70 radio messages were recorded during practice 1 at the Qatar Grand Prix 2024, across 19 drivers. 68 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 13.

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.

  5. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren07:33:400:04

    EngineerSo we measure a 20K tailwind entry turn two.

  6. Esteban OCONAlpine07:34:330:05

    EngineerMost of these places are where we're going through a crosswind so

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:36:020:06

    EngineerEngine 13, engine 1-3, position 8.

  8. George RUSSELLMercedes07:36:510:05

  10. Pierre GASLYAlpine07:37:380:08

    EngineerYeah, so in which area of the track do you want to know it's a headwind up to turn one the ghost

  11. Pierre GASLYAlpine07:37:560:08

    EngineerWhat's the intensity? Yeah, so intensity is, as measured, 20 kph.

  12. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:38:510:10

    EngineerOkay, so down three or four Let's throw four see if that helps. Understood. So keep up the pace a little bit then for this lap max

  13. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:39:470:13

    Alexander ALBONThe high speed balance is good. Lacking with corner rotation.

    Engineer6 or most other corners? All the tailwinds.

  14. Alexander ALBONWilliams07:40:010:05

    Alexander ALBONBut yes, this is not not

    Engineergreat

  15. Pierre GASLYAlpine07:41:160:09

    Pierre GASLYThe truck's pretty fast. Yep, copy that.

    EngineerSo we've got Albon coming at four seconds back.

  16. Pierre GASLYAlpine07:43:450:15

    Engineer2 tenths in the last corner with the traffic. OK, so let's go recharge on, recharge on, let's watch out, Norris behind on a time-lapse, he's 2 seconds back, P1 at the minute.

  17. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas07:44:460:26

    EngineerAnd Ed's still suggesting braking earlier for fall for better apex speed.

  18. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin07:45:120:08

    EngineerScience is now pushing two behind.

  19. George RUSSELLMercedes07:45:190:52

  22. Charles LECLERCFerrari07:48:190:05

    Engineerreminder easy pit exit please after the pit stop

  23. Yuki TSUNODARB07:49:540:11

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I was okay Definitely better in high speeds and I didn't slow speed like turn one I would say

  24. Liam LAWSONRB07:52:510:05

    Liam LAWSONOkay, I went wide so we could box.

    EngineerBox, box.

  25. Liam LAWSONRB07:53:250:20

    Liam LAWSONOk copy, for me it's just the middle of turn 1, entry is fine and then I get to the apex and then a lot of instability

    EngineerYeah Liam, it's a lot of wind there in turn 1 and we see the same on both cars So let's have a look why we can't make it work for us, box box

  26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull07:54:450:11

    EngineerMax once you settle in if you think the flap adjustment was insufficient then don't forget you've got the high-speed diff to take out if necessary

  27. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas07:56:340:04

    EngineerSo mode RS for the start

  28. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber07:57:350:08

    EngineerAnd we suggest special two for turn six and turn ten.

  29. Sergio PEREZRed Bull07:58:240:05

    EngineerMode 6, Mode 6 and Display 8.

  30. Lando NORRISMcLaren07:59:430:03

    Engineersuggest blue b5 blue b5

  31. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin08:00:240:07

    EngineerLean on the tyres, Piazzi pushing through now and then you're clear for eight seconds to the stop.

  32. Nico HULKENBERGHaas08:02:030:48

    EngineerWatch gravel exit of 15

  33. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren08:02:500:09

    EngineerOkay, Albon for turn six suggests top right toggle. Turn six, top right.

  34. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren08:02:590:06

    EngineerFor turn six, suggest top right toggle. Turn six, top right.

  35. Charles LECLERCFerrari08:03:410:08

    EngineerSince we're a bit tight on time, let me know if you still want to do another push or we can go constant running

  36. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber08:04:230:09

    EngineerYou can use more curb corner 12 and 14

  37. Pierre GASLYAlpine08:06:000:06

    Pierre GASLYCan you just check the front touching?

    EngineerOkay, copy.

  38. George RUSSELLMercedes08:06:570:08

    George RUSSELLJust check overtake button into four, I think wastegate was open

  39. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams08:08:280:05

    EngineerSo good luck keep pushing keep pushing

  40. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber08:10:530:06

    ZHOU GuanyuIs there a helmet I can change?

  41. Carlos SAINZFerrari08:11:440:03

  42. Carlos SAINZFerrari08:11:550:05

    EngineerEcho boat set, boat set.

  43. Sergio PEREZRed Bull08:12:110:05

    EngineerJust be easy on the brakes on the way in, easy on the brakes.

  44. Pierre GASLYAlpine08:13:330:11

    EngineerOkay mate, so we've got two laps remaining after this in our plan, we think we shouldn't do that run at the end, so we've got the option we could extend this.

  45. George RUSSELLMercedes08:14:170:05

    EngineerThere's

    George RUSSELLno way we can get that in, there's obviously traffic behind us.

  46. Esteban OCONAlpine08:19:090:29

    Esteban OCONThe car is super inconsistent basically, from entry to mid-corner, it's basically not possible to carry the speed.

    EngineerOK, understood. So is that mainly from the rear end? Well,

    Esteban OCONfront end understeer mid-corner and then basically

    Engineerthe rear end snaps massively. So we could consider just opening up that diff mid a little bit, that might help with the mid-corner.

  47. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber08:20:210:07

    EngineerAnd lean on tires corner 12, 13 and 14.

  48. Alexander ALBONWilliams08:23:070:13

    Alexander ALBONTo me the front right just wasn't biting.

    EngineerI don't know if it just

    Alexander ALBONstruggled with the temperature but turn two, turn six for the left-handers.

  49. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes08:23:390:07

    EngineerAnd just check your strat switch.

  50. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas08:24:510:09

    EngineerThe

    Kevin MAGNUSSENtyres were absolutely fine.

    EngineerYeah, it's just too late.

  51. Liam LAWSONRB08:26:450:06

    Liam LAWSONThe bottom's really bad, so...

    EngineerMagnuson's far beyond pushing

  52. George RUSSELLMercedes08:27:160:04

    George RUSSELLCould you get a screenshot of the start on the screen, please?

  53. Alexander ALBONWilliams08:28:360:11

    Alexander ALBONIt's hard to know if that was Ty's or Wind's, but the three-corner balance was much better.

  54. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren08:29:190:10

    EngineerAnd Oscar, it's up to you on what you're learning, but suggest to abort after turn 10 to save the tyre in high speed.

  55. Charles LECLERCFerrari08:30:310:06

    EngineerAnd

    Charles LECLERCthere was a mistake in 4-5.

  56. George RUSSELLMercedes08:31:080:06

    George RUSSELLChris always coming out of that half and upshifts feel more aggressive

  57. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber08:32:010:07

  62. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:35:170:11

    Max VERSTAPPENI have a lot of air coming into my helmet, so I need to change helmet after this run.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  63. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber16:36:460:05

    Valtteri BOTTASTraffic paradise.

  64. George RUSSELLMercedes16:38:530:07

    George RUSSELLBrakes feel pretty rubbish, not much bite.

  65. Liam LAWSONRB16:45:310:07

    Liam LAWSONFear is honestly...

    EngineerOk, focus on yourself, copy that.

  66. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin16:45:520:09
