14 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Chinese Grand Prix 2019, across 10 drivers. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 3.

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.

    EngineerAnd can you be a bit more specific on where you struggled the most at the rear?

    Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah so, probably more the entries, I think which then had an effect on the exits, but probably the lower speed entries, into 6, into 6 and 11, and

    Engineerthat hurt the exits. Battle 4 seconds behind you on the timelapse.

  9. Lando NORRISMcLaren04:43:470:30

    EngineerAnd Lando, how do you think was the front wing level? I'll explain later why I'm asking, we could add some more in.

    Lando NORRISYeah, I need to add some more, I would say, I've got one and a half.

    EngineerYep, okay, we'll box then please.

    Lando NORRISOkay, confirm.

    EngineerSo Lando, I'm going to add two holes, so we are box this lap, it'll be two holes of front wing. Copy.
