62 radio messages were recorded during practice 2 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024, across 17 drivers. 61 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Max VERSTAPPEN 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.

  5. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber07:00:570:05

    ZHOU GuanyuLet me know when they recover. Doesn't feel too good in detail time

  6. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber07:01:460:06

    ZHOU GuanyuIt feels really long, the pedal, but we'll see later.

  7. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber07:04:550:15

    ZHOU GuanyuBut did you get what I said? I mean, yes, yes, we are looking into it Through the corner. I'm pushing it more down and down more deeper deeper

    EngineerFirst up and for behind you're pushing

  8. George RUSSELLMercedes07:05:190:04

    George RUSSELLThe vibration of the rest

  9. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:05:590:11

    Alexander ALBONI'm just mainly mid-corner. I think a bit of that was just the front not being ready at the start of the lap.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:06:270:10

    EngineerWhat's your thoughts on the flap adjust? Plus 4?

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's right.

  11. Yuki TSUNODARB07:08:160:10

    Yuki TSUNODAI think the Palace is not too far away, just building up pace I guess.

  12. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas07:09:040:10

    Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's

    Engineera

    Kevin MAGNUSSENbit of a still some understand mid-corner a few places 25 12

  13. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:09:320:04

    Max VERSTAPPENAre there any cars in front?

    EngineerJust gasoline.

  14. Jack DOOHANAlpine07:11:330:08

    EngineerActually, it was just about to say, actually slightly quicker than PA on that one, a couple of hundredths quicker, so good job.

  15. Liam LAWSONRB07:14:410:04

    Liam LAWSONAt this rate we won't be what is he doing?

  16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:16:130:06

    Max VERSTAPPENThe front wing like we have, is it a bit underweight for good normal or not?

  17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:16:180:05

    EngineerWe have no reference really, Max, as you're aware.

  18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:16:230:06

    Max VERSTAPPENBut a bit of reference from last year and out of tracks

  19. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:20:130:07

    Alexander ALBONWe do an outlet like that, we call a single call by the time I've done half the track.

  20. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:20:210:03

    EngineerI can't control the cars ahead.

  21. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:20:250:06

    Alexander ALBONI know, but if we called earlier than that, we would have been okay.

  22. Yuki TSUNODARB07:20:500:11

    Yuki TSUNODAIf I make a reference for last push, we're missing, maybe it's not too far away to be honest.

  23. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams07:22:580:04

    EngineerYou need fast charge, fast charge, you need to do the in-lap for the charging.

  24. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams07:24:090:04

    Franco COLAPINTOYeah, I think I braked on the car or something

  25. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams07:24:420:08

    Franco COLAPINTOIt felt like I looked at the front or right bottom when I braked or something.

    EngineerOk, we're looking.

  26. Jack DOOHANAlpine07:28:300:19

    EngineerOkay so on this outlet once we get going we're going to be looking to keep our top speed at about 200 kph going down to turn 5 so nice and steady down there and then we're going to look to be nice and gentle throttle application out of 5 and 7.

  27. Charles LECLERCFerrari07:29:590:07

    Charles LECLERCWhat's going on? I

    Engineerdon't know taking ages. Yeah taking ages

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari07:30:530:05

    Charles LECLERCI don't have tire temperature.

    EngineerCopy.

  29. Sergio PEREZRed Bull07:31:160:09

    Sergio PEREZA bit of a limitation. Fanac Moner is quite in the rear now.

  30. Lando NORRISMcLaren07:32:140:08

    Lando NORRISI don't know if it was just traffic, had a lot of traffic at 9, so I didn't feel as bad.

  31. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren07:32:330:08

    EngineerPurple C13, position 12. Purple C13, position 12. We've boxed this lap.

  32. Carlos SAINZFerrari07:33:000:07

    Carlos SAINZIt's just a scrappy lap with the traffic in

    EngineerSector 1 and Sector 3.

  33. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes07:36:150:07

    Lewis HAMILTON61 is only a few corners, where is that time?

    EngineerTurn 1, mid speed

  34. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes07:36:230:03

    EngineerOkay

  35. Lando NORRISMcLaren07:37:000:07

    EngineerTry and learn what you can, but happy to bail.

    Lando NORRISYeah, I will bail.

  36. Charles LECLERCFerrari07:37:300:09

    Charles LECLERCAnd box Charles, box. It's

    Engineera

    Charles LECLERCvery short preparation, we need to anticipate things a bit more, so yeah.

  37. Pierre GASLYAlpine07:41:260:08

    Pierre GASLYYeah, I think I'm not too sure about the front bar we're having at the moment. It just feels a bit lazy, the front.

  38. Yuki TSUNODARB07:43:030:11

    Yuki TSUNODAI would say a bit better, I would say similar balance as first push, but it would go better a little bit.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  39. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:43:340:04

    EngineerWe're looking at 11.11 time lapse please Max.

  40. Charles LECLERCFerrari07:47:010:07

    EngineerDRS off.

    Charles LECLERCI was overtaking.

  41. Yuki TSUNODARB07:49:260:07

    EngineerShould I just follow Max or back off? I think you can follow Max. He's going to open a gap.

  42. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:56:090:05

    Alexander ALBONLuke, can we try something for 13 and 14?

  43. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren07:56:270:12

    EngineerTest orange pork 10, orange pork 10. And Oscar, your turn nine is very strong. Just make sure that doesn't start pushing to understeer.

  44. Carlos SAINZFerrari07:56:550:08

    Engineercan you let me drive without modes or i get to get into a real movie yeah that was a test item and then we can do what we want

  45. Liam LAWSONRB07:57:550:08

    EngineerOK, much better than 6.7 Z-slop, reminder track limit is 21, marginal.

    Liam LAWSONYeah, if it's marginal, it's not a track limit.

  46. Jack DOOHANAlpine07:59:340:08

    Jack DOOHANEasy, can I make

    Engineerit

    Jack DOOHANmore room or do I have to stay this close?

    EngineerJust keep your pace up please, let's make sure we get the flag.

  47. Charles LECLERCFerrari08:01:550:07

    Charles LECLERCI think we did too many laps on those tyres before long running them. They were quite a bit damaged

  48. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren08:03:300:06

    EngineerAnd once you've got that, C12 for 240 kph.

  49. George RUSSELLMercedes17:07:070:08

    George RUSSELLQuite a lot of vibrations with the rack.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  50. Jack DOOHANAlpine17:13:100:09

    EngineerWas that too much pressure? Is that why I locked the front right? Yeah, you locked both front and rear there. So just being a little bit too ambitious I think on that braking point

  51. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:13:250:11

    EngineerSorry, engine drivability low RPM, was that Max?

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's not powering. It's still the understeer, it's ridiculous.

  52. George RUSSELLMercedes17:17:560:08

    George RUSSELLCopy, it's still reasonably toasty.

    EngineerCopy that.

  53. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:19:200:12

    EngineerMax, how is the ride, please?

    Max VERSTAPPENWell, it's bad. It's really my problem. The front axle is not working.

  54. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:20:230:08

    Charles LECLERCI don't know if I destroyed the black.

    EngineerAnd we'll check box Charles box.

  55. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:32:270:06

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the front axle still doesn't grip up.

  56. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:36:140:10

    Charles LECLERCAh, half of the grid is freaking slipping.

    EngineerCopy. They are in the middle of the way. Four.

  57. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:51:090:15

    Max VERSTAPPENUm, R23, I hit the quite hard, like, on the blank, for your information.

    EngineerInformation received, thank you.

  58. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:51:540:05

    EngineerThe

    Charles LECLERCinstalls

    Engineerare

    Charles LECLERCvery much great.

  59. George RUSSELLMercedes17:52:180:12

    EngineerCurrently, you are managing turn 15 more than others.

    George RUSSELLWhat do you mean, currently? I've done one lap.

  60. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:56:080:08

    EngineerPiastri 29.2

    Charles LECLERCYeah, they are so close

  61. George RUSSELLMercedes17:57:400:07

    George RUSSELLThree is just moving everywhere, just sliding their shoes about.

  62. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren18:05:320:05

    Oscar PIASTRIIf we can have two stops like that on Sunday, we'll be pretty happy.
