Stephen Corby is one of Australia’s leading motoring journalists, who “very occasionally gets to cover F1, and wishes he could do so more often”. Sitting down with Di, Stephen recounts the weekend with Nicole Piastri and the surprising things she said about Oscar, his interviews with Mark Webber, the Monaco Grand Prix and how he ended up in a jacuzzi with a Euro pop star, and witnessing the utterly unbelievable “crash gate”. Stephen describes in detail the sheer exhilaration of drivin...

Ay caramba! The 20th race of the 24-race season, the Mexican Grand Prix, was thrilling and exhausting in equal measure. So much action on the track, and lots of off-track excursions too. Lando Norris scored the grand slam in Mexico City at the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix; pole position, he led every lap, and he convincingly won, putting him the lead in the World Drivers Championship by the narrowest of margins, just one point. Oscar Piastri has been battling with the car for the last thr...

Austin, Texas, race 19 of the 24-race F1 season saw Max Verstappen take pole and win both the sprint race and the main race. With two McLaren DNFs in the sprint, thus scoring no points, Max is closing in on the World Drivers Championship, just 40 points behind Oscar, and 26 points behind Lando. Monique is unwell this week and Di is joined by Formula Live Pulse co-founder Ciara Gillan, an Irish national living in Berlin. The business and life partner of Simone Scanu who was our guest on Epis...

Just back from Singapore, F1 journalist Reilly Sullivan, steps in for Monique Ceccato. Reilly shares all the rumours and media chatter he heard on the ground. One year on from his first interview with Nico Hulkenberg, Reilly interviews the former HAAS driver and talks about the new Audi Team. Of course, ‘Papaya Rules’ is still the topic de jour, we chat about Jack Doohan, the drivers' girlfriends on the broadcast, the World Drivers Championship and more juicy rumours. If you wan...

McLaren might have sewn up the Constructor’s Championship in Singapore on the weekend, but the race has left fans fuming at the inconsistent ‘Papaya Rules’. George Russell was dominant and won convincingly, Fernando Alonso was awarded ‘Driver of the Day, and Carlos Sainz made up 10 places to finish in the points, but all of that was overshadowed with what happened on lap 1 between the McLaren teammates. Australian and leader of the F1 World Drivers Standings, Oscar Piastri, copp...

It might have been a non-race week, but that doesn't mean Di and Mon didn't have plenty to talk about. There's been sad news from the Hamilton family, some feel-good news coming from the Haas camp, and some rather surprising views as far as Lando Norris is concerned. Join us for a quick chat about all that's been happening in the F1 world this week before we get back to regular race programming post-Singapore.

It defies belief, but this weekend's qualifying in Baku brought out not one, not two, but SIX red flags. History has been made, and not for the right reasons. Despite the carnage in setting the grid, the race was relatively uneventful after the opening lap. Though we did see some less familiar faces gracing the podium steps, which we're always here for. While we definitely had our eyes on the interval times in that DRS train that nobody could get off, we also kept an eye on things outside the...

What is the one question you would ask an F1 driver if you were interviewing them for a story? Nico Hulkenberg, Jack Doohan, Zhou Guanyu and Gabriel Bortoleto have all been interviewed by lifestyle reporter and F1 journalist Reilly Sullivan, who is our special guest on this week’s episode. Any aspiring F1 journalists out there, this episode is for you - Riley gives some tips on how to become a F1 journalist, with Di and Mon chiming in, drawing on their experience as journalists. Reill...

We thought last week's DNF at the Dutch Grand Prix was quite the talking point, but it seems it was just the warm-up for this week. Yet again, we've got plenty of Maclaren happenings to talk about. But that gossip isn't to be outdone by Stefano Domenicali's outrageous claims, or news of what Daniel Ricciardo is up to next. And, if you've got a touch of Italophilia, stick around until the end for discussions about Monza, Milano, and some of the most delicious regional meals you can find there...

The Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort certainly delivered a thrilling race. As Monique describes it, flags, failures and firsts. From the high of all highs seeing Oscar Piastri extend his lead of the F1 World Drivers Championship, to the low of lows with a double DNF for Ferrari and that championship-ending mechanical failure for Lando, The Netherlands F1 Race had it all. The home boy hero, Max Verstappen, finished second along with a first-timer on the third step, adding a mega feel-good ...

Greg Rust—better known as Rusty of Rusty's Garage and Australian Grand Prix racetrack commentary fame—has plenty of stories to tell. He regales Di and Mon with tales of getting to know the 'real' Liam Lawson, interviewing Mark Webber right before he took to the championship fight, and Nikki Lauder meet-ups (unfortunately, not with him). There's even a bit of unexpected Lando praise from the trio, and some speculating as to what Bottas and Ricciardo might get up to next #whatsnext You ca...

Did you spot any F1 drivers on summer holidays? Di and Mon have cyber stalked all the F1 accounts to see how the drivers are spending their time off. Sardinia comes out as the top destination for F1 drivers. Di shares some of her Sardinian insights along with an island paradise a bit closer to home that has beaches that are just as stunning. Mon has tried bumping into F1 drivers during Euro Summer to no avail, and Di relives memories of meet some Australian F1 drivers. #f1summer...

What tyre did Hamilton change to in the pitstop? Has Leclerc pitted yet? Who was fastest in the middle sector? What is Norris’ engineer saying to him? What’s the interval between Piastri and Verstappen? You can have all the data at your fingertips in real time with the Formula Live Pulse app. Di and Mon chat with the app creator Simone Scanu about Formula Live Pulse, his love of Formula 1, being an Italian living in Berlin, and his career journey.

Anything but predictable, the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix was full of surprises (even for a certain Ferrari driver!) and unexpected results. Ferrari’s first pole of the season, two Aston Martins qualifying in the top ten ahead of Max Verstappen who qualified eight. In fact, it was the closest qualifying in Formula history. Strategy played a big role in the race result that Monique (reporting from a super yacht in Croatia) and Di unpack. Budapest is also a beautiful travel des...

In Di's own words: "The Belgian Grand Prix was exciting, then a fizzer". What could have been an action-packed wet race was mighty mundane after the first ten or so laps, with just one driver daring to try a different strategy. But, Belgium (the country) makes up for Belgium (the race) with beautiful architecture and some pretty bangin' national dishes, which Di and Mon have some fun reminiscing about.

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 w...

Huge news in Formula 1 this week with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner sacked with immediate effect. Over the last few days, we’ve read the news and the speculation continues. Did IT happen again? Did Max give an ultimatum? Is next year’s power unit a dud? Is Max leaving Red Bull? What have you heard? What do you think? Comment below. Finally Monique went to see F1 the Movie, so we can finally talk about it. You’ll know when there’s spoilers - so don’t worry, you can pause the pod ...

The Formula 1 British Grand Prix did not disappoint. Wind, rain, sunshine and rain again, and again, brought the safety car out more times than changes to Red Bull’s second seat. The best story of the weekend was Nico Hulkenberg’s first podium finish after 15 years and 239 races. McLaren’s Lando Norris took the top step to be the hometown hero winning his first British Grand Prix, but we hardly talked about it because THAT penalty that was served to Oscar Piastri ruined his chance of a...

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. Sur...
