62 radio messages were recorded during practice 2 at the Bahrain Grand Prix 2024, across 14 drivers. 58 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Daniel RICCIARDO had the most, with 9.

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.

  3. Lance STROLLAston Martin15:12:300:07

    EngineerOkay Lance, science looks in lap. Jun's proposal is double cool for tyres so we'll double cool.

  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:13:570:06

  5. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:14:030:04

    Max VERSTAPPENUh, maybe one more step.

  6. Yuki TSUNODARB15:14:560:12

  17. Daniel RICCIARDORB15:27:350:14

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I had a, I don't know, Alpine or something, so that'd be something there, I think, yeah, balance, quite similar limitations.

  18. Carlos SAINZFerrari15:28:330:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  19. Esteban OCONAlpine15:28:340:06

    EngineerA lot of cars aborting laps looks like going deep into turn one for reference.

    Audio only, no transcript

  21. Carlos SAINZFerrari15:28:410:02

    EngineerI'll come back to you.

  23. Carlos SAINZFerrari15:28:490:08

    EngineerShould we switch to high fuel you think or more important for us so you want to try to open the lap?

  24. Carlos SAINZFerrari15:28:570:06

    EngineerSo

    Carlos SAINZturn 1, 2, 3, let's try again.

  25. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:30:110:11

    EngineerCopy, I've seen that

  26. Daniel RICCIARDORB15:32:090:08

    EngineerSo do you think we gain any late stability or it doesn't look like it's the case at the moment?

  27. Daniel RICCIARDORB15:32:180:08

    Daniel RICCIARDOI feel like the engine braking was a bit artificial, so I don't think that helped.

  28. Yuki TSUNODARB15:33:040:13

    Yuki TSUNODATurn 8 engine braking is pretty strange, it's just the engine brake is feeling like Engine braking is pushing towards the end of the corner

  36. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:43:530:07

    EngineerLando better job in turn 6-7, can still go a tenth quicker through turn 12.

  37. Pierre GASLYAlpine15:44:180:09

    EngineerAnd Pierre, if you wanted a gap, you could drive through the pit lane, and then there's a 20 second gap between Hamilton and Esteban.

    EngineerAnd if we could get mode 2, mode 2.

  46. Daniel RICCIARDORB15:52:110:05

    Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood. Yeah, so taking a bit of a hit, last couple ups.

  47. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:52:310:10

    Engineerand we need driver default delta zero on when you can driver default delta zero on when you can

  48. Sergio PEREZRed Bull15:52:580:06

    Sergio PEREZYeah, fighting entry capabilities into the low speed.

    Yuki TSUNODAFront is pretty disaster

  53. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:00:560:17
