It's time for June 2024's Flat Chat with Codders for GP Racing Magazine as Codders is joined as ever by Mark Gallagher from New York and Autosport's Grand Prix Editor Alex Kalinauckas!

In this edition of the show, the trio talk about the big return of Flavio Briatore to the Alpine team as a "Special Supervisor". What direction is the future of the Alpine team heading in, and what was the thought process of Renault CEO Luca De Meo, especially with the team's current technical shortcomings, with the possibility of them dropping their power units fresh in the news!

There's also a big preview for next week's British Grand Prix, with eight-time winner Lewis Hamilton the main focus. Included is a fascinating story about how GP Racing's own photographer Steven Tee used a unique method of analyising the tyre wear of Hamilton's competitors in 2008...

...And finally a deep dive on Yuki Tsunoda as he begins to emerge as RB's Team Leader, just as his team slips to the back of the pecking order via their new upgrade package!

In this month's edition of GP Racing Magazine, Codders is joined by Mark Gallagher and Autosport Grand Prix Editor Alex Kalinauckas come together to chat about the imminent departure of Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey at the end of the 2024 season. With it being a known quantity that Newey and Horner didn't see eye-to-eye on Newey's influence in the team, is it the beginning of the end for the dominant empire? 

The trio also talk about Charles Leclerc changing his race engineer as Xavi Marcos is moved to "other projects" within Ferrari, and how it may be a sign of the Monaco driver's continued struggles. Speaking of which, there's also chat about Mercedes' fall from grace as they continue to slide down F1's current pecking order. And finally, a discussion about the possibility F1 might be ditching the hybrids and returning to the days of the loud and proud V8-era. 

In this month's edition of GP Racing Magazine, Codders and Mark Gallagher are joined by new guest pundit Alex Kalinauckas, Grand Prix Editor from our friends at Autosport. On the show this week, a look back at the tragic weekend of Imola 1994 as its 30th anniversary beckons around the corner, where the sport tragically lost both Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger, with the hosts talking about how far the sport has come since that horrible weekend. 

There's also discussions on Alex's monthly column on the state of Williams, fresh off the disaster that was their Australian GP weekend. Despite the improvements, is their lack of spare chassis a serious problem? And there's a chat about Zhou Guanyu as he finally gets to race in a home Grand Prix this weekend, his journey from Shanghai to Sheffield, and the potential of what he could bring to Sauber via his homeland of China.

In this month's edition of GP Racing magazine, we preview the upcoming F1 2024 season. Has Red Bull got the jump on the pack? Can they make the concepts Mercedes came up with work, or will they discover the same issues? Plus, we talk about the Andretti rejection and how much pressure is Lando Norris under?
