45 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Bahrain Grand Prix 2024, across 17 drivers. 44 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Charles LECLERC had the most, with 7.

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.

    EngineerThey're pushing to 14, recharge off, and good to go, single timed lap.

  3. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas12:56:260:08

    Kevin MAGNUSSENWhat's the drop-off from that one to a second push?

  4. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas12:56:340:08

    Engineertimes are almost the same yeah I'd say there's no big difference I can see quickly

  5. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:01:500:07

    EngineerHere we've got some time to gain with Esteban on exits 1, 10 and 13.

  6. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:02:200:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  7. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:02:210:06

    Sergio PEREZYeah, what's going on with the shift guys? It's really bad third to fourth

  8. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:02:270:02

    EngineerYeah, we're working on that

  9. Yuki TSUNODARB13:02:510:06

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I had a quite long look up last corner. Ended up quite deep.

  10. Yuki TSUNODARB13:03:440:04

    EngineerMiyuki was turn 8, pushing better this lap.

  11. Yuki TSUNODARB13:03:480:04

    Yuki TSUNODAI think a little bit, not massively.

  12. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:05:010:06

    EngineerDiff mid minus one suggestion and the wind is the same than previous run

  13. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:05:250:08

    Pierre GASLYYeah, 0.2% of the world on mechanical, it is too much. Understand that, Cal.

    EngineerCopy that. We were thinking the same.

  14. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:06:020:08

    EngineerOut of turn 10, I'd like purple C3 position 2, purple C3 position 2, third gear.

  15. George RUSSELLMercedes13:07:250:07

    George RUSSELLChecked turn 12, feels much better there. Difficult to take a read anywhere else.

  16. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:08:410:08

    EngineerDo you need those cruisers again? I didn't worry. No, next if they're good enough. Thank you.

  17. Esteban OCONAlpine13:09:280:08

    EngineerOkay, let's run some slow frequency or low frequency weaving on the back straight, please, 13 to 14.

  18. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:10:410:05

    Engineerand we can reduce the peak into turn 6

  19. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:11:210:03

    Charles LECLERCHow is the second time up?

  20. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:11:240:05

    EngineerOverall good, just losing out of turn 10 and 11.

  21. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:11:290:03

    Engineercompared to science.

  22. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:12:220:07

    Engineerno time for another push we need to box now

  23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:12:530:06

    EngineerManage your tyres Max, don't get into a race with the sergeant please

  24. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:14:150:12

    EngineerIt

    Alexander ALBONfeels very odd, it's just, I felt like my fronts were overheating a lot through the lap. It just felt like it, I don't know if it's just the track evo.

  25. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:14:400:08

    Sergio PEREZYeah, into eight and ten, certainly, yeah, I think we are on the aggressive side.

  26. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:15:330:12

    EngineerOne much II to it. Yeah, I

    Logan SARGEANTneed help blue speed man. I I need what can I do?

    EngineerNo rotation

  27. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber13:16:030:07

    EngineerSo the moment where you still have a slight in margin on breaking point and turn one

  28. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:16:530:09

    Logan SARGEANTJust to reiterate, I think the flop's in a good place for medium-high speed, so I don't really want to take more just for low speed.

  29. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:17:290:09

    Alexander ALBONCan you check why, since I have so much understeer suddenly, is this that wind thing? Like my balance shift from 1st

    Engineerset

    Alexander ALBONto 2nd set?

  30. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:17:510:09

    EngineerI could open the diff, but

    Logan SARGEANTI would need a bigger diff stabilizer for the corners I need it.

  31. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin13:18:580:07

    EngineerYeah, copy.

    Fernando ALONSOAnother step better. I'm connected with the car. It's good.

  32. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin13:19:350:15

    EngineerYou're currently P1, a tenth quicker than Verstappen.

    Fernando ALONSOYeah, copy. Another step better. I'm connected with the car, it's good.

    EngineerCopy, mate.

  33. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin13:20:440:07

    Fernando ALONSOYeah, I mean, it's not very representative, but let's do it anyway.

    EngineerYeah, copy that.

  34. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:21:370:03

    Sergio PEREZWho's fascist?

  35. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:21:400:14

    EngineerSo Alonso fastest with 30.9, Max 31.0, Norris 31.1, Russell 31.1, Piestri 31.2. Currently P6, just under three times off Fernando.

  36. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:23:360:12

    Kevin MAGNUSSENTraffic in turn 1 and lock up in turn 10.

  37. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:24:470:21

    EngineerSo Kevin is first pushing car, 12 behind. We're good on timing for double back-offs. So he's not in sequence with me? No, I take it back. He's on the back-off. So he didn't push the first time, so this must be... I'll find out when he's going to push again.

  38. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:27:100:09

    Engineerwe set go race and we unbox this lap for a stop short and they rub you've got Magnussen in three on a push Magnussen in three on a push

  39. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:28:100:06

    Charles LECLERCYeah, very tricky out of turn two again

  40. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:29:050:11

    Engineerso mode slow please kev mode slow so we need to and spark two please spark two no threats behind

  41. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:29:310:09

    Nico HULKENBERGNo, not happening. That is not happening.

  42. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:29:320:09

    Charles LECLERCAnd I struggled with the altitude in the last corner as well. The sun is, I think, low.

  43. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:30:140:05

    EngineerI just drove past because I didn't know. Yeah, no problem.

  44. Esteban OCONAlpine13:30:580:08

    EngineerI think we've got a couple of things we'd like to look at with you, but other than that, everything control-wise looked pretty sensible. How are the brakes now, please?

  45. Esteban OCONAlpine13:31:070:05

    Esteban OCONIt's still vibrating, stop's okay.
