Alt+F1: 38 - Malaysian GP 2015

Screw Ferrari.

Yes can't wait to hear your thoughts on the best race of the season yet.

Best podcast about SPEEDY RACECARS! Hope this race sets the standard for the rest of the season.

Forza and stuff! Hot shots?

Caught this one on the BBC. This was quite the race.

I watched MotoGP after and it made F1 look so bad, that MotoGP was one of the best I've seen in years though. Omg Danny/Drew, if there was ever a race to watch... watch that! Just constant overtaking of 4 bikes fighting for 1st.

Meanwhile F1 had no overtaking and for some reason there was this massive buzz just because someone different won. F1 is so boring now, these new engines suck and it is sad when the biggest excitement is caused by the surprise that one team might not win every race.

Meanwhile Renault and Redbull are threatening to leave which would basically make F1 all about Merc engines and Red Bull would take two teams with them, though they're signed up till 2020, but paying that fine is probably less than what F1 costs to try and run two teams.

Give me F1 2007 back, now there is a classic season, 2010 and 2012 were also pretty great.

Such a great race!

VROOOOOOOOM!

@zabant: Screwderia Ferrari?

I can't wait to listen to this, it was an awesome race!

Yay Vettel!

I'm no Ferrari fan, but actual competition is good. Plus I like the dorky engineer German better than the Monaco pretty boy German.

F1 was a good race.

MotoGP race was EPIC!!!!

If you missed you should watch it.

Second race I've ever watched!

Really enjoyed this airplane podcast :P

If the Scuderia keep this up this season could be amazing.

Glad to see you guys got special guest Dave Lang on for this one!

I wish. :( Well, maybe he'll talk about his conflicting feelings about Vettel on GFB Radio.

@venekor: "I know you guys are really excited and had fun watching that race but let me tell you why you're wrong"

I really wonder what is preventing the F1 people from making something like the MotoGP Video Pass. You can just pay 100 Euros and get the entire MotoGP season for all 3 classes with all Practises, Qualifyings and Races plus an archive of all races since 1992. I guess it has something to do with the broadcasters maybe?

@LunarJetman: it's because Bernie just doesn't "get it"
he thinks it's a waste of time to attract young fans because they don't have money

The motorsport Danny mention at the start is Speedway. It is very big in Poland and here in Scandinavia:

It is a constant drift around a dirt track.

@LunarJetman: Primarily conflicts with pre-existing television rights contracts.

But yes, also because Bernie is an old stuck in the mud fart.

Drew's malay is great! =D

the tuesday podcast that matters!

Yes! Forza Ferrari!

@zabant: Great comment

@venekor: What a fantastic race in Qatar. It was great seeing Ducati competitive again too.

Robert Kubica would be that Polish rally driver.

Forza Ferr-any team other than Mercedes!

So exciting that someone else might be winning this year! Testing and Australia made things look very, very bleak.

Also I just wanted to say the podcast music selection has been excellent, keep up the good work Drew!

Assisted Harrier landing described by Drew and Danny. Amazing stuff for sure.

@ibeatthestig: Yeah, I turned F1 on and walk out of the room for 20 mins, came back and nothing happened. Meanwhile with MotoGP I was glued to my seat the whole race, my heart was pumping and I was shouting for Rossi.

Bernie needs to go, he is ruining F1 and we have two real boring tracks which are the exact same layout in China and Malaysia. Go and race them in the game and compare them, they're twins.

@venekor: The buss in motoGP was totally not becouse someone else won and becouse Ducati finally is up there and can challange...

lets hope ferrari can keep up.

After watching this race, I'm hooked. Got F1 2014 on PC and now loosely following the scene. Am I on a slippery slope?!

I just re-watched the F1 and MotoGP races today.

Good to see Ferrari, Rossi and the Ducatis up there again!!

Steve Machett noticed that Massa shook is head a little bit frustrated after his team took so long getting the car out of the pits. I had a rewind it a couple times to see it but it does kind of look like he's shaking his head lol.

When your tire is punctured, and you get knocked down to 18th only to drive your way back up to 4th place.... IT'S KIMI TIME!!!

Fun fact: Wing mounted ordinance would break loose all the time during carrier operations. You can find footage of deck crews rushing to push runaway bombs off the sides with their bare hands.

The camera operator doesn't make it.

On top of terrible visibility due to cockpit location, Corsairs had a tendency to bounce on landing.

Luckily cold cats aren't a common occurrence.

I was so excited to hear this episode after that race.

Lap chart mentioned http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2015/03/29/how-mercedes-safety-car-strategy-backfired/

Here on mobile. Why does it only surface the newest premium podcast? How does one find a list? How does one find Danswers?!

A cool info-graph of the race, grease up your scroll wheels!!

I'm not sure if we truly have a multi team battle on our hands. Not yet. Malaysia is obviously a super hot place, and the fact that the new Ferrari is designed by James Allison (he also designed Kimi's Lotus cars) makes me believe that Vettel's victory was mostly down to tyre managment, and the Ferrari's appearant ease on the tires. Malaysia is one of the tracks where tyre managment is the most important (its easy to overheat them) so Ferrari might very well fall back a little at other tracks.

Great episode, guys!
