Hungarian Grand Prix 2019: Practice 3 team radio

24 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Hungarian Grand Prix 2019, across 14 drivers. Carlos SAINZ 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, and the original audio is playable in the archive.

  23. Lance STROLLRacing Point
