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

Kers is a go!

Racing doesn't wait for Bombcasts to end!!!

Thanks Brad!

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

Bombcast counter-programming!

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.

Thanks to Maldonado continuing to do what he does best over the weekend I came across a very informative Twitter account for F1 fans-

Have you guys considered filming these for the premium members?

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.

@dezinus: i definitely exclaimed "Holy shit pastor in 10th!?"

remember that song...the one we used to play...

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

I'm gonna getcha... everyday.

Ah Apollo 13. That was a fun movie.

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.

Yay, love this podcast.

Danny i propose you make Dan Ryckert watch the next race with you with a few drinking games and some mickeys and then podcast the results.

"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.

@dannyodwyer Whigfield is Danish, dammit!

@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.

What song is that outro? Is this something I should know? it sounds familiar.

what is your major malfunction

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

I always find it interesting watching f1 clips with commentators different from mine.

Thanks a lot @dannyodwyer, hearing this song took me back to primary school and now I feel really old.

Jarhead is a great movie

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

I live in Singapore and I didn't know that there's an F1 race going on here!

Oh man. If Danny forced Ryckert to watch a race and do an episode of Alt+F1 while Drew is away it would be the best thing

I know you can read MY thoughts boy, miau miau miau miau, miau miau miau miau, miau miau miau miau miau miau miau miau!

Man, that guy from Apollo 13 at the top could be a 50 year old version of Dave!

Please make this next weeks podcast outro.
