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....

Ep19: Chinese F1 Grand Prix, Piastri’s first pole and Lewis’s first win in red
The 2025 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix delivered all the action, epic results, and kept fans in suspense - and then dreams were shattered with post-race disqualifications. The Sprint Race added an exciting win for the Tifosi, and Australians are still beaming from Piastri’s first pole and his dominating conversion to the top step. Di and Mon chat about the rumours flying around, rookies who redeemed themselves and Monique’s spookily accurate predictions that are playing out.
We unpack the F1 Race in Shanghai, talk about China and the things we’d love to see and do in Shanghai. Mon also shares what her F1 themed meal was, taking inspiration from nearby Sichuan thanks to our favourite recipe site, Recipe Tin Eats.
We hope you enjoyed the Chinese F1 Race as much as we did.
