And Away We Go F1 Podcast

And Away We Go F1 Podcast goes beyond the track limits to talk about Formula 1, travel, food and lifestyle of F1 destinations.

Hosted by Dianne Bortoletto a pre-Drive to Survive (D2S) F1 fan, and Monique Ceccato, a post-D2S fan. In each half-hour episode, they recap the race, unpack F1 rumours, hold thought-provoking discussions, interview interesting people, and chat about the lifestyle surrounding the world’s greatest sport, including travel, food and, if Lewis’ outfit warrants it, fashion.

Although they’re separated by 14,000 kilometres—Di in Margaret River in southwest Western Australia and Monique in Norway—F1 brought them close together. Since discovering they both live to hear the words “Lights out and away we go!” they’ve been blowing up each others’ inboxes with facts, opinions, and rumours every race weekend. When messages escalated to long voice memos, the idea for And Away We Go F1 Podcast was born.

As travel writers and food lovers, Di and Mon bring a new perspective to Formula 1, going beyond the track limits to share the places, people and cuisine of each F1 host destination with listeners.

Thanks for listening. Until lights out....

Dianne Bortoletto

Di is a F1 mega fan. Her obsession was sparked at her first PR job in London working on the OrangeArrows F1 account when Jos Verstappen (yes, Max’s dad) was the driver. Drive to Survive is the best documentary ever made according to Di because it opened her world to more F1 friends, like Monique. From London, Di moved back to her native Melbourne, and shortly after to Perth, to work on the World Rally Championship where she was PR Manager for the city’s last six WRC Rally Australia events back when Carlos Sainz (Senior) was a driver. She worked at Tourism WA and then opened her own PR firm, Pronto PR in 2010 where she works with clients in tourism, major events, hospitality and motorsport. Di is also an awarded freelance travel and food writer.

Italian heritage (and an Italian passport holder) means that Di’s blood is Ferrari Red by default. She’s a proud tifosi and can’t promise to always be impartial. That’s Mon’s job.
