While Dianne is away, the internet doesn't want to play, so Monique is holding down the fort and hosting this episode solo. Unfortunately, there's no banter between friends, and no poking fun at Di for having to watch the entire race weekend in French because, though she's in Italy, the cruise ship she's on is French. But, there's plenty of praise for Lando despite his 'stupid' mistake, and even more for Kimi Antonelli and his first-time podium. #F1montreal #F1canada #CanadianGrandPrix #Canad...

2025/06/09

Though there wasn't a race to keep us occupied this week, we managed just fine with seven episodes of F1: The Academy to get through on Netflix. Spoiler alert: we loved it. Why? You'll have to have a listen. While we're free of racing action, we also tackle the hard questions—like who we'd put in the car to replace Stroll while he's injured, and which driver on the current grid we think would have the best autobiography—and play a quick-fire round of association.

2025/06/02

We can all thank Mercedes, a dodgy power unit, and a terrible Red Bull tyre strategy for this week's Grand Prix action. The race, held in Barcelona, was a bit of a bust until lap 55, when Kimi Antonelli's car, once again, failed him. A safety car, cheap pit stops, and a poorly chosen three-stop strategy meant there was a whole lot of action in the closing few laps. It was primarily 'Mad' Verstappen. Di has some choice words about Verstappen and his temper, while Mon mostly reserved hers for ...

2025/05/26

To spice up the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, the FIA introduced a mandatory two-pit stop rule where drivers had to use two different compound tyres. After a lot of hype and talk about this new rule, it made the race oh-so-utterly boring. Di describes it as a ‘snooze fest’. The best part? Australian Oscar Piastri on the podium getting a little bit mixed up when the trophies were being handed out. Monique and Di have both been to Monaco several times and share the things they love about...

2025/05/19

Considering Imola is a race track the commentators kept telling us was 'a hard one to overtake on', this year's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was anything but boring. We lost count of the number of overtakes we saw on track. And, we couldn't possibly discuss the race without mentioning the gold-standard overtake and the two safety cars that completely changed the game. Unfortunately, Mon wasn't allowed to repeat the very short and succinct voice message she sent Di when *that overtake* happened, ...

We're only six races into the 2025 F1 season, but it feels like we've been through a whole lot more together. Just in the last week, we've seen a Doohan demotion, a team principal departure (ciao, Ollie Oakes), and one of the current drivers' dads eyeing off top spot at the FIA. Naturally, we tackle all of this and more in this week's episode of And Away We Go F1 Podcast.

And Away We Go F1 Podcast ·

2025/05/05

We love sprint weekends! This one was full of action; we had the youngest ever F1 pole sitter, a rain-delayed sprint race, penalties and DNFs in both the sprint and the main race, and some very cool sponsor activations. The best part? Australian Oscar Piastri scored a hat-trick in winning the Miami GP, and continues his charge at the top of the F1 World Drivers Championship. It’s the first time a McLaren driver has won three back-to-back races since 1997/1998, when Mika Hakkinen did it. T...

From insights into the biography writing process to how he got his break working in motorsport and working with greats like Jackie Stewart, the softly spoken Scot enthrals Di and Mon with his Formula 1 stories. A multi-lingual wordsmith, Stuart is still working in F1. We hope you enjoy...

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 Ham...

2025/04/14

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...

There might not have been much excitement on the track, but there’s plenty to unpack from the Japanese Formula 1 Grand Prix at Suzuka. It was Red Bull’s Max Verstappen’s first pole since Austria last year, which he converted to a win in a flawless drive, and the McLaren’s finished in second and third thanks to a risk-free race strategy. All eyes were on the drivers Yuki Tsonoda who was promoted to Oracle Red Bull, and Liam Lawson who was demoted to Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, with interesting...

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.

Well, who could have predicted that?

In this episode, we unpack the race that was, talk about heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, Di's fabulous last-minute Melbourne GP experience, and support a fellow Aussie—Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats—by planning a Aussie-...

There’s so much to look forward to when the lights go out at Melbourne’s Albert Park this Sunday, 16th March, so we take a moment to sit down and discuss all the things we think we’re going to see over this 24-race season.

A slick production, there was a lot of video, plenty of bright lights, lots of music, and some fun and some awkward banter between the host, the drivers and the commentary team. Did you also get Hunger Games vibes? Di & Mon unpack the first ever season launch and not always agreeing. They chat about the unexpected moments d...
