18 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2024, across 9 drivers. 17 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 3.

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.

  1. George RUSSELLMercedes11:44:100:10

    George RUSSELLI've got something in my left elbow aggravating me, if we could just take a look.

    EngineerThere you go.

  2. Yuki TSUNODARB11:46:020:16

    Yuki TSUNODAIs the front load okay? I feel like quite... I don't feel much grip from the front.

    EngineerWe're having a look.

    Yuki TSUNODAIt's not that mean, it's understood, but just I don't feel that much grip.

    EngineerCopy.

  3. Esteban OCONAlpine11:50:450:08

    Esteban OCONgot a problem. I have no power.

    EngineerOK, understood.

  4. George RUSSELLMercedes11:53:400:21

    George RUSSELLYeah, just sliding both axles everywhere and even the grip on the rear through 17-18 was very weak I'd probably be inclined to make the change on the rear for the next run, leaving the front

  5. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:56:550:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  6. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber11:56:570:14

    EngineerWould you still like that mechanical change? Yes. On the front or the rear? I'm quite easy. Okay, I think I'll take it on the rear. The car feels quite lazy in high speed. Okay, then I'll take it on the front.

  7. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:58:140:08

    Charles LECLERCNo, I took the out on the outside... on the outside.

    EngineerOkay, no worries.

  8. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:07:460:11

    George RUSSELLup he has a pole right pole

  12. Lance STROLLAston Martin12:25:030:15

    Lance STROLLNow there's a huge understeer in the car, mid-corner. Lance, would you consider a flap adjust? You've got Behrman pushing in six. No, it's mechanical balance.

  13. Yuki TSUNODARB12:26:480:05

    Yuki TSUNODAMy car is bouncing like hell

  14. Lance STROLLAston Martin12:28:070:16

    EngineerSo Lance, just looking across cars, it's really sector 1, so it's... Yeah, braking turn 1, too late, it's early turn 2, all the things... Yeah, exits 1 and 2, braking turn 3 a little bit as well, but you are the same, exit 2 and 3.

  15. Lance STROLLAston Martin12:32:120:12

    Lance STROLLJust box. That's just box. Okay, you've got Paris in three. I

    Engineerdon't want to

    Lance STROLLdrive like this anymore. Paris in two. Right now. I have to change something. Template's broken in the car.

  16. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber12:32:280:04

    EngineerUnderstood.

  17. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:34:200:17

    Lewis HAMILTONYeah, of course, Alonso hasn't had that. Yeah, Alonso was fast, double-cooled fast, and then kept pushing sector 1 by the look of it. Yeah. Yep.

    EngineerNo surprise.

    Lewis HAMILTONYep.

  18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:35:590:08
