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 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....

Ep36: F1, FIA and Motorsports PR - Alexandra Schieren
Since accidentally starting a career in motorsport, Alexandra Schieren has clocked up 25+ years’ experience that includes single-seater racing to being the FIA Formula 1 Press Delegate, working for race promoters, and drivers and in many different disciplines.
Alexandra generously shares stories of how she got her career start, and keeps Di and Mon enthralled as she tells of a time when tyres kept blowing up before the 2005 Indianapolis Grand Prix that saw only six F1 cars in the race, and what it was like working in the media centres during the first Las Vegas Grand Prix when that man hole cover ruined Carlos’ Sainz Ferrari F1 car during practice.
Now Alexandra Schieren has her own sports communication agency where she works with drivers, governing bodies, teams, race promoters and anyone looking to better their motorsport communication - visit https://alexandraschieren.com/about/ for more information.
We love her answers to our final three questions, too.
Which F1 destination would you go to for a holiday and why?
Which F1 driver dead or alive would you go on a holiday with and why?
What cuisine from an F1 race, current or former, would you cook and why?
We hope you enjoy our chat with Alexandra Schieren.
