Austrian Grand Prix 2024: Sprint team radio

85 radio messages were recorded during sprint at the Austrian Grand Prix 2024, across 20 drivers. 60 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Oscar PIASTRI 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, and the original audio is playable in the archive.
