Alt+F1: 28 - 10/13/2014 - Enter The DRS Lang-Zone

It's been quite the fortnight in the world of speedy race cars. So what better time to invite Giant Bomb Chicago's Dave Lang on to talk about attending races, biz-dev, Bernie's breakfast and Sochi for about five minutes.

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.

I hear that Dave Lang is a good human being. Looking forward to listening to my first Alt+F1 later tonight. The Lang Zone has sucked me in.

Dave Lang is not someone you just invite over; he follows vampire rules. Now, he is able to just show up whenever and wreck your stuff and you'll possibly probably end up with bite marks.

Let's see if my question got through.

EDIT:

As expected Dave Lang is a great guest. Not just for the yuks either. Real talk. Life lessons even.

Monza is way easier to get to than Silverstone, the train straight there from central Milan is 30 minutes

I will forever remember this podcast as the one I was listening to during the first time I beat Olmec in Spelunky. It's all thanks to Dave Lang and Danny O'Dwyer!

Dave Lang is always a welcome, wonderful, smart, funny, excellent guest. We're always happy to have him.

Thanks for getting me through the rainiest Chicago commute of the year! Speeding down Lake Shore at 2 mph! Yeah!

And wait, oh shit, I think I got that first paragraph all backwards.

@csl316: I hear ya! The last two days have been brutal for driving with all the rain. Trying to get home via "88" was a nightmare with the rain yesterday.

If anybody's interested in the Azerbaijan street circuit, here's the track layout. Personally, it looks like one of the dullest tracks that I've seen, and I'm hoping that it's a safety car magnet, just so something happens.

Also, don't be surprised if it takes a while for the Honda engines to get up to speed, but I feel like they're in it for the long haul and they will get there in the end.

Holy cow, Dave Lang is such a baller. He's been watching F1 for 3 years and is already making connections with Sir Jackie Stewart, I am literally blown away! By which I mean my ear buds were blown out of my ears with the awesomeness of the Lang Zone!

@moffattron9000: At least Honda already have some experience in F1 so that should help. It's been awhile though. They come, then go, then come, then go..

@gulinotm: Despite their being a engine maker since forever, Mercedes has taken five years of hard work and obscene expenses to be where they are today. They'll be working with a struggling McLaren, and will need to build an engine team basically from scratch. I really want them to be an elite team with an elite engine to match, but at the end of the day, these things take time. That being said, I'm stoked for their return, and can't wait for them with hopefully a car that isn't metal colored, with at least one elite driver, and if we're lucky, a Toyota wanting to one-up them

What was the term Dave Lang used to refer to Ferari? I've never heard it before.

For some reason listening to Dave Lang talk about how Ricciardo is always smiling made me realize he's F1's Brad Muir. How late am I with this insight?

Its all a part of their 10 year plan, get other people to do work for them and bask in the glory.
