  • Great blend of F1, travel and food

    Love hearing what Di and Mon have to say. They are passionate about F1 and I love that they own their Aussie bias for Oscar Piastri.

  • Saudi apologists

    Can’t believe the over the top pro Saudi stance given their treatment of journalists. Google Saudi Arabia journalist to find the story. People don’t agree with F1 being in Saudi because of their human rights record. The sport has a duty to not support abusive governments. You both need to stay on race discussion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep72: The brutal truth about Formula 1, with Stewart Bell
Q: If you could go to any Grand Prix race, which would you pick and why?
Brazil, specifically Interlagos, because the track and its ghosts create a palpable connection to the sport's history; the energy, history, and atmosphere make it the ultimate destination for a true fan seeking a deep, immersive experience.
Ep 64: Shanghai Grand Prix and China travel guide; F1 journalist living in Beijing, Reilly Sullivan
Q: What should travelers know about visiting Shanghai for the Grand Prix?
Visa policies have liberalized for many Western travelers, the city is incredibly reachable via high-speed rail and air connections, and the experience combines affordable travel with world-class hospitality, food, and entertainment options.
Ep 64: Shanghai Grand Prix and China travel guide; F1 journalist living in Beijing, Reilly Sullivan
Q: What was it like covering the Shanghai Grand Prix from the media side?
The accreditation followed FIA processes, the media center in Shanghai was expansive and top-tier, and speaking with Joe Guan Yu offered a local perspective on Shanghai's role in F1 as both a city and a hub for the sport.
Ep 64: Shanghai Grand Prix and China travel guide; F1 journalist living in Beijing, Reilly Sullivan
Q: What motivated you to move to China and start covering motorsport there?
I saw an English-language job opportunity in China that promised a chance to work overseas as a journalist, which I viewed as the dream; after navigating the paperwork and relocation, I started continuing to cover motorsport from a Chinese base.
Ep68 Rachel Brookes Sky Sports F1 broadcaster and author
Q: How has Drive to Survive impacted your work and access in the paddock?
She explains that the series dramatically broadened the audience and helped fans understand the people and dynamics of the sport, while also noting that access to drivers for one-to-one interviews has diminished as teams gain more direct media channels.
