Formula 1
The Italian GP was this weekend,

Race result
1. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) 25

18. Sergio Perez (Cadillac)
19. Valtteri Bottas (Cadillac)

DNF: Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)
DNF: Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)
DNF: Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

Gasley qualified on pole, but was never a realistic prospect for the win. Antonelli took a penalty for an engine change so started way back in19th, which makes this win very impressive, Russell led for much of the race but did not change tyres when there was a late VSC. He will be disappointed with 2nd.

Formula 1

The Spanish GP is being held at an all-new circuit near Madrid. It is a very challenging track to drive, with hard barriers set close-in. 0vertaking will be difficult. The track is also high-degradation, with the effect that it is a close call between 1 or 2 stop strategies and the one-stoppers in particular are likely to be nursing their tyres in the opening stages,

Qualifying

Norris put in an excepcional lap late on to claim pole position. Russell's run of being slightly off form continues. Lawson did well to claim 8th just 0.35s behind Verstappen in 3rd.

1 Lando Norris (McLaren)
2 Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
3 Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

DNF Sergio Perez (Cadillac)
DNF Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)
Norris led from the start, but had bad luck when a VSC was called on lap 15 just after he had passed the pit lane entrance. Antonelli and Verstappen took advantage, but Norris had to complete his lap before he could come in, and the VSC expired. The team then also produced a poor stop and he came out in 5th. He recovered well to take 3rd but it was a race he could otherwise have won.

Colapinto did well and helped Alpine close the gap to Racing Bulls in the battle for 5th.

While it is mathematically possible for others yo win. Antonelli and Mercedes effectively have the championships sewn up.

Since you like it I will leave it a bit longer

Good day Canada! I would like to inform you that I have been elected as the new Delegate of 10000 Islands. You can find out some information about me and the elections in this Dispatch:


A Shelter from the Storm!
Greetings, Islanders and the rest of the World!


As of 17/09/2026 at 05:50 UTC, I, Juiulia have become the official Delegate-Elect of 10000 Islands. It is admittedly something I never foresaw in my time here at XKI. When I first joined, my impression of a Delegate was similar to the one felt when thinking of the serving President or head of state whilst being an average citizen. Now, I not only get to bear that title as soon as the transition is over, but I also get to carry the responsibilities it comes adorned with.

Whether you cast your vote in my favor or not, I want to thank you for your initiative to take part in the political aspect of XKI. I'll try and do my best to deliver as much as it is expected of me.

I joined XKI back in 2019, and have been blinking in and out of activity since then. I joined TITO in 2021 because I believed that every region had the right to self-determination, safe from the hands of those ill-intentioned who wish to conquer and take them as trophies. In 2023, Chief Executive Markanite called upon my name to be included in the Hall of Heroes as the 135th Knight of TITO. In late 2025, I was elected for my first term as Senator for Blue Canaria North, and was re-elected once in 2026. As part of the Special Elections held this very month, I had cast my candidacy to eventually win uncontested. I choose to believe that I won because of the genuine will of having me in office rather than because there was no-one else to vote for.

Please make sure to endorse both Pantso and Juiulia during this transition period!

Why I'm here


I have stated in my campaign post Linkright here that it is my intention to focus mainly on two issues that have gradually undermined our region: Inactivity and the Population Decline. Although I may have other goals in mind, these two are the principal issues that I believe we should all work together, as a region, to solve. It is not my intention to discredit the efforts of our very hard-working officials, be it serving in office or not; these problems are infinitely more structural than they are anyone's failure.
I will address these affairs soon enough, and with the help of anyone who expresses their initiative. For now, anyone is welcome to suggest courses of action that we could begin to discuss.


Due gratitude


Please join me in thanking Pantso for his tenure as Delegate from July 2025, and as Senator for 2 years before that. His term has shown a great deal of excellence, and set the bar perhaps too high for me. Also, another round of thanks is due to all XKI officials for keeping the region alive and kicking. Without their efforts, we would have been long gone.



Thank you Delegate Pantso!


Thank you Chief Executive The United Royal Islands of Euramathania!


... and a thank you to every Islander, whether in office or not!

A message to the rest of the world


Whether you are an Islander reading this or the citizen of a foreign region, I wish to extend my willingness to take part in peaceful cooperation. However, there are some principles that I believe should not be ignored. Whatever political alignment I might consider myself a part of, it is crucial that the will of our Islanders is respected. 10000 Islands has historically refrained from taking sides (when it doesn't come to Gameplay, of course), often being considered a neutral region in terms of ideologies. This is mainly because most of those serving in the government of XKI believed that every opinion matters regardless what they personally believe in. While I would gladly take a certain position, it may not be what most Islanders feel inclined towards. It would not be the course established by our history. This applies the other way around, too. It is true that you cannot satisfy everyone at once, and that is why I place all my bets on proportional representation. On the outside, XKI seems neutral; but on the inside, there are many citizens with diverse opinions, all of whom deserve theirs to be respected.

If you're interested in reaching out to discuss matters pertaining to the World Assembly, please contact me via NS Telegram or LinkDiscord.
If you seek to establish an embassy between our regions, you are welcome to do so by following the steps, if you meet the requirements, found Linkhere.

I will also designate a Foreign Affairs Secretary to aid me in all relevant matters. This designation will be announced in a dispatch as well.



Thank you for your attention! - Juiulia
