ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel
posted the fastest time in the second practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand
Prix on Friday.
Larry Warford Lions Jersey . In cooler
evening temperatures, the German clocked a best lap of 1 minute, 41.335 seconds
to finish 0.155 ahead of Red Bull teammate Mark Webber and 0.355 clear of
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen was fourth quickest
after narrowly avoiding a crash. The third practice session is Saturday
afternoon before qualifying in the evening. Vettel, who clinched the title at
the Indian GP last weekend, has taken pole position in four of the past five
races. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was fastest in the first practice but the
Frenchman struggled with a brake problem in the second and finished 12th.
Grosjean has finished third in each of his past three races and earlier Friday
clocked a best lap of 1:44.241 seconds in hot temperatures to finish .192
seconds ahead of Hamilton -- who won the race two years ago and has taken pole
position twice -- and 0.258 clear of Vettel. But in the second run, Grosjean
yelled over the race radio that there was a problem with his front brakes.
Although he came back out later in the session, it was a short stint and he had
to go back to the pits. Abu Dhabi is the only race of the year that starts in
the late afternoon and ends in the evening. Because qualifying and the race
itself are held at twilight, when the track is considerably cooler at sunset,
little useful data could be gained from the first practice. About midway through
the first run, Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg locked his front left tire as he
broke heavily coming into a chicane and almost slid off the track before
regaining control. He had further trouble in the second run, locking his brakes
into turn 17. The Abu Dhabi track has never been much to Ferraris liking. It was
a poor first run for both drivers, with former champion Fernando Alonso in 12th
and Felipe Massa in 17th. They fared a bit better in the second session, with
Alonso in eighth and Massa 10th. Nearing the end, Raikkonen almost crashed into
Valtteri Bottas as the Williams driver broke late coming into a turn and his car
veered left. Then, with a few minutes remaining, Raikkonen slid across the track
after locking his brakes on turn 17.

one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million. Wieters had asked for $8.75 million
and the Orioles had offered $6.
Ameer Abdullah Lions Jersey . On Saturday
night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18
of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2
1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111.

. Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all
three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a
3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but
the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA
unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. At first
glance, you would think that everything went according to plan for the Miami
Heat in 2012-13. They picked up an NBA-best 66 wins in the regular season and a
second straight NBA championship. While the end result was what they wanted, the
Heats road to the title was anything but a cakewalk. In fact, if Ray Allen
doesnt nail a second-chance three with 5.2 seconds left in Game 6 of the NBA
Finals, its the Spurs, not the Heat hoisting the Larry OBrien. Instead of
talking about a title, wed be talking about how the Heats vaunted big three came
up short for the second time in three seasons. And LeBron James, instead of
winning a second straight Finals MVP, is back to hearing about how he choked in
the clutch after missing three straight shots prior to Allens dagger through the
heart of San Antonio. Of course, Allen did hit that three and the Heat did go
oon to beat San Antonio in Game 7, capping one of the most thrilling NBA Finals
ever.
Darius Slay Lions Jersey. The Heat remain one
of the best teams in the NBA and lost only one significant piece from last years
team in Mike Miller. They still have the best player in the world and will be
favoured to win a third straight title. However, the more difficult than
expected playoff run, particularly their trouble handling big, physical teams,
has left questions as to whether or not the Heat have what it takes to
three-peat. Or more specifically have other teams, expecially in the Eastern
Conference caught up to the Heat? Add in the fact that James, Wade and Bosh are
all eligible to opt out of their contracts after this season and the situation
in Miami isnt quite as sunny as you might think. Go to TSN.ca/nba to read more
