60 radio messages were recorded during practice 3 at the Singapore Grand Prix 2024, across 19 drivers. 54 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. George RUSSELL had the most, with 12.

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.

  1. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin17:38:280:09

    George RUSSELLtargeting plus six

  3. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:45:340:04

    EngineerYou have a 12-second gap ahead. Shouldn't be too bad for bunching.

  4. Esteban OCONAlpine17:46:560:07

    EngineerWe started the lap with quite low rear tyre temp still so let's see if we get an improvement on the next lap

  5. Esteban OCONAlpine17:47:180:10

    Esteban OCONYeah, copy. At the moment very bad instability on the turn-ins.

    EngineerOK, copy that, understood.

  6. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:47:540:07

    EngineerSo snap turn three looks to be costing a couple of tenths looks like initiated from that front pinch

  7. George RUSSELLMercedes17:48:290:06

    George RUSSELLMy dash isn't updating, yeah,

    Engineermy dash isn't updating. Stop at two.

  8. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:48:510:07

    Oscar PIASTRIBalance already feels better than yesterday.

  9. Nico HULKENBERGHaas17:50:050:05

    EngineerFirst pushing will be Ricardo, 11 behind.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:50:260:09

    Max VERSTAPPENEveryone is just in the way, the whole lap. I can't, it's much better though.

  11. Esteban OCONAlpine17:51:120:06

    Esteban OCONYeah, the rear was a little bit better, but still it's quite loose I think on entries. Understood, Hamilton.

  12. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber17:51:350:06

    EngineerSliding of the grip. We think mid plus one for the slide.

  13. Pierre GASLYAlpine17:51:590:06

    Engineerokay so exit of turn three we could gain some time we've got torque 10 available torque 10

  14. Pierre GASLYAlpine17:52:390:08

    Pierre GASLYWow, that was very very close

  15. George RUSSELLMercedes17:54:030:10

    George RUSSELLI need a change of gloves for the next stint Aye

    Engineerclub

  16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:54:530:09

    Max VERSTAPPENEvery time that Mac's steering lock at the entrance of corners, I lose the rear.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:55:220:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  18. George RUSSELLMercedes17:55:230:06

    George RUSSELLSo, just had a lot of traffic, sector 1. Understood. Still struggling in the last corner with understeer.

  19. George RUSSELLMercedes17:55:300:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:55:310:18

    EngineerHow much of a step do you want, Max Herr? We can either recommend you torque 7 or mid 7 or both. I think we should try a quarter then, see what it does. Yep, OK. Then torque 7 and mid 7, please. And you have Piastri at 5.

  21. Yuki TSUNODARB17:56:530:11

    Yuki TSUNODAWe were looking at everything. Turn 14, I felt a bit of, I don't know, we were looking all instability. Second fish was a bit more instability on the nose.

  22. George RUSSELLMercedes17:58:330:05

    George RUSSELLStill pretty understeery in turn three. I got him.

  23. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:59:100:11

    EngineerAnd then the other one, if possible somewhere, can you do a first to second upshift with recharge off? Hamilton time lap just left turn nine and Verstappen six seconds behind him.

  24. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams18:03:260:10

    EngineerI

    Franco COLAPINTOstarted to lose arrears towards the end of the lap, 16 I was starting with the rear. With the lap I think I would still go up for the new set again.

  25. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber18:05:270:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  26. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber18:05:280:08

    ZHOU GuanyuI think what we can do is to change, because it's feeling too much sliding, both back and front. Yeah, we can talk in the garage.

  27. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:06:210:17

    Pierre GASLYWhat's the other car's time?

    EngineerSo Esteban's lap was a 33.3 That

    Pierre GASLYwas the last lap

    Engineerso you've done an extra lap compared to him so on the fourth lap Same tire age you guys were doing identical lap times

  28. Carlos SAINZFerrari18:09:590:09

    EngineerWe will need a full lap on NG1 at the rest of the course.

  29. George RUSSELLMercedes18:10:070:11

    EngineerFive to Perez. Strat one and double call here. Targeting minus 50.

  30. Alexander ALBONWilliams18:10:190:31

    Engineerokay go switch the clerk in three okay go switch to go in you got the clerk opening six clerk in three that's empty on

  31. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams18:10:490:13

    Engineer2-2 Verstappen ahead, okay maybe a gap to the red ball ahead, number gap, minimum 7 SC2. Matthias will be slow, Hamilton slow as well in sync, so it's 5.

  32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:11:020:05

    EngineerThree and a half in terms of sectors two and a half sector one three and a half in the middle

  33. George RUSSELLMercedes18:11:070:04

  37. Sergio PEREZRed Bull18:11:210:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  38. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:11:300:05

    EngineerIt's just the rear is getting out of control. It's that turn 5 step.

  39. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:12:230:06

    EngineerAnd 10th, 17th, mid-speed.

    Lewis HAMILTONThat's still too late.

  40. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:13:050:14

    EngineerThere is Hamilton and science in turn 13. I've got a feeling science is gonna pit So I don't think you'll be there and I think the clerks gonna pit so it should be relatively clear ahead of you

  41. George RUSSELLMercedes18:13:390:12

    George RUSSELLTurns one two three the GPS my dash isn't working so you

    Engineerjust stay on it for that sector. Yeah

  42. George RUSSELLMercedes18:14:530:12

    George RUSSELLVery surprised more people are on the soft already.

    EngineerYeah, Max is out there now. He's just done a 30.5

  43. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams18:15:460:15

    EngineerYeah, I cook the rear 63 at D4 as well. Yeah, I think there's a bit of being a bit more patient in that sector one. Not get the snap, that's also hurting the rest of the lap. But we'll talk when you're back.

  44. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:16:160:06

    EngineerAdelando, thoughts on front wing?

    Lando NORRISVery much so.

    George RUSSELLYeah, yeah. Well, no, I went straight on, but otherwise I'm okay.

  49. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:21:140:06

    EngineerTargeting zero. Hulkenberg four behind. Let's start working the fronts.

  50. Daniel RICCIARDORB18:23:180:06

    EngineerIt was 1 tenths straight line braking turn 10, 1 tenths minimum speed turn 11.

  51. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:23:380:05

    EngineerDecent improvements there Lewis, improved on sector 2 and sector 3.

  52. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:24:220:16

  53. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:25:290:10
