Ferrari have asked FIA stewards to review Sebastian Vettels demotion in the Mexican Grand Prix. Two weeks after Vettel was relegated from third to fifth after being adjudged to have moved under braking defending against Daniel Ricciardo, Ferrari say new evidence has come to light and they have requested the Mexican GP stewards reassess the incident.The annoucement was made just hours after FIA race director Charlie Whiting appeared at the drivers press conference ahead of this weekends Brazilian GP in which he sought to explain why Vettel and Max Verstappen had been penalised. Ferrari insist they have chosen to persue the matter in light of its importance as a precedent for the future after the FIA introduced a beefed-up rule at the previous race in Austin to outlaw drivers moving under braking - a regulation dubbed the Verstappen rule following several controversial incidents involving the Dutchman this season.Vettel became the first driver to be punished under the new rule.Scuderia Ferrari has submitted a request to the Stewards of the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix to review their decision to penalize Sebastian Vettel for breach of Article 27.5 of the 2016 F1 Sporting Regulations as a consequence of his driving behavior in Turn 4 of lap 70, read a Ferrari statement. Paul di Resta looks at why Max Verstappen picked up a five-second penalty, which meant that Ferraris Sebastian Vettel was promoted to third place This has been the first application of Article 27.5 of the 2016 F1 Sporting Regulations as interpreted on the basis of the Race Directors notes on defensive maneuvers and effective from the 2016 US Grand Prix.Scuderia Ferrari considers that a number of new elements have come to light after the decision was rendered that make the decision reviewable under Article 14.1 of the International Sporting Code. Scuderia Ferrari is aware that championship rankings will not change, regardless of the outcome. But in light of its importance as a precedent for the future, and in order to provide clarity in the application of the rules in future events, Scuderia Ferrari believes that the decision should be reconsidered by the Stewards.Although Ferrari did not divulge what the new evidence related to, their request comes just hours after FIA race director Charlie Whiting gave a detailed explanation of several controversial judgements in the Mexican GP at the end of Thursdays regular drivers press conference in Brazil. Sitting behind Whiting, Vettel insisted he had not moved to illegally block Ricciardo.I dont agree with the decision made, said the Ferrari driver. I gave enough room on the inside, l kept the car straight for the majority of the braking and in my opinion Daniel locked up so badly because there was no grip on the inside. I think it looked worse than it actually was.Can Nico Rosberg clinch the title at Interlagos?

Vapormax Uomo 2020 .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. Theyll relive the game for generations, these Cubs fans, talking about the magical night in Cleveland when the skies opened up and the curse of the Billy Goat was buried once and for all.Somewhere along the way the stories will be embellished, as if that is even possible. Joe Maddon will be hailed as the greatest manager ever, and Aroldis Chapman will be remembered more for the W attached to his name in the box score than how he actually ended up being the winning pitcher of a Game 7 that was as thrilling as it was flawed.They might even make a movie out of it, though theyll have to write a new script. The way it all went down was too corny, too implausible for even Hollywood to believe.The manager who led the Cubs to the promised land seemed to be trying his best to extend the curse rather than finally putting it to rest. Not once, but twice, Maddon took his best pitchers out of the game just when they seemed to be cruising and almost paid for it dearly.The closer he seemingly couldnt wait to put in every game of this World Series was ripe for the picking, and that was Maddons fault, too. He didnt trust his bullpen and was determined to ride Chapman even when he was clearly a thoroughbred who had been ridden too hard.That it all turned out fine will be all that will be remembered, not that a pitcher who had never saved a game in his career was on the mound with the weight of the city of Chicago on his shoulders as he tried to get the final out.That the Cubs are the World Series champions for the first time in 108 years will be all anyone wants to talk about, not the fact the Cubs were up by three runs and needed only four more outs before Chapman imploded and they seemed cursed yet again.Another team might have folded, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. And they didnt.Give some of the credit to an intervention from above, when the baseball gods finally decided the Cubs had suffered enough and interrupted the game just as it was going into the 10th inning. It wasnt a long rain delay, far from it, but just long enough for the players to gather in the strength room and listen to outfielder Jason Heyward tell them they had come too far to get too down at this point.The best rain delay of all time, Anthony Rizzo said.Give some credit, too, to Kyle Schwarber capping the most improbable postseason ever by leading off the 10th with a base hit. Dont forget Ben Zobrist, either, and the double that would give the Cubs a lead and make him an equally improbable World Series MVP.But it was the manager who encouraged them to dress up in Halloween costumes on the flight to Cleveland who brought them to that point. It was the manager who scoffed at the idea of a curse and got his pplayers to be aggressive early in the deciding games because he didnt want to face the Cleveland bullpen from behind.dddddddddddd.Yes, the same manager who pulled both Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester too early because, well, just because.Had the Indians managed to scratch across the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Maddon would have taken his place in the Cubs Hall of Shame, probably alongside Steve Bartman, the unfortunate Cubs fan who until Thursday morning had been unable to shake the blame for the Cubs losing in the 2003 playoffs.Instead, hes the first Cubs manager in more than a century to hoist the World Series trophy aloft. Thats enough to secure his legacy alone, though hed prefer not to go down in baseball lore as a curse buster.Like superfan Bill Murray, he aint afraid of no goat.It has nothing to do with curses, superstition, Maddon said. If you want to believe in that kind of stuff, its going to hold you back for a long time. I love tradition. I think tradition is worth time mentally and tradition is worth being upheld. But curses and superstitions are not.Tell that to long-suffering Cubs fans, thousands of whom made their way to cheer loudly in Cleveland, and millions more who jumped on the bandwagon late. The Cubs were such a great story that baseball got television ratings not seen since before the steroid era for the World Series, and anyone who watched Game 7 in its entirety has to be a baseball fan for life.It was 108 years in the making, and it was epic. The Cubs and Indians made a divided country feel better about itself, and the sight of thousands in the streets outside both ballparks made a lot of people feel better about the game of baseball.The Cubs are no longer lovable losers, and that will take some getting used to. So will the expectations for future seasons with a team built for success and a manager comfortable with making whatever decisions he thinks are right to get them there.Im really proud of the attitude, the culture that weve created, Maddon said. I think its something that carries for many, many years to come. Just like in the past, not having won a World Series trophy in 108 years, this is a breakthrough year. So now that standard of excellence can be carried through for many years to come.The goat is gone and theyre singing in the streets of Chicago.As if that somehow isnt good enough, the W flags could be flying at Wrigley Field for quite some time.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.
