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.

This month the cover star of GP Racing is Fernando Alonso. We charged our reporter Oleg with the task of finding out what makes him tick, and why Formula 1 is “like a drug to him”. 







And around this time of year we like to do a tech analysis of the constructors’ championship-winning car. As Matt Kew has written about recently, Red Bull’s RB19 doesn't have any one trick up it's sleeve, thereby denying the opposition the opportunity to either complain or copy.
