Ashworth's shock Man United exit & Verstappen's latest feud

Gabby and Mark are with you one day earlier than usual this week, following yet more off-field drama at Manchester United as Sporting Director, Dan Ashworth, leaves after just five months in the job.... What went wrong, and can Sir Jim Ratcliffe recover from this? We speak to The Athletic’s Adam Crafton for the inside story (08:28).

The Formula One season is over so it’s time for a debrief with BBC F1 presenter and voice of Drive to Survive, Jennie Gow (19:26). Is the big argument between champion Max Verstappen and George Russell just for the cameras? How did Lando Norris and McLaren get so good so quickly? And what can we expect from Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari next season?

And we have a special guest appearance from Kenny Logan, the ex-Scotland and Wales rugby player who is, of course, Gabby’s husband (39:08). He spills all the funny stories about Gabby and just how competitive she really is.
