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....

Ep23: F1 Saudi Arabia Grand Prix - Australians have waited 15 years for this
It was glorious back-to-back wins for McLaren’s Oscar Piastri who now leads the F1 World Drivers Championship, the first time an Australian had led the WDC since Mark Webber in 2010, Piastri’s manager.
Max Verstappen put up a fight, but getting his elbows out cost him a five second penalty, and perhaps, ultimately the race. While Max was angry with the race result, third-placed Charles Leclerc was ecstatic to give Ferrari their first F1 race podium of the 2025 season (not counting Lewis Hamilton’s Chinese sprint race pole and win). And what even is one one-hundreth of a second?
Di and Mon talk about some luxury accommodation in Saudi Arabia, some new projects under construction to attract tourists, and the difference between an Arabian kabsa and a Bahraini kabsa. What’s a kabsa? Listen to find out about this tasty national dish.
