Monaco Grand Prix 2019: Qualifying team radio
30 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix 2019, across 15 drivers. 24 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS 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.

Carlos SAINZ: Thank you guys. Good turn around. This is definitely another car to this morning. So these Q3s are new. Let's go and get them now in a good lap.
Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, we just don't have the grip.
Daniil KVYAT: Traffic with Valtteri, not a piece of salt but it cost me.
Sebastian VETTEL: Okay, again, need more front. Front's quite chattering. First sector, also sector 2 in particular. Last sector is a little bit better, but still no front. Yeah, so I would also ramp up aero balance and just give it a shot.
Engineer: Okay, bye all much.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah I know, tyres are cold, what was the most important we did, it was free track, what happens in Q3, no free track Yep,
Engineer: so obviously I've not got eyes on when Lewis is firing up, clearly he just beat us out And I can't control Daniel's slow lap pace either, he let Lewis through, didn't want to let you through, is what it is
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: So I'm afraid that's speed 2, 90 milliseconds to Lewis.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah that point 4 was pretty decent I think.
Engineer: Yeah looks like a good job mate, really good job. We can make a good day tomorrow from here, we can make a good day tomorrow from here.
