It's interesting how one reason the war is a major shitshow is that the principal actors involved have squandered political goodwill in the region one way or another.

KATE Original Short Movie: HENSHIN THE FIRST (2026)

Final grid for the #AustralianGP I think (L-R, top to bottom):

RUS ANT
HAD LEC
PIA NOR
HAM LAW
LIN BOR
HUL BEA
OCO GAS
ALB COL
ALO PER
BOT VER
SAI STR

Albert Park is also a very fast circuit without a lot of opportunities to charge the battery.

Another thing that helps is that there's a cost cap and Cadillac does have the money to stay long-term. The 2010 teams were all operating with flimsier budgets than even Sauber.

thought this was about breaking bad at first, a show that did not fall into any "trap" of lacking negative consequences and ended with a string of misery & suicidal failure

Kimi Antonelli keeps second on the grid as Mercedes gets a fine of €7500 for releasing his car in an unsafe condition in Q3 #F1 #AusGP

Stroll has been permitted to start the #AustralianGP despite not setting a time within 107% during qualifying because Aston Martin was changing the oil line on his car. Along with citing Alonso's lap time, they pointed to Stroll's F1 experience to justify him starting the race to the stewards. #F1

S/o to @linnybobinny.bsky.social for being a fellow Dragon Age/Stardew Valley/My Time at Sandrock enjoyer

That's what I meant by "other direction"; i.e. the PU isn't great.

Is calling him "that Italian twink" a bannable offense?

My Jeopardy-esque reply to that take is "who is Hernan Cortes"

The aero regs were in the right direction but the PU regs went far in the other direction; I think that's the primary issue.

unlike the ending of breaking bad, where it all goes great for walt and really pays off

Indeed. 3.7 second spread is still a very competitive spread for a season with new regs and a new team on the grid, so I'm pretty content.

i don’t think the goal of fiction is to fix as many people as possible

Only 3.7 secs separate P1 from P19, so everyone who set a time will be able to race. VER and SAI are shoo-ins as well since they set eligible times during the FP sessions. Not sure if STR was able to do so.

this was one of the silliest things i’ve ever seen in a professional basketball game

Lol fair.

Super exciting qualifying, even with my lowered expectations for MCL.

2nd straight year with a Champion from the Class of 2019

First Lando, now George.

Now if only Williams got it shit together, we'd have THREE champs from that amazing rookie class. Poor Alex.

Think about it

1. Came outta nowhere to become Red Bull's next Golden child

2. Excelled with the 2nd Red Bull team

3. Brought in to partner a 4x WDC in a transitional phase for the Milton Keynes squad

4. Fan favorite

Would be funny if this turns Max into the next Seb

And it's one of the reasons why my university has (or at the very least had) a blanket ban on fraternities.

Unfortunately they're still fairly common here in my country. Like every so often (even very recently!) there's reports of young guys dying due to hazing rituals.

Russell 26, Russell 27, Antonelli 28...

First polesitter of the turbo-hybrid era:
• Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)

First polesitter of the energy era:
• George Russell (Mercedes)

Feels like a déjà vu for Mercedes 👀

Given how Max's car shat itself and how reliability is a bit of a crapshoot, this is good.

Simulations have us and Mercedes as the best in race pace, so it's a solid start.

And Lando was having battery deployment issues that only got fixed by Q3, which partially explains why he was so far off from Oscar until then
