On this month’s edition of the Flat Chat podcast, Stuart Codling is joined by Mark Gallagher and Matt Kew to discuss how Carlos Sainz is winning his fight to stay at Ferrari. Mark is also fresh from visiting the track in Las Vegas and discusses how F1's return to Sin City affects the teams and the fans. And General Motors has registered to join F1 as a power unit manufacturer in 2028 via its Cadillac brand. The intention is to partner with the new Andretti F1 team, so this announcement is bound up in all the politics surrounding that. We’ve dug into the Andretti business in previous editions of the podcast but this has moved the story on a fair bit and the timing is significant. Learn more about your ad choices.
