MONTREAL -- Nico Rosberg is the one a roll, but its Mercedes AGM teammate Lewis Hamilton who may have the upper hand at the always unpredictable Canadian Grand Prix. The son of 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg has won the pole position at the last three races on the Formula One calendar and is coming off a victory at the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks ago. But the quick and difficult Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve has become Hamiltons track, having won there three times in his career, including last year. "I enjoy this track and Im confident coming here," Rosberg said Thursday. "Qualifying will be exciting and important. "Maybe a little less important (than at Monaco) because you can overtake, and tire degradation is going to be an issue, so theres going to be a lot happening in the race. But, as at all tracks, its always a big challenge to try to be ahead of Lewis in qualifying because hes very quick." And he likes his chances to claim a fourth straight pole. "Our car has been the quickest in qualifying for quite some time now," he said. "We just have a very fast car. "Im confident Ill be quite far up the grid in qualifying here." Hamilton jumped from McLaren Mercedes to Mercedes AGM this year and has yet to win in six races this season, although he has been in the top-5 five times. Sebastian Vettel leads the drivers championship and is on course for a fourth straight F1 title, but the Red Bull cars have been less dominant this year against Kimi Raikkonens Lotus, Fernando Alonsos Ferrari and the Mercedes. And Vettel has yet to win the Canadian Grand Prix, although he was second to Jenson Button in 2011 and fourth in 2010 and 2012. The McLaren team has won the last three times. The 4.361-kilometre track is especially punishing on brakes with its long straightaways leading to tight turns, including a hairpin. It is also tough on tires, an issue that has Mercedes in the midst of controversy. The team has been called to a hearing with the international tribunal of FIA, the sports governing body, to answer questions about a possibly illegal tire test after the Spanish Grand Prix last month. If found in violation of rules barring unauthorized in-season testing the team could be fined or even banned from the constructors championship. The Red Bull and Ferrari teams complained that Mercedes gained an unfair advantage by running 1,000 kilometres over three days on a new, more durable tire that Pirelli will introduce this week. Teams were concerned with tires breaking down during races, so Pirelli came up with a stronger version. It will be available for use only during practice on Friday at the Canadian race but is expected to be in full use for the British Grand Prix on June 30. Rain is forecast for Friday, which would restrict use of the new tires, and for qualifying on Saturday. Skies are expected to clear up for the race on Sunday. Vettel blasted Mercedes in the German media this week, saying "every kilometre (of testing) is an advantage." Also at issue was that Mercedes used their 2013 car. Some tests by Ferrari in their 2011 car this year were allowed. And they used their F1 starters, rather than reserve driver Sam Bird. "That was what the team decided," said Rosberg. "I think also for Pirelli its better if were in the car because Sam doesnt drive much and for sure he wont be able to go on our pace and bring the Pirellis through the laps exactly as we would." The Mercedes team issued a statement this week saying it "welcomes the opportunity to explain the full facts" of the tests to the tribunal. Dale Hawerchuck Coyotes Jersey .

PHOENIX -- Near the end of the 2015 season, Torey Lovullo took over as interim manager of the Boston Red Sox while John Farrell battled cancer.It was an experience, he said, that made him a little more prepared to be a full-time major league manager. But Lovullo promised to stay on as Red Sox bench coach for the 2016 season. He said he wanted to make sure John was OK before taking a managers job.The opportunity came when he was named Arizona Diamondbacks manager on Friday.The Diamondbacks introduced Lovullo, their third manager in four seasons, at a Chase Field news conference Monday. He has a familiar boss. Former Red Sox assistant general manager Mike Hazen was hired as Arizona general manager three weeks ago.For me, it really couldnt have worked out any better, Lovullo said. Coming from the organization that I came from, I learned a lot of special things from some really talented people. Certainly my connection with Mike was something I never wanted to lose.The moment Hazen was hired, Lovullo became the odds-on favorite to get the managers job. But Hazen insisted their relationship was not the overriding factor in the hiring.This was a process, Hazen said, a strong process, where we had a lot of strong candidates with different backgrounds, different levels of coaching experience, managerial experience. But ultimately Torey was the one who came out on top.Hazen and Lovullo replace Dave Stewart and Chip Hale, who were fired after the team went 69-93 last season.Im not going to get blinded by the fact the team won 69 games, Lovullo. `Im more excited about the type of players we have, the culture that were going to try to set here in the clubhouse and dugout.The 51-year-old new manager said the team has a nucleus of great players.I am very optimistic that we have the capabilities of doing something very special, he said. As I told one player on the phone, I want to be able to have us all tell a great story at the end of the 2017 season.Lovullo noted that the 2016 Diamondbacks were at or above league average in just about every offensive category.Hee had much less to say about the pitching.dddddddddddd Arizona ranked last in the majors with a team ERA of 5.09.I havent done anything other than look at the numbers, Lovullo said.He called himself an active listener and planned to talk to more players soon.Im not sure what it was like here in the past, Lovullo said, but what theyre going to talk about and what theyre thinking about is going to matter to me.He brings an American League attitude to the NL West.Once I get a feel for our guys and our personnel, we will determine what type of team were going to be, Lovullo said. But I do like an offensive team, Im not going to lie.With the two hirings, the Diamondbacks are something of a Red Sox West.The Boston Red Sox are a special organization for a lot of reasons, Lovullo said. But all those key things we watched on a day-to-day basis there in Boston, yes we want to bring them here to Arizona, but we want to make them a little bit better.Lovullo played for UCLA, where he was a two-time Pac-10 player of the year. His father is television producer Sam Lovullo, whose shows include Hee Haw, which had a 20-year run. The son went a different direction.I think baseball chose me, he said. ... It really meant something special to me when I started to play and just had this incredible love for the game.Lovullo played parts of eight seasons in the majors.He spent nine seasons as a minor league manager before Farrell hired him as first base coach in Toronto. When Farrell went to Boston in an unusual trade, he took Lovullo with him as bench coach. Lovullo held the job for four seasons, including the World Series championship year of 2013. After Farrell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Lovullo led the Red Sox to a 28-20 record. With the disease in remission, Farrell returned last season with Lovullo by his side.Boston went 93-69 and won the AL East. That record is the exact opposite of the team Lovullo inherits in the desert. ' ' ' |
