Alt+F1: 101 - Malaysian GP & Japanese GP Prerace 2016

We do our best to avoid large chickens while recapping perhaps the best race this season along with a makeshift Button-themed pub, stone-faced shoe drinkers, and celebrating in the nude.

Alt+F1 is a weekly Formula 1 podcast from your friends at Giant Bomb. We run down the twists and turns of Earth's fastest and most expensive urinating contest. Join us for race recaps, news from the wide world of racing and the latest on Pastor Maldonado.

Multi 21 was a code for car 2 (Mark Webber) to finish ahead of car 1 (Seb Vettel). Vettel ignored that message and overtook Webber to win. That is why Webber said Multi 21 to Vettel because the order had come in to stay in the positions they were in.

Multi 33 should have been Multi 333 because Ricciardo is car 3 and Verstappen is car 33.

I do not believe my countrymen were actually naked, just wearing 'budgie-smugglers' (Speedos). Still illegal in Malaysia to my knowledge.

Also RIC, my man, finally.

Multi-21 was not about an engine setting, it was about car #2(Webber), should finish in front of car #1(Vettel). Vettel didn't listen.

Ricciardo is Driver 3, and Verstappen is 33, so the radio message would've been "Multi 333"

Really recommend watching the GP2 races from last weekend too. Some solid racing there.

yeah those Australian's weren't naked, they had Malaysian-flag printed Budgie Smugglers/Speedos on. Still not in great taste, but they definitely weren't naked.

Suzuka originally was a test circuit, which is why it has such crazy variety in one track. Suzuka Circuit and Twin Ring Motegi are both owned by Honda (the MotoGP still races at Motegi, they haven't been to Suzuka since Daijiro Katoh died). Fuji Speedway used to be owned by Mitsubishi but now is owned by Toyota, and the updates in the early 2000s were done when Toyota was mad with trying to get established in F1.

I remember the Max Mosley story coming out, and thinking most of it was nobody's business really. One interesting thing I did learn as a result of it was that Max Mosley's father was Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Fascist party.

That do they feed the chickens in Thailand? Well all I can tell you is I went to a cockfight in Laos where they fed the roosters M-150 energy drink. That stuff really gets you going.

Disappointed with Danny's take on the Max Mosley-scandal. Not really my place to judge what consenting adults do in the privacy or their homes, or what kinks they might have.

I went to high school with one of the guys who pulled the stunt, the one who had to step down from his 150k job because of it. Can confirm he was a fuckwit back then too.
