26 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Monaco Grand Prix 2019, across 10 drivers. 24 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 7.

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.

The session, message by message

  1. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso10:03:080:09

    EngineerAnd the constant speed position 3, 140 kph. Too late.

  2. George RUSSELLWilliams10:04:410:09

    George RUSSELLI'm going to go for another sort of semi-cold warm-up, the tires are very cold. Yeah, I'll go.

  3. George RUSSELLWilliams10:09:590:12

    EngineerWe're

    George RUSSELLlacking quite a lot of rear support, no confidence.

    EngineerI

    George RUSSELLthink I'm snatching up the entire front end of brake on farm.

  4. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:12:140:08

    Engineersurface temp still at the bottom of the window at the rear not entering the window at the front

  5. George RUSSELLWilliams10:13:080:07

    George RUSSELLWe can come down on air with balance for 12, 13, 14.

  6. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:18:340:12

    Alexander ALBONIt's okay. Just getting used to it. I'm not a big fan of us changing the front pads and not the rear because very sharp on the brakes in the front

    EngineerBut

    Alexander ALBONthey're getting better now

  7. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:23:190:11

    Nico HULKENBERGSquared bumpy exit of turn 7, I think the front wing is scrubbing the ground each time, there's sparks coming out of it.

  8. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:25:070:08

    EngineerDanny behind is on cool down as well, same again with the tyres, focus on keeping the front up and cooling down the rear, easy on exit

  9. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso10:28:060:07

    Daniil KVYATOkay, I need the temperature in the tires, so either he goes faster or he lets me by, I think.

  10. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:30:130:07

    Daniel RICCIARDOI'm getting some strange wheels spin out of the chicane and that's getting worse.

  11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:31:280:21

    EngineerOK, that one put you P2, again purple sector 3, Hamilton P1 on a 12.9, I think his first sector is 7 tenths quicker than ours. Second sector is 1 tenth down on Hamilton, and your third sector is 2 tenths quicker.

  12. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso10:37:410:08

    Daniil KVYATPlease the rating guys on the K is super annoying. Please do something about it

  13. George RUSSELLWilliams10:40:330:05

    EngineerOkay, track speed should be 1.1 seconds quicker now.

  14. George RUSSELLWilliams10:46:200:08

    George RUSSELLI just hit the wall, I'll just do a slow lap now to see if it's okay

  15. George RUSSELLWilliams10:47:400:17

    EngineerBit

    George RUSSELLof a relatively big hit.

    EngineerIt's OK from our side currently.

    George RUSSELLIs it possible for you to see rear toes or anything?

    EngineerNegative. That's down to your steering wheel.

  16. George RUSSELLWilliams10:50:170:05

    George RUSSELLI'm struggling a bit. Mitrovic

    Engineerto

    George RUSSELLF12 with the rear.

  17. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo10:55:540:05

    Antonio GIOVINAZZIMcLaren again.

    EngineerCopy Antonio.

  18. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:02:320:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  19. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:02:330:12

    EngineerI've got a massive flat spot And is the flat spot too much to drive on?

    Lando NORRISYeah it's pretty bad

    EngineerOk understood Lando, we will box this lap, please box this lap

  20. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:06:290:06

    EngineerI'm

    Lance STROLLpersonally the sixth time in the prime.

  21. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:09:250:02

    Audio only, no transcript

  22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:09:300:04

    Lewis HAMILTONI don't see the deadline

  23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:20:410:07

    EngineerOkay, so should be time for at least six potentially seven laps this run before the checkered flag

  24. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:23:510:07

    EngineerDo not over push, entry turn 7 and 8, focus, exit turn 8.

  25. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso11:26:160:07

    EngineerThink we can carry a bit more speed at turn 15 entry turn 15

  26. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:31:300:19

    Alexander ALBONThis is also a big limitation for me, this braking thing. Every time you tell me to go plus one the car just goes worse and worse. Feeling like I don't have any bite on the initial brake pressure.

    EngineerThe

    Alexander ALBONcar doesn't stop as well and then I get a bigger balance shift through the corner I feel like.
