67 radio messages were recorded during race at the Italian Grand Prix 2019, across 14 drivers. 61 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Charles LECLERC had the most, with 10.

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.

    EngineerOnce Stroll takes his penalty we'll want to close up to Perez and Magnussen as quickly as we can.

  24. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:37:180:09

    EngineerIf you want more flexibility, you can go pink stretch seven, but it will cost you a tenth for two laps, and there'll be a bit more energy.

  25. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:39:580:12

    EngineerAnd Charles, at the moment we are thinking tyre compound of plan A, but going to plan B.

  26. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:41:310:10

    EngineerAll I can

    Romain GROSJEANdrive is that brake balance and I've got lower retardation. I honestly don't know what's going on, but yeah, 1% too much able at least.

  58. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:11:140:09

    EngineerDoing a great job there Nico. Gap to Arbonne, 6.1 seconds. Obviously you're picking up the tow from the cars ahead now. It's Grosjean and Kubica a lap down.

  59. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:12:160:09

    EngineerCheco, tyres are okay, but for your info, if we push harder we expect overheating and performance will drop.

  64. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:22:490:11

    Lewis HAMILTONYeah.

  65. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:24:300:09

    EngineerSo this will be strap mode 5 for the next lap. This lap you could use strap 1 out of 7 just to charge the pack up to the brim.

  66. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:25:280:05

    EngineerOkay, boost on, leave it on. Boost on and leave it on.

  67. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:27:080:12
