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....

Ep22: Bahrain Grand Prix - Perfection from Piastri and a unique souvenir
It was perfection from Piastri with a pole position that Monique watched from the Paddock Club. The oldest F1 track in the Middle East delivered excitement with plenty of overtaking action, penalties galore, an opportune safety car, a DNF, and a disqualification. The (mostly) two stop race had drivers on different strategies and different tyres, with some teams not learning the lessons from others when tyres didn't fire up.
Mon, in situ, recording from a luxe over-water bungalow and Di from a new home office studio, chat about Formula 1’s new global sponsor which Di welcomes but Mon finds polarising.
Monique shares some insights into Bahraini culture that seems to be a far cry from the Middle Eastern stereotypes. And she shares her Paddock Club experience, the re-wilding of the Hawa Islands and the culinary delights of Bahrain. Plus picking up a free and unusual souvenir.
The Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix reminds us why we love F1 so much.
Thank you to the Premier Group and Spotlight Communications for hosting Monique in Bahrain.
