Italian Grand Prix 2019: Qualifying team radio

16 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix 2019, across 12 drivers. Lance STROLL 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.
