26 radio messages were recorded during practice 2 at the Monaco Grand Prix 2019, across 14 drivers. 23 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Nico HULKENBERG had the most, with 5.
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.

Sergio PEREZI touch the wall
EngineerFront
Sergio PEREZor rear? Front.
Kevin MAGNUSSENI think after a cool lap, it takes two laps to go again, so unless we have that, no thanks.
Engineerseconds behind on a push lap but as two seconds
Max VERSTAPPENYep, Eve is holding me up.
EngineerSo the front tyre temperature seems a bit low.
Charles LECLERCYeah, but I'm pushing and they don't warm up enough.
Daniil KVYATWe excited the brakes. In the small braking they are poor. No bite.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerSo perfect.
EngineerOk, that's a good lap Alex, good job, shame about the wheelspin in turn 6 exit
EngineerIt
Nico HULKENBERGwas quite a messy run, all in all.
EngineerYep, copy that, Nico, but there's time in hand.
EngineerFront brakes are on
EngineerSo science will be trying again ahead.
George RUSSELLYep, stroller again. Thanks mate.
George RUSSELLunderstand medium-high speed
Nico HULKENBERGI see a lot of brake dust, coming out of
Engineerthe
Nico HULKENBERGfront right.
EngineerCopy that Nico, we do monitor where. OK Nico, watch for the brake pedal being long when you go out, watch for the brake pedal being long when you go out.
Nico HULKENBERGI definitely feel that I'm losing brake efficiency.
EngineerCopy.
Sebastian VETTELWhich tire set did you put? Is
Engineerthat
Sebastian VETTELthe first or the second one? Ah, that is ***.
EngineerAnyways,
Sebastian VETTELis the second set warm? It's warming up.
EngineerSo the front temps have dropped, the front temps have dropped recently with some slow laps, now is the balance, is the limit, the limit, the front? The
George RUSSELLlimit is four, we're sliding.
Nico HULKENBERGFront tires are pretty grey now as well.
Daniel RICCIARDOI can't get any more out of these. I could hold this for a little bit, but can't improve from this.
Audio only, no transcript
Engineersorry from the grid so we do need yeah we need to stop well what do you want me to do this is the point like this yeah but if we get it under control then you can push for a few laps at the end
Daniel RICCIARDOThe areas get pretty difficult
EngineerOK, Nico, we're going to have to save brakes again, I'm afraid, we're going to have to save brakes again.
Nico HULKENBERGHow long until the end of this session?
EngineerThree laps, including this one. I
Nico HULKENBERGtold you earlier, the breakaway was high.
George RUSSELLIn hindsight this was not a good decision to put these tyres on. I can't go faster, I'm just losing all the temp. I've almost lost it twice already.
