69 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024, across 19 drivers. 67 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Oscar PIASTRI 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.

    Nico HULKENBERGLooks like both.

  51. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:10:580:23

  52. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:14:170:07

    Oscar PIASTRIThe front ride has a little bit of braking but still feels okay and looks not too bad.

  53. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:16:070:23

    Lando NORRISYeah, I think I had some downgraded downshifts even into the last corner as well, I think.

  54. George RUSSELLMercedes21:17:100:14

    Engineerbut

    George RUSSELLthen it doesn't look too bad elsewhere, and then it's time to drop.

    EngineerCopy.

  55. Sergio PEREZRed Bull21:18:100:09

    EngineerOK, box then, please.

  61. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:26:100:13

    EngineerOscar, there's not much margin on rear locking, but with the front tyres, consider testing more engine braking down on torque switch.

  62. Nico HULKENBERGHaas21:27:360:08

    EngineerYou

    Nico HULKENBERGwant lifting coast?

    EngineerWe don't need it now, we've got a reed there, so no lifting coast needed.

  63. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:29:050:10

    EngineerThe middle sector looks like it's mainly straight line, so probably a tow. No pressure behind.
