Formula 1 and motorsport journalist and podcaster Matt Clayton has worked in F1 for close to 30 years. He pioneered Formula 1 podcasting back in 2010 before, erm, everyone became a podcaster.
Matt sits down with Di and his thoughts about the 2025 F1 season, McLaren’s papaya rules, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris and of course Oscar Piastri.
He also shares stories of Bernie Ecclestone’s tactics to control interviews and ...
No yellow flags, no safety cars and no contact. The final race of the 2025 Formula 1 season was tense, because of what was at stake, but also quite boring as far as race action goes.
With Australian Oscar Piastri trailing championship leader by 16 points, his McLaren team mate Lando Norris, cinching the title was going to take more than pure race craft. Oscar needed a miracle, “a Bradbury”, especially with Red Bull’s Max ...
Late braking, fastest laps, pole positions and a sprint win at the Qatar Grand Prix saw a welcome return to Oscar Piastri’s top form.
However, in the main race, McLaren failed to pit both drivers on lap 7 of 57 when a safety car was deployed, when every other car on the grid did pit.
To add complexity to race strategies, it was mandated that the maximum a tyre could be used for was 25 laps, making Qatar a mandat...
The Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix has kept the World’s Drivers Champion wide open after both McLaren’s were disqualified after the race because the rear skid plates under the car were less than 9mm in depth.
Dianne Bortoletto is joined by Ciara Gillan from Formula Live Pulse and together they break down the race, the championship, and what needs to happen for Oscar Piastri or Max Verstappen to beat Lando Norris ...

The Formula 1 Sao Paolo Grand Prix in Brazil delivered plenty of action on the track and the results have upset the Australian apple cart.
McLaren’s Lando Norris drove an impeccable weekend in both the sprint and grand prix, qualifying on pole and finishing on the top step of both. While Norris fans are joyous, Piastri fans are deflated after a DNF in the sprint and 10-second time penalty in the race where he finished fif...
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 gat...

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 ...
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.

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, th...
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.
Australi...
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 tra...
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 M...
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 di...
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 alo...
Ep41: Talking multi-generational fandom, AI in F1, and about George Russell's manners with Greg Rust
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 specula...
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 reli...
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 Berli...
