Alt+F1: 26 - 09/23/2014 - Singapore Sabotage

The lights are down in Singapore, but before we watch Apollo 13 starring Nico Rosberg, we run by the concession stand and grab some hot water, explosive wings, and a pair of Maldonado Specials.

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.

Pretty good race, I love how even in a season like this the championship is being hotly contested.

Gotta say, I was about to go to sleep until that safety car livened things up. Ended up staying up until the end after that. Hammie played it close but ended up taking the lead comfortably.

I was actually cheering for Maldonado when he was in the points for a while there. What has this podcast done to me?

I don't know, I wasn't entertained by this race at all. Maybe I'm just salty that my boy Rosberg didn't make it even half way. It seemed like JEV and Perez were the only guys racing, everyone else was driving like grandmas. It just looked boring the whole time, and I hated all the helicopter shots. You couldn't see any cars, or scenery because it's the dead of night. "Monza" (AKA Monaco) at least looks pretty during the daytime.

I love how @dannyodwyer's impersonation of Dan Ryckert is just... Hunter S. Thompson.

Chickens are for eating, not grenading!

I'm Vietnamese-Australian and my favorite dish is my mums Vietnamese chicken curry. They don't often serve it in restaurants over here in Aus (so I guess it might also be uncommon in the US?), so maybe give it a try when you're over there. Not as good as my mum makes, but still pretty good.

Just watch out for shrapnel.

Oh, and try a custard apple smoothie. Mmmm

@dannyodwyer I believe it was actually Kobayashi's first 'Did Not Start'. Pretty sure I heard DNS, not DNF.

"Ignore the beeps" is related to fuel saving and the optimal gear shift zone. They basically told Vettel he didn't need to save fuel at this stage and just push.

Here's a neat overview of the tyre strategy at Singapore.

Also here's a GFY of Perez' wing exploding

Regarding Magnussen and his hands during the safety car, I don't think it was cramps but rather him trying to cool down a bit. This is Magnussen after the race:

His suit has almost melted off his back! Great fighting to finish in the points.

Sounds like his water was boiling too. Singapore is rough!

It was sad to see the race restarting after the safety car and Hamilton's car just speeding away from Vettel. He was at more than a second in no time and shortly after he was at 18+ seconds. The speed difference between those Mercedes and everyone else is insane.

@drewbert I used to watch Mail Call all the time when I was in middle school! I loved that show! My stepdad actually managed to get R Lee Ermey's signature for me at some cop gun show (my stepdad's a cop) because I was such a big fan of the show.

I don't think Drew pays rent anywhere, he just sleeps in the control room in between his crazy travel adventures.

Also, Apollo 13 picture. :D

That Ryckert impression. Dying here xD

It really is. Just when you think the others are catching up the Mercedes reveals its true, unbelievably quick pace. If that 100kg fuel limit wasn't in place they'd just fly away.

Edit: and the fuel flow rate limit
