SAO PAULO -- Lewis Hamilton has the recent edge on Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, winning the last two Formula One races in Mexico and the United States. Lonzo Ball Jersey .The Englishman had it again Friday in both practices for the Brazilian Grand Prix, each time finding just a sliver of extra pace to nip Rosberg.Hamilton needs a victory on Sunday to push the season-title chase to the last race in two weeks in Abu Dhabi.Its been a good day, Hamilton said. Its pretty tough out here physically right now with the heat as high as it is. We can be happy with the start we made today.For his part, Rosberg can claim his first Formula One title if he wins on Sunday, which would deprive Hamilton of a chance for his fourth drivers title.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 19 points in the season standings through 19 of 21 races. The German also complained about the heat as Brazil moves into its summer months.Strategy-wise it wont be straightforward for the race, Rosberg said. But, again, its meant to get quite a lot colder so we could see something completely different on Sunday.The track was dry on Friday, and should be in qualifying on Saturday. But rain is in the forecast for Sunday, which could cause havoc and upsets.The Interlagos circuit has a history of wet races and shocking finishes.Theres some unpredictable weather forecast over the next few days, so opportunities can hopefully present themselves to put up a bit of a challenge, said Christian Horner, team principal for Red Bull, which has been Mercedes No. 1 rival all season.To be fair, Hamilton might be leading the standings were it not for the Malaysian Grand Prix in October. His engine caught fire near the end of the race, a race he was leading easily. That cost him 25 points, and hes been chasing ever since.Hamilton was 0.230 seconds faster than Rosberg in the first practice session, and just a tiny sliver faster in the second -- 0.030 -- on the hilly track south of Sao Paulos downtown area.This circuit is renowned for throwing jokers into the pack, Paddy Lowe, Mercedes technical director said. So we take nothing for granted heading into the weekend.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: twitter.com/StephenWadeAP His work can be found at bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade Luol Deng Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began. Isaiah Thomas Jersey . The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. www.cheaplakersjerseyschina.com/brook-lopez-jersey/ . JOHNS, N. Lewis Hamilton and the Formula One grids other world champions agree the FIAs clampdown on moving under braking is simply clarification of a rule which has always been unwritten.Max Verstappens driving has been brilliant and controversial in equal measure this season, with the Dutch teenager earning criticism for moving his car in the braking zone when defending position from other cars. After complaints from both Ferrari drivers earlier in the season, Verstappen used the same tactic on Hamilton in Japan, forcing the reigning world champion into evasive action.The issue was raised in Fridays drivers briefing in Austin, where Charlie Whiting clarified that it is now an offence to change direction under braking. Hamilton said it has only become an issue this season because younger drivers do not understand it is a dangerous tactic to employ.For the ten years Ive been in Formula One its been the same rule that all us drivers understand, the reigning world champion said. Its only newcomers that have come in and potentially not abided by that same rule weve all shared for many, many years.Racing with Michael [Schumacher] had the same rule, and then as Ive gone on... It will be interesting to see if new drivers have come in and have a different route and have a different opinion. But it is about the respect we have for one another. Were travelling at serious speeds so you commit to your defence but you dont do it whilst in braking, so I think its great Charlie has understood the majority of drivers opinions.Hamilton thinks clarification was important to prevent F1 drivers adopting a new dangerous approach to wheel-to-wheel racing.The rules have to be very strict and clear because otherwise if they say youre allowed to move under braking, everyone will do it and well all start a new way of driving which is dangerous. You look at IndyCar, for example, one twitch and the car goes flying, so I think its definitely the right way.Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel reiterated Hamiltons viewpoint, saying the FIAs leniency with earlier cases has spread the message that it is a fair tactic to use.I think its very simple, Vettel said. The day I joined Formula One it was clear and an unwritten law and in recent times we have had situations and got away with it, so for sure the message is that everyone is starting to do it.I think thats the wrong thing, because in the end we spoke abbout it yesterday and we were just waiting for something to happen. Lakers Jerseys Outlet. Therefore I think it is a good action to look into these things.McLarens world champion line-up concurred, with Jenson Button denying that the clampdown was proof F1 had become over-regulated.I think this is the correct ruling, the 2009 world champion said. We started a long time ago in this sport and theres always been an understanding its incorrect to move in the braking zone when someone is trying to overtake, because when so youre trying to overtake everything is on the limit. Youre pushing the limit, pushing the boundaries, on the edge of being out of control.And as soon as somebody takes the line in front of you, and takes the line you were aiming for, the space youre aiming for, youre screwed. Youre either going to go over the top of them or miss them and go into the barriers. Its common sense more than anything else. For 15 years of racing I havent really had any issues, just in the last couple of years we have. Now its clear, theyve clarified it, and Im happy about it.Fernando Alonso, who this weekend passed the unenviable 10-year anniversary of his last championship, said the rule has always been the same even if consistency over penalties has not.Not really much to comment, the Spaniard said. It was clear before and its clear now. In football when you take the ball with the hand inside the area, its a penalty. Sometimes the ref gives you the penalty and sometimes they dont. This it was clear before: but sometimes they gave a penalty and sometimes they dont give anything.Kimi Raikkonen, who has been at odds with Verstappen on numerous occasions this season, was happy to see the rule clarified.Obviously you need some rules, sometimes it feels there are some unclear situations and they make a rule for that. It feels like we probably have too many rules but thats how it is. If there were no rules we could do everything, so we need to have some guidelines of what we can do. It sounds a bit stupid sometimes but thats sometimes its beneficial for everybody.Between them, the drivers above account for every F1 world championship since Alonsos first in 2005. Verstappen seemed unmoved by the clarification in Austin, commenting that: Maybe they can get past now Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ' ' '
