Alt+F1: 71 - 2016 Preseason Primer

Vroom Vroom

The proletariat rejoices!

Free is not a word I generally associate with F1 though...

Hey Pastor...

Pastor Maldonado :'(

Yus my favourite automotive podcast is back.

Speedy racecars return!

I still have never watched an F1 race, but I've listened to every one of these podcasts.

Glad to see you back.

Fantastic, just was wondering when this would return!

Freeeeeeeer!!!!

Don't have time to listen to this until later, but do they explain why the podcast has gone free? Just curious.

Anyone able to find the feed on their podcast app?

Free?...so there is micro payments here somewhere..

Nyooooooom. Speedy race cars won't be the same without our friend Pastor but I'm excited for this new season nonetheless.

Come on in y'all free users. Here's a good place to get hooked on the sport.

Welcome back, boys!

What a season, what a season!

Been waiting for this one. I'll be attending a race myself this year for a second time, too.

FREEEEEE

I can't wait to see the results of the updated qualifying rules. I hope it's enough to start making every GP a memorable one.

Speedy Racecars! i am so excite!

Here we go again. Really excited for the new season and more Alt+F1.

Subscribed on my iPhone using the rss button above, opening it in news app and then it diverting to podcasts to subscribe to its url! Weird but worked!

Hey pastor!!!

Wait F1 season starts again already? Yay speedy racecars nyyyrrooooom.

First one (for each season) is usually free.

Alternative F1..? Does that mean they will talk about the superior MotoGP? :D

FUCK TO THE YEAH!!!!!!!!!! holy christ this is the best surprise of the month.

What will danny do with no pastor?

True, but the person is talking about the entire podcast going free

@tuggah: No, the podcast will be free from now on. It even has its own tab on the site and will get its own feed on itunes etc. Drew talked about it at the end of this week's podcast.

yeeeaaaaAAAHHHHHH!!!

I'll watch like 2 races all season again, but looking forward to the show!

Aw yeah, you've been missed, Alt+F1.

Damn it @dannyodwyer, Rio is a Duran Duran song!

.

Also, can you please explain the lemon party thing at 43:09?

NEEEEYOOOWWW

ok. Rio was a song by Duran Duran, not Spandau Ballet.

Ah love that intro music

Lets goo

So conflicted about F1 this year. In the 8 odd years I've been watching its always been on the BBC. When Sky muscled their way in, I was excited for their potential coverage, but was immediately put off by their presentation of the product. I'm hoping that since Channel 4 have a lot of the same crew as the BBC had it'll keep me interested in watching it there, as I really don't want to watch Skys coverage, but I do want to keep watching the sport, so I'm going to have to choose soon :\

Beep beep.

Good job @drewbert & @dannyodwyer.

Whilst there's still time to enter. I'd like to point out, the 2016 Alt-F1 Fantasy Formula 1 competition is ready.

Check out this forum post for more information: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic-31/alt-f1-fantasy-formula-1-1474293/?page=2#js-message-8246089

I listened to all of this last year, maybe this year I'll watch a race.

@mooseymcman: Likewise!

I'm one of those weirdos who listens to every episode of the podcast but has never watched an F1 race. Looking forward to doing it again this year!

YAY! Alt-F1 is back!

I missed these podcasts. I go back and listen to the 1st and 2nd seasons just for fun, even though i know what happens.

Allllll aaaaroooound the woooooooorld! baby!

Very happy to see this is back!

Pastor will still have a place to crash in my heart.

I hope you talk about the channel 4 coverage next time Danny and how susie wolff will be apart of it

If you live in the US you can also watch all of the races and qualifying on Univision Deportes. The races are commercial free too! And one of the commentators is the one of the Argentinian dudes that does the soccer commentary. So that's fun. But it is in Spanish

Cannot wait for Roborace!

I'm so excited for more Alt+F1! Perhaps even more so than for the actual F1...

Though I'm still pretty excited for a new F1 season.

happiness does not even describe my feelings

Danny Scuderia (we already went over this, it's italian for stable) Toro Rosso is in italian, not spanish, they used to be Minardi before being acquired by Red Bull. Their hq is in Faenza, in Emilia-Romagna, the same region of almost every italian racing and supercars/motorcycles constructors

I guess this podcast is going free, and pastor is gone ;_;, but some things will never change :D

I would be interested in watching the races and stuff for this, but I don't pay for TV and honestly not interested enough in racing to actually pay any online site just to watch the races :(

Yay for more altf1!!!!!

Boo for no Pastor Maldonado :(

@dannyodwyer@drewbert There should be a segment every podcast for best Pastor Maldonado quote!

NEVER FORGET!!!!!
