Ep22: Bahrain Grand Prix - Perfection from Piastri and a unique souvenir

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 a new home office studio, chat about Formula 1’s new global sponsor which Di welcomes but Mon finds polarising. Monique shares some insights into Bahraini culture that seems to be a far cry from the Middle Eastern stereotypes. And she shares her Paddock Club experience, the re-wilding of the Hawa Islands and the culinary delights of Bahrain. Plus picking up a free and unusual souvenir. The Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix reminds us why we love F1 so much.Thank you to the Premier Group and Spotlight Communications for hosting Monique in Bahrain. #BahrainF1 #HawaIslands Formula Live Pulse Apphttps://apps.apple.com/au/app/formula-live-pulse/id6739639442Send us a textSupport the showYou’ll find more photos and videos on the And Away We Go F1 Podcast social media channels: YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | TikTok Help shape the future of the podcast.
