The Ryder Cup pay row & is F1 ready for a female driver?

Olympic silver medallist and two-time Ryder Cup winner, Tommy Fleetwood, joins Gabby and Mark. 

Tommy takes us behind the scenes in the Team GB Olympic WhatsApp group, shares his thoughts on whether Team Europe should be paid at the Ryder Cup, and tells us about the joys of being a long-suffering Everton fan.   

Plus we chat to one of the world’s most-decorated female racing drivers, Jamie Chadwick, about sports where men and women can compete together at the highest level. 

She tells us about neck training with George Russell, cutting holes in seats and adapting pedals to level the playing field, and creating pathways for girls so it’s not just one woman who breaks into Formula One. 

The Jamie Chadwick Series is expanding this year to launch the UK’s first ever all-female junior karting series for girls aged 8-15. The series aims to close the gender participation gap in grassroots motorsports and provide a supportive community for young girls interested in racing.
