCould we have an Aero P4 5th gear cruise at the exit of 14 please?

  8. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:20:550:08

    EngineerJust a reminder for this tarmac, it can be quite slippery and difficult to get the tyres to work.

  9. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:21:100:06

    EngineerOK Lewis, just be mindful this new tarmac may be slippy in places.

  10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:22:100:08

    EngineerYeah, so if you want to just get a balance check just in case we have anything like this in calling

  11. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:23:040:12

    EngineerI

    Lewis HAMILTONthink it's something you probably just need to get out on the slicks

  12. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:23:360:10

    EngineerI'm about to complete the test item straight away, so it will be strat 8. And remember, overtake push out of 5.

  13. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:24:330:12

    EngineerThe

    Valtteri BOTTAStyres are getting cappered so...

    EngineerCopy, Sir Lewis is boxing for the dry tyre. Suggesting to box at the end of this lap. Copy.

  14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:26:200:05

    Carlos SAINZDo I have the flap for inter or? Inter

  15. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso11:27:270:17

    EngineerHow is the condition Danny?

    Daniil KVYATIt's pretty dry, so very light rain. Box, box. It's mainly raining here in the last part of the chicane.

  16. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:31:520:08

    EngineerJust think about consecutive laps, you have strap 14 available if you need to use it.

  17. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:33:400:09

    EngineerThe rears are very on the cold side, so use the brake adjuster rearward which you have and just do what you can to warm the rears.

  18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:35:290:24

    Lewis HAMILTONHow bad is that oscillation?

    EngineerOut of turn 8, turn 9 It's definitely requiring 7th gear there I'll feed back any thoughts Lamy has

    Lewis HAMILTONSo that's nice, not damaging the engine

    EngineerThat's a no issue scene at the moment Is

    Lewis HAMILTONanyone else on the lap?

    EngineerSo Bound 3 is just under 27.5

  19. Pierre GASLYRed Bull11:36:130:12

    Pierre GASLYI can hear a strange noise, a strange noise when I'm off throttle from the turbo, from the engine.

  20. Daniel RICCIARDORenault11:38:280:10

    Daniel RICCIARDOWhat the ****?

    EngineerCopy that.

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I got the report.

    EngineerOK, let's go recharge on, and let's try again next lap.

  21. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:39:260:05

    EngineerSuggest brake 3 for front locking.

  22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:40:400:04

    EngineerAnd don't drop too much temp.

  23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:41:200:12

    Lewis HAMILTONHow's that pace?

    EngineerSo it was three purples, Leclerc's just put in a purple first sector.

  24. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:43:330:06

    EngineerAnd we're currently in P6. We're the quickest of the medium runners.

  25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:45:500:25

    EngineerOK, that'll be P2, a couple of tenths behind Bottas and a purple sector 3. We can box for a little bit more turnaround time in the garage, or one more lap, up to you. Yeah, let me know what you want to know. You want to box? Yeah, up to you if you want another lap, or if you're happy with the balance, just getting laps on the board, we can stay out at...

    Max VERSTAPPENI'm happy with the balance.

    EngineerOK, stay out for one... One lap then, yep. Yep, one more lap, at least start one more lap.

  26. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:48:100:07

    Charles LECLERCThey stay in the middle, honestly.

    EngineerOK, copy that.

  27. George RUSSELLWilliams11:49:030:12

    EngineerSame

    George RUSSELLthing's happened again.

    EngineerNot

    George RUSSELLsure what happened there. Copy, alright, steady on the way in. Very odd, it's just reselected the gear.

    EngineerOkay, just stuck in the box anyway.

  28. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:50:230:07

    EngineerSo Vettel behind has just finished his push, so you're in sync with Vettel behind.

  29. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:51:350:05

    EngineerAnd Lewis just done a 26-1 in strut two.

  30. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:53:540:22

    Charles LECLERCInstead of doing the high fuel, do you think we can stop, go like plus 4, plus 5, front wing and go again?

    EngineerCome back to you. OK, so stop in front of the garage and let me know the adjustment.

    Charles LECLERCPlus 4.

    EngineerCopy.

  31. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:54:460:13

    EngineerFound some time sector 2 and 3. So currently P4 Leclerc first with 25.9 and Vettel also 25.9.

  32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:55:570:08

    EngineerSo there's P3 at the moment, look like still P1, Vettel P2, both of those look like they've gone up on PU.

  33. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:57:340:06

    Lewis HAMILTONYeah, the cars not got a lot more to give

  34. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:58:120:08

    EngineerThere will be a quick turnaround, so we need to be ready to go as soon as possible.

  35. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:58:250:07

    Carlos SAINZYeah, you didn't tell me about Magnussen there. Got traffic with him.

  36. Nico HULKENBERGRenault12:01:070:11

    EngineerSo, we need to learn first gear, please learn first gear, you're going to the grid to do a start, cool the car as much as you can.

  37. Carlos SAINZMcLaren12:02:280:20

    EngineerOkay, Carlos, so we'll stay out for the launch. If possible, we'd like to push turn 15 to try the left-hand side toggle again. Push turn 15 and try the left-hand side toggle. And then for the launch, it'll be the new style long bike point find, three burnouts and a second gear launch from the left-hand side.

  38. Charles LECLERCFerrari12:06:140:11

    EngineerAnd you stop in front of Sébastien, stop in front of Sébastien. Yeah, I

    Charles LECLERCcouldn't push, step was too slow.

    EngineerCopy, understood.
