Cadillac ‘pleased’ with F1 Chinese Grand Prix results

Every step along Cadillac’s Formula 1 journey has been a significant milestone for the team, and Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix was no exception.

In just their second race on the grid, Cadillac saw both Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez take the checkered flag, with Bottas finishing in P13 and Pérez in P15.

Problems for several other teams helped Cadillac on this day as three drivers — Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and Lance Stroll — did not finish the race while four more did not even get to start due to pre-race mechanical problems. But after Cadillac saw Bottas fail to finish the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, both drivers made the full race distance in Shanghai, marking a fresh milestone for F1’s newest team.

“We can be very pleased with that result,” said team principal Graeme Lowdon after the race. “We saw today that the complexity of the new cars has given some experienced teams significant issues, so to get two cars to the finish at the end of our second-ever race weekend is a great achievement for everyone in our team in Indianapolis, Charlotte, Silverstone and Germany.

“More than that, we showed a good step forward in pace and overall performance throughout the weekend and were able to race other teams. It’s been a tough couple of weeks and I am very grateful to everyone in the team for all of their hard work. We can leave this first double-header with our heads held high, confident that we have a really good foundation which we can build on going forward.”

Pérez, who made contact with Bottas shortly after the lights went out, noted that the team should be “proud” given what they have accomplished in such a short time.

“It was a good race today and we can be happy with our performance as a team, getting both cars to the finish in just our second Grand Prix. My race wasn’t straightforward – I had contact with Valtteri at the start, which was on me. I was a bit over-optimistic and didn’t realize he had nowhere to go, which cost me some time,” said the veteran driver. “Then, every time I was closing the gap, I had a couple of issues with energy deployment and ended up losing more than 20 seconds overall. But we should be proud of what we’ve achieved over these two race weekends, and I’m looking forward to building on this at the next race in Japan.”

As for Bottas, he shared the pride noted by his teammate.

“A great result for the team to finish with both cars in P13 and P15 in only our second Grand Prix. It’s not something I expected as other teams had multiple issues across the race. From my side, I had a relatively trouble-free race, which put us in a solid finishing position,” said Bottas. “We were racing and managed to get Aston Martin with some good battles. We’ve clearly made progress in all the areas needed from race one to race two. I’m really proud of this team as we’re heading in the right direction, but we know there’s still work to do.”

Cadillac, along with the rest of the grid, will be back in action in two weeks at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Deadspin | Brewers continue run of West Coast as they visit Giants  Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio (11) hits a ground ball RBI during the sixth inning of their game against the Colorado Rockies Sunday, July 26, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.   The Milwaukee Brewers continue the western portion of their schedule — this time on the road — when they visit San Francisco for the opener of a three-game series Monday night.  Brewers right-hander Brandon Sproat (3-5, 5.09 ERA) and Giants righty Tyler Mahle (2-9, 5.31) are the scheduled starters in the clubs’ second head-to-head of the season, with the teams having split a four-game set in Milwaukee last month.  Neither Sproat nor Mahle pitched in that series.  The Brewers flew west Sunday night after having completed a 7-2 homestand with an 11-2 shellacking of the Colorado Rockies. They travel to Anaheim, Calif., for a weekend series against the Angels after they leave San Francisco.  The three contests against Colorado began a stretch in which the Brewers will play either National League West or American League West opponents in 19 of 26 games.  After the Angels series, the Brewers return home for a week, then visit the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers on another trip west. The stretch concludes with a three-game visit from the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 18-20.  When last seen on the road, the Brewers were getting swept in a three-game series by the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 11 and 12.  Sproat pitched the first of the Pittsburgh games, an outing in which his manager, Pat Murphy, criticized him for allowing 28 foul balls, many on two-strike counts.  “He’s not (committed) in his put-away pitch,” Murphy observed to the media after the 7-6 defeat in the first game of a July 11 doubleheader. “You’ve got to be able to put people away. Not just strike people out — put them away. He’s got that really good sinker. He’s got a good sweeper. He’s got a very capable cutter. Just didn’t get it done.”   The 25-year-old has made just one start since, and experienced similar issues. He needed 99 pitches to record 14 outs, pulled in the fifth inning of a 4-0 home loss to the New York Mets last Tuesday.  He has never pitched against the Giants.  The Brewers, on the other hand, are quite familiar with Mahle. They’ve roughed up the 31-year-old to the tune of a 1-3 record and 5.36 ERA over nine lifetime starts.  Mahle has pitched better than his overall record might indicate in his last two outings, limiting the Rockies and Kansas City Royals to four runs in 12 combined innings. San Francisco split those games.  The Giants enter the series hoping to put a wrap on their third consecutive winning homestand. They took two of three from the Angels despite a 4-3 defeat Sunday.  The series will be San Francisco’s last at home before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, which means every performance by a home-team player could be his last as a Giant.  One guy often mentioned in trade rumors, Rafael Devers, overcame the distraction to homer in each of San Francisco’s home wins over the Angels.  “We’re aware that our record is not very positive as far as adjustments that maybe the front office is going to make,” he noted to reporters over the weekend. “It’s something that I don’t think about. It’s something that they’re going to have to (think about), but we’re just concentrating on what we can control.”  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Brewers #continue #run #West #Coast #visit #GiantsMilwaukee Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio (11) hits a ground ball RBI during the sixth inning of their game against the Colorado Rockies Sunday, July 26, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Welcome to the future. Jackson Koivun runs things around here.

It took just 13 starts on the PGA Tour for the Auburn Tiger to stand in the winner’s circle and he did so at the 3M Open over the weekend. Talk about arriving in style.

Jackson is just a few months removed from his 21st birthday so it stands to reason that there will be a number of times where he beats the field in the years to come. Interestingly it has not been too long since someone so young won a PGA Tour event as Aldrich Potgieter won last year at the Rocket Classic before even turning 21.

While that is the case from a general standpoint, Jackson made serious history relative to American golfers specifically. He is the youngest American to win by multiple strokes since Ralph Guldahl won the 1932 WM Phoenix Open.

Jackson won by 3 strokes to make that true, and for what it’s worth the American he beat in that capacity was Tiger Woods who won by 12 at the Masters of all places when he was about a month older than Jackson is now. No big deal.

Congratulations to Jackson, and welcome to the future.
