SAO PAULO, Brazil -- McLaren ended a disappointing year with a strong result at the Brazilian Grand Prix, giving the British team an important boost ahead of the 2014 Formula One season. Maliek Collins Jersey . Team principal Martin Whitmarsh said 2014 has already started for McLaren, and it was important to finish "a long, hard and disappointing" season with the teams "best grand prix of the year." Jenson Button finished fourth at Interlagos for McLarens best result of 2013, and teammate Sergio Perez had a remarkable sixth-place finish after starting 19th. They hadnt finished higher than fifth heading into Sao Paulo. "This is a great way to end the year, and now our focus turns squarely to 2014," said Button, who started 14th at the Brazilian GP. "McLaren is an incredibly strong and powerful organization and, believe me, we will fight back." The finish in Brazil also meant McLaren became the first team in F1 history to have both cars classified in every race of the season. In addition, Button became the first British driver to race in 247 grands prix, surpassing the record of David Coulthard. "Undoubtedly, that was our best grand prix of the year," Whitmarsh said. "Its frustrating to have to say that after a race in which our drivers finished only fourth and sixth, but its also true." It was the first time in decades that McLaren drivers failed to reach the podium in a season. Button ended ninth in the drivers standings and Perez was only 11th. "2013 has been a long, hard and disappointing year," Whitmarsh said, adding that the team is already working on incorporating the new rule changes for next season. "Formula One is a relentlessly demanding sport, and next seasons new regulations are already presenting all the teams with a daunting array of technical challenges," he said. "For quite some time weve been working extremely hard on those technical challenges, and our focus will be unstinting and unwavering from now onwards, throughout the winter. "In other words, the 2014 season starts this evening," Whitmarsh said after Sundays race. Teams will have to switch from 2.4-litre V8 engines to a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged unit near year, a move that will demand significant changes in the design of cars. McLaren will also have a new driver next year as Perez will be replaced by rookie Kevin Magnussen of Denmark. "Ive learned so much from everyone at McLaren," said Perez, who is still without a ride for next year. "The best team Ive ever raced with, and I wish every single one of them all the best for the future. I wish Jenson and Kevin all the best for the future." Next season McLaren wont have sponsor Vodafone, which was a partner for seven years.

Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents.PARIS - Milos Raonic kept his long-shot hopes of a place in next weeks World Tour Finals alive, beating Robin Haase 6-3, 6-4 Wednesday in a second-round match at the Paris Masters. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., has a long way to go if he is to somehow reach the year-end event starting in Monday London, which is limited to the best eight on the ATP Tour. Raonic stands a provisional 11th in the points race and must reach the final at the Bercy arena on Sunday if he is to have a chance to book a ticket to London. He would be the first Canadian to reach the finals in singles play, though Torontos Daniel Nestor has made multiple appearances in the doubles event of the season wrapup tournaments. Raonic finished with 14 aces against Haase and never faced a break point in just under an hour on court. "I felt like I played well," Raonic said. "I executed well and gave myself opportunities on the return side. I was solid with my service games. "But its a long way to go for London, there is a lot more tennis to play. The most important thing is to come tomorrow and give my best effort.&quuot; Canadian doubles veteran Nestor ended his season with a loss alongside Leander Paes, as the seventh seeds went out in the first round to Mexicos Santiago Gonzalez and American Scott Lipsky 6-4, 6-3 in 50 minutes. Deion Sanders Cowboys Jersey. Raonic, playing his first match since losing a Stockholm quarter-final this month, swept through the opening set in 27 minutes. The second set began with a break for Raonic, facing the Dutchman for the first time after Haase split two matches in as many weeks against Canadas Vasek Pospisil. That proved to be enough to ensure victory as Raonic advanced on the first of three match points. Raonic won his 45th match of the season and next face sixth seed Tomas Berdych, who is already in the year-end field. Raonic has won both of his matches against the Czech, most recently last September to take the Bangkok title. "I have to play well in that match," Raonic said. "Ive played well both times Ive faced him, Thats a big necessity for me. I have to play well and create opportunities. I cant change much, just play my way and dictate all I can."
