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.
