Another season of F1 drama comes to an end this weekend as McLaren's Lando Norris has the chance to be crowned world champion. And the man who’s masterminded it all - McLaren CEO Zak Brown is with us today.

After the double disqualification in Las Vegas from a 0.07mm error, Max Verstappen’s impossible late charge, and the season-long battle with team-mate Oscar Piastri, there's plenty for us to talk about.

Does Zak secretly have a favourite driver? How did Zak go from winning Wheel of Fortune as a kid to orchestrating McLaren’s resurgence from no wins in 9 years to back-to-back team titles? And how worried is he that Max Verstappen could still spoil the party?

Plus Gabby and Mark react to a great week for Chelsea and Arsenal in the Champions League and the similarities between Mourinho's legendary Blues team and Arteta's Gunners ahead of this weekend's top of the table clash. Plus, the shambolic Women's League Cup draw with sexual references and dropped balls (no pun intended!), and World Cup winner Abby Dow's shock retirement from rugby aged just 28.
