41 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Canadian Grand Prix 2019, across 16 drivers. 39 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lewis HAMILTON had the most, with 5.

    Kevin MAGNUSSENI think the track is pretty poor. Yeah, okay,

    Engineerthat's okay. Right now you're P1, you're 0.4 quicker than Roman.

  4. George RUSSELLWilliams19:07:550:07

    George RUSSELLAnything I need to do with diffs for turn 3, I had a massive moment.

  11. Nico HULKENBERGRenault19:16:190:10

    Nico HULKENBERGWhy do you release me to such a traffic on sector 1? So we had to go, Russell

    Engineerbehind you, remember we're doing a prep lap so we can find a gap.

  12. Sergio PEREZRacing Point19:21:130:04

  19. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas19:32:480:04

    Kevin MAGNUSSENI think it's very difficult to get it on the post.

  20. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas19:33:100:06

    EngineerMost of the cars are doing first push most are doing first push and people try a second one and then bail

  21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:33:390:14

    Max VERSTAPPENUnbelievable, so many cars, no grip on these rails, unbelievable, and all the chicanes.

  27. Alexander ALBONRed Bull19:58:480:11

    EngineerWe will review what happened at the bridge, we will review what happened at the bridge

    Alexander ALBONYeah but I didn't do the traffic on that so it's not really about the bridge, but anyway

    Valtteri BOTTASgood, all good.

  31. Daniel RICCIARDORenault20:11:090:10

    Daniel RICCIARDOI lost the rear a little bit from the start of the lap, so maybe we'll just go one click up instead of two.

  32. Carlos SAINZMcLaren20:12:190:08

    EngineerOkay Carlos, looks like we picked up a bit of rear locking in turn one. There's a tiny bit more tailwind but possibly the used tyres having a bigger effect.

  33. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:14:210:14

    EngineerMain loss down the straights basically you lose breaking into ten and you lose Breaking into six, but apart from that it's all down the straights because you've got no tow

  34. Carlos SAINZMcLaren20:17:250:07
