Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024: Qualifying team radio

37 radio messages were recorded during qualifying at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 2024, across 18 drivers. 36 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Max VERSTAPPEN had the most, with 5.

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.
