F1 Chinese GP Showed On-Track Passes Definitely Possible With New Cars
Share this: After the Formula One season opener in Melbourne, Australia on March 26, many suspected 2017 would be full of one-stop races with few on-track passes. But during the Chinese Grand Prix, those fears were dispelled. Although Lewis Hamilton maintained a gap to the cars behind on his way to winning Sunday’s race at Shanghai International Circuit, the 56-lap event was far from boring. It had everything fans could want in a Grand Prix, including changing weather conditions, a safety car, a virtual safety car and plenty of overtakes, the majority of which were completed without the assistance of DRS. Unsurprisingly, many of these moves were made by Max Verstappen, as the 19-year-old started from P19. With a damp track at the start of the race, Verstappen worked

Share this: With one race under their belts, Formula One teams hope to have a better understanding of how to get the most out of their cars when they take to the track for Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix. Scuderia Ferrari emerged from the season opener in Melbourne, Australia, victorious, with Sebastian Vettel beating Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas to the top step of the podium. While both teams showed similar pace throughout the weekend, it was Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen who recorded the fastest lap of the race, despite finishing off the podium. Mercedes will look to bounce back with a win at Shanghai International Circuit, though it will have its work cut out for it, as Ferrari seemingly isn’t going to make large strategic mistakes

Red Sox Vs. Tigers Lineup: Mookie Betts, Hanley Ramirez Remain Out With Flu
Share this: The flu that’s going around the Boston Red Sox’s clubhouse is not kidding around. The Red Sox had to trot out a lineup against the Detroit Tigers on Friday that wasn’t their strongest after designated hitter Hanley Ramirez and right fielder Mookie Betts came down with the virus. Well, they’re still out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest, and shortstop Xander Bogaerts still is on bereavement leave, too. Friday’s lineup ended up coming through in the 6-5 loss, though, so Red Sox manager John Farrell didn’t change much for Saturday. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval swapped spots with right fielder Chris Young — they’re batting fifth and seventh, respectively — after mashing a three-run homer in the series opener. Sandy Leon is taking a seat, though,
