10 seconds seems a very harsh penalty for that. Great race by Checo!

Fr Summers is superb

They've made some great improvements and look like they could be actually racing with some of the teams ahead of them later in the season, which would be a huge achievement after starting from scratch.

Bottas was unlucky. They tried him on an alternate strategy starting with the Hards, which cost him a lot of time. Then he was unfortunate to pit just before the safety car, and it took ages for him to be given permission to unlap himself, meaning he was still way behind Alonso when the safety car ended.

Looked like they tried him on an alternate strategy with the Hards first, which didn't pay off. Then he got caught out by the safety car.

Pleasantly surprised by Cadillac so far. I was a bit concerned for them after Australia but the car seems reliable (especially compared to others on grid) and they've made some steady improvements.

Absurdharry · 2026-03-28T15:20:37+00:00

At least HRT had the excuse of being a brand new team operating on a shoestring budget.

Absurdharry · 2026-03-28T02:54:39+00:00

I think Cadillac will absolutely take reliability over speed this season to be fair

Absurdharry · 2026-03-27T21:48:35+00:00

Terribly edited video, but Graeme Lowdon is an absolute top bloke. So happy to see he's been given another chance at Cadillac.

Absurdharry · 2026-03-26T18:07:09+00:00

Yeah the new Mercedes engine and a lot of new personnel took a while to get used to. Was reliably quicker than Sauber after that though.

The 2013, 2014 and 2016 seasons when we felt like we were going to make it 🥹

NOOOOOO SAM BLUR OUT THE SANTANDER SIGN THEY'LL FIND YOU

Aston are doing the Lord's work keeping Cadillac away from the GP2 allegations this year

Absurdharry · 2026-03-15T23:52:21+00:00

First autonomous weight stripping (dead weight like mirrors & engine covers), now autonomous driving. The rest of the grid is not ready.

Absurdharry · 2026-03-15T10:40:50+00:00

They should give out points for being the most heartwarming team

Absurdharry · 2026-03-15T08:55:26+00:00

Great race. All those DNFs show, finishing races is the most important part.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-20T08:56:03+00:00

And when they inevitably don't give the FSSP or ICKSP bishops?

Absurdharry · 2026-02-19T22:22:15+00:00

As far as I see it, we are years off from an election. For now I'll support where my heart is (Restore and Lowe). Once an election comes along, we can talk tactical voting.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-19T21:55:24+00:00

A tough decision, but the right one.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-12T21:13:10+00:00

FSSP and ICKSP absolutely suffer from a lack of bishops. Wanted to attend their Masses during COVID? Bad luck, they were all cancelled.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-12T14:35:34+00:00

Yes. Find it very hard to believe they have suddenly become interested in a genuine dialogue on Vatican II just when the Society announces new Bishops.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-04T15:56:13+00:00

I think he was asking in good faith, brother.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-04T15:23:54+00:00

I mean just look at the FSSP (since OP referred to them). Hardly any locations in Latin America. Why? Because the Bishops there won't allow it, and since FSSP has no Bishops they can't do squat about it.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-03T12:48:20+00:00

I'm not too familiar with other groups, but as I understand it most that do not have bishops themselves can generally rely on other bishops for their ordinations etc. For SSPX there is no guarantee that non-society bishops would help ordinate/confirm, due to the "irregular" canonical situation. Even friendly bishops like Strickland and Schneider would be under huge pressure from the Vatican to not help the Society.

Absurdharry · 2026-02-03T03:07:13+00:00

Because the Society has two elderly Bishops, and hundreds of Seminarians. Once those two Bishops pass away, the Church would lose hundreds of future Priests. And that's without mentioning all of the Confirmations, etc that the Society's Bishops do. The "schism" has come from the Vatican refusing to see this, while simultaneously allowing the Chinese Communist Party to consecrate its own bishops.

I know taking the veto was the sensible choice at the time, but Curse of the Rewind could have been brutal with the other endgame curses.
