Canadian Grand Prix 2026: Qualifying team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:02:00

   Engineer: Use boost after 10, 4, 7, and 9. Use boost.

2. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin16:21:24

   Fernando ALONSO: Wow the Cadillac, the last glimmer. Yeah

   Engineer: copy Perez he's starting it up.

   Fernando ALONSO: Yeah in the line mate.

3. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:25:50

   Engineer: I think the only thing we can do to improve on the process here, mate, is changing the strap 2 before 10.13, just before braking, as late as you can push it. It's very easy, mate, to say, but that small tweak does help us. Probably in the top half of this, so let me know if I can. Yeah, I know, it's tricky, mate, but what I'd say so far is doing a great job.

4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:33:21

   Max VERSTAPPEN: I can't get my front tires in the window, like it's really, really bad. Like yesterday in the island, it's like I'm driving on ice.

   Engineer: Copy that.

5. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:42:17

   Engineer: And we are through, so you are P-8?

   Charles LECLERC: I'm completely out of place, completely out of thing, he's either in the wall or P-8 We just need to make sure, give me clean air, I don't care about whatever else, just clean air, that's all that matters

   Engineer: Understood Charles

6. Liam LAWSONRacing Bulls16:43:26

   Engineer: Oh,

   Liam LAWSON: man, sorry, that was honestly so, so badly driven.

7. Franco COLAPINTOAlpine16:44:24

   Franco COLAPINTO: It's your home, yes. Vamos. Good job.

8. Oliver BEARMANHaas16:45:00

   Engineer: The second you try and push this thing, it's not liking it. Yeah, we can see that all of you, I appreciate that. I'm blocking the front set, I didn't record that.

9. Nico HULKENBERGAudi16:45:46

   Engineer: BG-11 for us. Seems like that's our spot. What

   Nico HULKENBERG: the f*** is B-11? I'm sick of it.

10. George RUSSELLMercedes16:52:46

    George RUSSELL: Nothing on the rear

11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:53:22

    Max VERSTAPPEN: What's going on with this straight line speed because it's bleeding

12. George RUSSELLMercedes17:01:30

    Engineer: Nice work, nice work.

    George RUSSELL: Yes! Well

    Engineer: done mate. Keep me posted, is that good enough? That is good enough. Well done. We made that a bit tricky.

13. George RUSSELLMercedes17:02:07

    George RUSSELL: It's the most exhilarating feeling in the world when it comes last-minute out of nowhere. Good job

14. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes17:05:45

    Engineer: Okay Kimi, so that's P2 mate, so it's just, again, same as yesterday, so 68 milliseconds. Did he go for two laps? He ended up doing a fast slow fast.

15. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:06:34

    Engineer: It's going to be 3 again.

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, all good. The love wasn't amazing, but I heard all the dirt from Hamilton and then those slipstreams, so here's what it is.

16. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:07:18

    Engineer: I was going to P4 again, P4. Good job, mate. It was only two tenths to hold this time. Yeah, it's a bit of a struggle, but we're

    Oscar PIASTRI: getting there.

17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:08:27

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, I mean, I think it's

    Engineer: something really wrong that we didn't check ice and stuff before. Sorry, Max, we know it's a frustrating one, but we'll have a lot to be honest with, so it's a painful but necessary data point, and we'll look to it. It's three times from the board right now.

18. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:08:59

    Charles LECLERC: So we finished

    Engineer: You've seen it
