Mark is at the O2 Arena in London for the Formula One season launch, chatting to British drivers George Russell and Oliver Bearman, as they step out of Lewis Hamilton's shadow and look to become the next British driver to win a world championship.

Three-time Grand Prix winner Russell talks to us about taking over from Hamilton as lead driver at Mercedes, what he makes of the new rules that could ban drivers for swearing and how much he values rivalries in F1, after his big beef with four-time world champion Max Verstappen last season. (06:00)

Teenage rookie Ollie Bearman, who was three when Hamilton won his first world championship, is about to start his first full F1 season with Haas. Last year he became the youngest Briton ever to race in F1 and the youngest person ever to score points on their debut. This season can he build on that dramatic debut where he subbed in for Ferrari with two hours notice and finished 7th ahead of Hamilton? (19:36)

Plus, BBC F1 Presenter Jennie Gow gives us the lowdown on the biggest stories ahead of the new season.

It's not very Manchester City or Pep Guardiola to be one game away from crashing out of the Champions League in the league phase, and yet they face a must-win game on Wednesday to avoid their earliest exit for 12 years.

So Gabby and Mark caught up with former Man City player, Nedum Onuoha, and Pep Guardiola's biographer, Guillem Balague. What's the feeling inside City now about what's going wrong? Was the entire winning-machine held together by Rodri’s hamstring? And can Guardiola magic his way out of this one? (08:45)

Ahead of the Invictus Games we meet Gemma Barnes (37:30), a physiotherapy officer who served for 15 years in the army before two life-changing knee injuries. We talk about her journey through losing her career and her identity, to becoming the vice-captain of Team UK and competing in the skeleton.

All that and more... What's Mark's problem with this year's Super Bowl? What do they make of the first $1m dollar women's player, Naomi Girma? And have we jinxed Nottingham Forest?
