And Away We Go F1 Podcast

Formula 1 + Travel + Food + Lifestyle

And Away We Go F1 Podcast goes beyond the track limits to explore Formula 1, from the racing to the travel, food and lifestyle of Grand Prix destinations.

Hosted by Dianne Bortoletto, a pre-Drive to Survive F1 fan, travel writer and publicist with experience working in motorsport, the podcast offers a different perspective on the sport.

Expect race recaps, informed opinion, thoughtful discussion, and interviews with journalists, industry insiders and guests who have experienced Formula 1 up close.

Until lights out.

Ep36: F1, FIA and Motorsports PR - Alexandra Schieren

July 22, 2025 • Dianne Bortoletto & Monique Ceccato • Season 1 • Episode 36

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.
