Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel attempt to make sense of everything that's going on at Ford. From a model line up made up almost entirely of crossovers and SUVs to tumbling sales figures and unprecedented levels of platform sharing with rivals, Ford is a very different car maker to the one we grew familiar with.

But might there be method in the madness? And can Ford re-establish itself as the market leader both in everyday cars and performance machines?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the life and career of triple Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian is regarded by many to be the greatest F1 driver of all time. He was ferociously quick, fearless in wheel-to-wheel battle and a master in the rain, but also willing to resort to underhand or even dangerous tactics to win.

Senna died aged only 34, leaving his home country and the entire motorsport world bereft. He is one of only a handful of F1 drivers to truly transcend the sport and become a prominent figure in society as a whole.

Andrew remembers the time he rode with Senna at Silverstone in a Honda NSX, and how impressive he was behind the wheel.
