In the January issue of GP Racing, our cover star is George Russell, and a remarkable series of events ensued in the weeks after we made the decision to focus on him. No sooner had Luke Smith’s elegantly crafted cover feature landed in the inbox than George found himself shoehorned into the cockpit of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. So it’s a victory for the editorial crystal ball. The question is, can George Russell take over when Lewis finally decides to retire. Also this week: The pandemic laid bare a lot of structural weaknesses within F1 and a lot of teams hit financial trouble. You wouldn’t have expected McLaren to be among them. When the season actually got going, they were remarkably competitive and they’ve done a great job to finish third in the constructors’ championship. We’ve taken a look at their journey courtesy of an exclusive interview with Andreas Seidl.

‘Flat Chat’ is back for December alongside a new edition of GP Racing magazine. Stuart Codling is joined by Ben Anderson and Mark Gallagher to talk about our extensive one-on-one interview with 7-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. As the most successful grand prix driver of all time, he’s eager to talk about the responsibility he feels to use his in influence for positive change. We ask how the Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 became the fastest GP (lapping Monza at 164mph) and whether it was Ferrari’s ‘fault’ for pushing them so hard last year. Plus, we talk with Pierre Gasly about his future, whether it will be with Red Bull, and what options Christian Horner could pick.

‘Flat Chat’ is back for November alongside a new edition of GP Racing magazine. Stuart Codling is joined by Ben Anderson and Mark Gallagher to ask if Sebastian Vettel can propel the new Aston Martin towards the front of the grid. We look into Renault’s on-track renaissance. A timely feature because immediately after we’d written and designed it, Daniel Ricciardo scored Renault’s first podium since its return as a manufacturer in 2016. We talk about McLaren’s plans to sell and then lease back its factory. And we interview Kimi Raikkonen, who has now started more grands prix than anybody else. Spoilers: he’s not impressed.

* Ferrari In Focus – Why Leclerc Is The New Darling Of Maranello

* Where Does Vettel Go From Here?

* Stirling Moss – A Personal Tribute By Nigel Roebuck

* New 7-Part Special: Williams F1 – The Full Story Of A British F1 Icon

GP Racing columnist Mark Gallagher, along with contributor and former Autosport Editor in Chief Damien Smith, join host Stuart Codling to look back at the life of a legend.

Earlier this month motorsport lost an iconic figure in Sir Stirling Moss. Even though his passing was not unexpected, given the length of time he battled illness, it was still a shock to hear the news. His legacy has a permanence in the world of motorsport because of the way he defined a certain type of sportsman, in a post-war era of 'stick and ball' sports where racing drivers didn't have the status of their sporting peers.

On the podcast today the team share their memories, and talk Mercedes, Lotus and a blue Ferrari.
