Alt+F1: 89 - British GP 2016

Danny's out sick this week so you know what that means: the Big Bopper himself Dave Lang joins us for hot takes on rules that suck, the concession stand at Spa, and who else but Pastor Maldonado.

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.

The one day I'm sick is the day Lang is in town. Couldn't have timed it better myself.

Take a ride into The Lang Zone...

Nyooooooooommmmm!

I'd also like to register my disapproval of mayonnaise on chips. I would, however, accept mayo mixed with a little curry powder. Or just ketchup. Or HP Sauce. Or vinegar. But no plain mayonnaise, thank you.

Dutch mayo, the stuff you put on chips, is a little creamier and tastes different to the American stuff, I'd probably throw up if I had to put American mayo on chips, but the dutch stuff is all good.

@supa_kappa: I sometimes mix American ketchup and American mayo when I'm feeling fancy. It's not bad.

Lang is a Scottish name, so he still counts as Celtic and therefore eligible for the O'Dwyer seat.

The rule is very simple, if you need to tell your driver that the car is about to fail, you are ok to tell him to get off the track, not "watch out your brakes are heating"

as in, you can tell the driver his car is about to become unsafe to drive, if you are taking him out of the race.

I wouldn't mind Lang if he watched the darn race. Next time I'd rather wait a day if it means a better cast.

You don't put any mayo on British Chips for the British. You put salt and vinegar on them.

But the only correct answer for chip condiments is aioli, you're welcome btw.

The Lang Zone Alt+F1s are always my favorites. No lie, I beat Olmec in Spelunky for the first time whilst listening to one of them.

Why is there mayonnaise on those chips, this isn't Nürburgring!

PS. Quite like mayo on chip and wedges, paired with a sweet chili, delicious.

I usually only include show notes for stuff that requires a visual, like a video we talked about or something. I don't think we mentioned anything beyond written articles unless I'm forgetting something, but if you'd like a link to something specific that we talked about I'd be happy to share!

@drewbert: The only visual things I was interested in were In case someone had collated all the times racers went off at the first turn during the race because of the rain. Also, at 32:55 you mention the green-room conversation with Verstappen and Hamilton and said it was worth watching (which, despite watching the face live, I wasn't shown that).

I also wanted to check out that Aston Martin car, but I noticed you linked in the previous podcast so I checked that out.

I think it would be pretty cool to link the articles you are reading anyway but I understand it might be extra work that isn't worth it.

Thanks for replying, though! <3

I nearly burst out laughing in the doctors office when I read that Pastor would come back to f1 if he could get a competitive ride, like I thought he'd be lucky to get a shot in a manor or renault let alone something that has a good shot at points on a consistent basis!

Ketchup and brown mustard mixed is also good.

Many delicious things to have with your chips include:

  • Mayo
  • Salt and sauce
  • Cheese and gravy

Cheese curd.

@briarpack: The kind of horrible American that goes to Belgium for Spa instead of travellin' to Tejas for some real racin' around the ole' Circuit of them thar Americas.

It's even funnier to me because Raikkonen is probably the driver on the grid that best embodies the Lang Zone.™
