Away We Go Podcast

Flying solo this week, Di recaps all the action from Spielberg at the Austrian Grand Prix. While Monique is living her best travel writer life on board a cruise in Svalbard seeing polar bears and kayaking through icebergs, Di revelled in the thrill of the race. The fight between the McLarens is well and truly on with Lando Norris qualifying on pole and leading the race, with a tenacious and hungry Oscar Piasti nipping at his heels for the first 20 laps. It made for exciting racing. 

Surprising DNFs from world champions and crowd favourites, and some rookie mistakes that almost saw Australian Oscar Piastri out of the race. 

Knowing that the internet rarely plays nice when cruising (Di had to miss our Canadian F1 ep as a result of weak signal), we prerecorded Monique’s race predictions for Austria, and also for Silverstone next week. 

And yes, Di did rush out to see F1 the Movie. Have you seen it, what did you think?

After missing in action last week, Di is back on deck to tackle all of the important topics with Mon, like how difficult watching the F1 in another language is, the best and worst dressed drivers at the F1 Movie premiere, and the re-signing of one of our favourite team principals.

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.

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.

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 Flavio Briatore. They thought much more positively about Barcelona, with Mon throwing in a hot tip about where to place yourself on the plane flying in, and Di sharing a cool bar that was once Pablo Picasso's residence. If you're into Spanish food, you're in for a treat this week. We're sharing not one, but TWO fabulous recipes, and some cool food tours you can do with a fellow Australian travel writer.

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 the Principality, what you should see and do when there, and some tips on where to stay if you are planning a trip to the Monaco GP.  Monique also talks about two Monégasque dishes. 

What are your thoughts on the two pit stop rule? Leave us a comment below or on socials.

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, because we have a 'no swearing' policy on the podcast. Though Di did come close to breaking that rule when she found out Mon didn't get the chance to cook anything from the region for race day...

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.

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.

There’s also a whole bunch of Miami chat—fake lashes, fake tans, and fake boobs is how Di imagines the city to be—and Monique gets her grump on about Netflix and the ‘Hollywood effect’.

The co-author of Mark Webber’s two books, plus about 16 others, seasoned Formula 1 editorial manager and writer Stuart Gunn opens up about his 40-year career working on F1 events and writing about motorsport.

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 our chat with Stuart Gunn (formerly Sykes).
