    Is Verstappen Four And Done With Red Bull?

    As Formula 1 prepares to take another spin of the wheel at Las Vegas, the latest edition of GP Racing magazine is on the news stands, so it's once again time for Codders to Podders, as ever with Mark Gallagher and Autosport's Grand Prix Editor, Alex Kalinauckas. In this month's episode, we ask whether Max Verstappen will be ‘four and done’ with Red Bull – and, indeed whether Red Bull will be able to win another world championship in the foreseeable future as their driver academy might not be holding up as well as it once did, despite two and a half decades of success... Are we in the strange situation where Red Bull literally "can't afford" to let Sergio Perez go? Elsewhere the trio chat about their latest feature on Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, and his favourite climbing wall. Consider this a boulder dash rather than balderdash, as they discuss his engineering background and rising through the ranks within the sport, being Romain Grosjean's race engineer and the awkward timing of his favourite cappuccino... (PS: You can also see a video of the interview on Autosport’s YouTube channel!) And finally, marketing comes to the forefront with a deep dive on F1's latest idea, a live show to celebrate their 75th anniversary with all ten team's liveries being revealed at the O2 Arena in February, as well as Monaco being extended on the sporting calendar until 2031. Is the live show an insult to long-standing fans or a brilliant commercial idea? And is Monaco still as important as it used to be?

    Hamilton vs Leclerc: Who Will Be Top Dog At Ferrari In 2025?

    Welcome back to Flat Chat! And it’s another late one thanks to various movements of people. And in the case of Codders and Autosport Grand Prix Editor Alex Kalinauckas coming back from Mexico, movements of people in the wrong direction at the wrong time… of course, Mark Gallagher joins as well!   The latest edition of GP Racing magazine hit the newsstands just before the US Grand Prix as we look at who’s going to be top dog at Ferrari next year, as Mark and Alex ponder what the Vettel-esque mistakes Lewis Hamilton shouldn’t make as he prepares to battle Charles Leclerc for supremacy at Maranello. Elsewhere, Pat Symonds is featured as he talks about why multiple teams are struggling to add performance as the season goes on, and why McLaren has waited so long to use its latest floor upgrade.  And of course, there has to be a discussion on driving standards after Max Verstappen doubled down on his aggressive defending against Lando Norris, and received 20 seconds of time penalties during the Mexico Grand Prix. How will they be adjusted ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix, and is the FIA being consistent enough with its stewarding?  If you prefer to enter an actual retail establishment, make sure your journey isn’t wasted.

    McLaren's Upgrades, Russell Vulnerabilities, More Red Bull Departures

    Welcome back to another edition of Flat Chat with Codders, and with two shows in as many weekends, we're almost caught up again! Codders as usual is joined by Mark Gallagher and Autosport's Grand Prix Editor Alex Kalinauckas to catch up with what was a hectic Baku and Singapore double header. In this episode, there's chat about McLaren and the nerves about potentially unsettling their winning car via floor upgrades. Have they stumbled across the right formula for success, as their flexi-wing in Baku may have proved? George Russell is mentioned as well. With Andrea Kimi Antonelli joining in 2025 and with Toto Wolff still eyeing up Max Verstappen with the allure of a potentially great 2026 car, has Russell become the odd man out, despite his strong performances at Mercedes? And Red Bull can't lock the doors down fast enough in MIlton Keynes as they lose two more key members of staff, with Jonathan Wheatley heading to Audi for 2025, and chief strategist Will Courtenay joining McLaren as Sporting Director sometime in 2032 (Codder's words on Gardening Leave, mind). The trio discuss the impact they'll be likely to have on their new teams. All that and a throwback to the days of William Shatner, in October's Flat Chat!  If you don’t yet subscribe to GP Racing, head to gpracing.com where print and digital and Autosport Plus packages start at three issues for three pounds.

    McLaren Back On Top, Can Norris and Piastri Co-Exist?

    It's been a long time coming, but it's finally time for another edition of Flat Chat with Codders, fresh off the back of the Italian Grand Prix, and the gang is back together with Mark "Captain Pugwush" Gallagher and Autosport GP Editor, Alex Kalinauckas! In this edition of the show, the trio discuss McLaren, who have arguably become the best team in F1, and with a genuine chance to capture both Drivers and Constructors titles. But with Charles Leclerc beating both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri on the day, is McLaren tripping over their mechanical feet? And will Piastri take the threat of team orders lying down. Murmurs of Mark Webber ring in the background... There's also chat about the news of Kimi Antonelli's Formula 1 debut as he took George Russell's car in Free Practise, only to replicate Safety Car driver Bernd Maylander 10 minutes later and stuff it in the wall of the Parabolica. Is there too much hype for the teenage Italian, and does it put George Russell's future at risk with Toto still talking about the possibility of Max Verstappen joining in the future! And finally a chat about more new faces on the grid right now and in the future, with Franco Colapinto replacing Logan Sargeant at Williams and the PR juggling that Team Principal James Vowles had to go through after upsetting the Schumacher family, as well as Jack Doohan announced at Alpine for 2025. How does Alex think Franco feared on debut in tricky circumstances, and can be F1's answer to Lionel Messi. All that and a surprise phonecall from "Jackie Stewart" in the latest Flat Chat with Codders!

    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!

    Is Red Bull In Crisis With Newey's Departure?

    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.

    Senna And Ratzenberger, 30 Years On

    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.
