The Fast and the Curious

We're joined by BBC 5Live's pit lane reporter and Drive to Survive expert Jennie Gow to hear about her time in F1 and some pretty interesting theories about where the 2025 driver line-up could end up.

Along the way she explains how her recovery from a stroke in 2022 has seen her take determination, inspiration and support from the Formula One world to re-learn how to read and write, and eventually make her way back to the paddock.

There's also time for Jennie to tell us her "most embarrassing moment" in F1 involving Colin Farrell and answer some listener questions about how to work in Formula One.

Betty and Christian go through the big talking points from a chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix.

From wild track conditions to a disqualification and Max's "best race yet" (and Lance Stroll's formation lap antics) it all made for a pretty memorable race, which looks to put the drivers' title battle to bed.

But with three races to go, where could the constructors title end up and how much of a boost has that double podium given Alpine as we head towards to season finale?

As the F1 season heats up, we visit the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes to see how the team stays at the top of their game.

They discuss how they all joined the team, what Max and Checo are like on race day, and most importantly who is in charge of the garage playlist.

Betty, Greg and Christian assemble to go through the big talking points from a "blockbuster" of a Mexican Grand Prix.

As Lando keeps his title fight alive, the team discuss if Verstappen was 'dangerous' and if he can rely on talent rather than on-track aggression.

They also look at Ferrari's unstoppable form and where it could taken them, and at the other end of the spectrum where a pretty tough weekend for Sergio Perez leaves his future at Red Bull.

Former world champion Jenson Button joins Betty from Austin for a look ahead to this weekend's action at the Circuit of the Americas.

As someone who has been in Max Verstappen shoes, Jenson discuss what might be going through his head as we enter the final stretch of the season and looks at how the rest of the gris is shaping up.

He also takes a trip down memory lane to compare notes with "super impressive" Williams driver Franco Colapinto who has had a similar thrown-in-the-deep-end start to life in Formula One to the one Jenson had in 2000.

After an incredible first few Grand Prix, Franco Colapinto tells us all about how he got his seat at Williams and his hopes of staying in Formula One. 

He also discusses the "amazing support" he's had from Argentina but that it's far too early in his career for people to compare him to his country's sporting greats like Lionel Messi and Fangio.

This week we're joined by a living legend of Formula One in the form of Guenther Steiner. You might think he's said it all on Netflix and in his books but have you heard why he hates baked beans and what he thinks of some pretty wild AI predictions for 2025? Didn't think so.

We also discuss who kicked him out of the team principal WhatsApp chat, his thoughts on Daniel Ricciardo's departure from F1 and who he think's will come out on top by the end of the season.
