Canadian Grand Prix 2026: Sprint team radio

13 radio messages were recorded during sprint at the Canadian Grand Prix 2026, across 6 drivers. 11 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Kimi ANTONELLI had the most, with 6.

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.
