Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024: Practice 1 team radio
26 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024, across 11 drivers. 24 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Oliver BEARMAN had the most, with 4.
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.

Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, Thais are getting hot, Thais especially.
George RUSSELL: I don't know what science is doing but he's left a necessarily big gap there

Esteban OCON: Yeah, I seem to have understand all the left-hand corners so second to last and turn nine

Engineer: Copy.
Pierre GASLY: Brake pedal is very soft, something is wrong with it.
Engineer: Copy mate, we're checking.

Max VERSTAPPEN: Alright team, let's go to the break dock mate
Engineer: Ok mate, so we'll come through the pit lane and remove that
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, that 2011 is a disaster. I have no f***ing work there. 4WD? Yeah, I just... I can't work late, because then the car initially wants to bottom really badly. Then on the entry to Apex, there's no f***ing front.
Engineer: Max, just to break down the sectors, you're currently purple, sector 1 and 3, but we're losing 4 tenths, obviously 11 to 12, you highlighted, but turn 7, I think, and 9 are also a little bit weak.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, but what is weak? I mean, I understand I'm off, but what's going on there?
Engineer: So you've got four more time-lapse and the lack of info is because we think you're doing a good job mate, so all good
Oliver BEARMAN: Okay
Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, what is this guy doing? I don't know.
Engineer: The
Charles LECLERC: Red Bulls are always in the middle today.
