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?
