"Overall, things went quite well today. The practice session wasn't bad either. In qualifying, though, we unfortunately had a defective rear tyre, which meant I wasn't able to push as hard as I had intended. Even so, we find ourselves first on the grid, so I can hardly complain. I am happy about that. The track is quite interesting, especially the first two sectors, because it's very fast there. The surface is not outstanding, as it's quite bumpy, but at the end of the day, the conditions are the same for everyone. In tomorrow's race, I hope that Walid and I leave the rest behind, just like we did at Oschersleben. We'll then see what happens in the race. It

Doc Rivers Couldn’t Care Less That Celtics Are In Eastern Conference Finals
by Zack Cox on Fri, May 19, 2017 at 11:14AM 1,745 Share this: More than a month after Doc Rivers’ Los Angeles Clippers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs, his old team still is playing. The Boston Celtics, who launched a full-blown rebuild after Rivers left town in 2013, have reached the Eastern Conference finals just four years later under new coach Brad Stevens. Though the Celtics are unlikely to defeat the heavily favored Cleveland Cavaliers, they also own the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and should be contenders for years to come. Meanwhile, Rivers’ new club, which plays in the much tougher Western Conference, has yet to advance past the second round. But despite this, the coach insists he doesn’t regret his decision
Crutchlow: “Front row in the dry in Jerez is good”
Cal Crutchlow, P3: “I’ve been losing in the last sector the whole weekend but I’m very happy to be on the front row, my second of the year, and it was really nice to complete the Honda front row. The team have been working really hard and this weekend we’ve been testing some things for Honda, long nights for the guys in the garage and we haven’t changed much in the setup but we’re happy to do it and it’s a nice job to have – and we’re fast at the same time. We’ve tried most of the tyres and we know the soft rear won’t last the race. The hard will last but I don’t know if it will
Redding starts up 2017 in seventh
SR45, P7: “I’m really happy. I had a good race especially after the difficulties of the warm up. I got off a good start but I had to close the throttle due to Zarco’s dangerous move which cost me a lot. In the second part of the race I was lapping well even though I was not able to take the first Independent award. I would have been happy to make the Top 10 so this is a good result and I want thank the team for the work done and for always believing in me. See you in Argentina!” Source link
Legia feat perks Polish president
It has been a rather mixed return to the UEFA Champions League after 21 years for Legia Warszawa but it had a happy ending that received a presidential seal of approval. Having already conceded a record-equalling 24 goals prior to their final match, Legia delighted the home fans with a 1-0 defeat of Sporting CP on Wednesday which took them above their visitors into Group F third place, earning a UEFA Europa League round of 32 spot. "Polish president Andrzej Duda came to our dressing room after the game, which means we did something special," said forward Aleksandar Prijovic.The Swiss striker has been a key
Floyd Mayweather’s Reason For Not Fighting Again Is Tough To Question
Share this: Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has so many victories and so much money that he’s really not in a position to desire more of either. But that hasn’t prevented speculation of him returning to the ring for a chance to end his career with an unblemished 50-0 record. Fuel was added to that fire when Mayweather was spotted ringside during Manny Pacquiao’s recent bout with Jessie Vargas, a fight Pacquiao won convincingly. But Mayweather diffused those rumors Wednesday in Brooklyn by saying he, unlike some boxers, has no reason to come out of retirement. “A lot of fighters in the sport of boxing may want to retire, but they have to fight because they have to,” Mayweather said to USA TODAY’s Mike Coppinger. “I
Joe Kelly Didn’t Know Red Sox Clinched AL East When He Gave Up Grand Slam
Share this: Joe Kelly walked off the mound Wednesday night in New York thinking the Red Sox had just squandered a chance to lock up the American League East, when in reality, a celebration was about to take place inside the visitors’ clubhouse at Yankee Stadium. Kelly surrendered a walk-off grand slam to Mark Teixeira in the bottom of the ninth inning after Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel gave up a leadoff single followed by three straight walks. The agony of a 5-3 defeat was real, even if most of the blame could be pinned on Kimbrel, but the pain quickly turned to jubilation for Kelly when he realized the Red Sox already had clinched a division title by virtue of the
