77 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Belgian Grand Prix 2024, across 20 drivers. 63 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Pierre GASLY had the most, with 8.

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.

  2. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:31:490:13

    EngineerOscar, there is a roughly 50-50 split between medium and hard tyres at the moment. We should get some info on the hard from competitor cars. Red Bull are on hard, as are Aston Martin.

    Lewis HAMILTONThis tire doesn't feel great, the other is quite quick now.

  10. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:37:020:07

    EngineerAnd Lando, the main opportunity is timing of braking, turn 18, brake later.

  11. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:38:410:08

    EngineerOpportunity carry more entry speeds turn five

  19. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:42:400:10

    EngineerYeah, just a lack of feeling. Lack of feeling, understood. Yeah, steering wheel, yeah. Like the low speed, okay. Okay, so you've got Max ahead of Gasly, who's ahead of you, so it's two cars to open ahead of you.

  20. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:43:020:07

    EngineerOn Daniel Kelly, low grip at the moment, balance across the car is very much similar.

  21. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:45:560:17

    Sergio PEREZYeah, really. It's really the pass.

    EngineerOkay, so without talking about it on the radio, I think we do not do the setup changes discussed pre-session. We'll go on to the soft so you can get a better feel for this.

  22. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:46:160:11

  23. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:46:220:14

    Logan SARGEANTGuys, there's no point to keep pushing on this tire, so we have to go back now forward immediately.

  24. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:47:070:08

    EngineerOscar, based on the data, it looks like we have opportunity to drop rear ride height. Does that agree with your feeling?

  25. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:47:360:07

    Alexander ALBONMaybe we can open the diff a bit.

  26. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:57:090:09
