Red flags for low back pain

Lewis Hamilton says it wouldn’t be practical to hold Nico Rosberg up in order to encourage others to overtake his championship rival at Yas Marina. Hamilton needs to win Sunday’s race with Rosberg no higher than fourth if he is to become champion. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said the smart thing for Hamilton to do would be to get in front of his team mate and hold him up. “I was only just made aware of what Christian had said,” said Hamilton when asked about it during today’s press conference. “This has generally been a relatively strong circuit for me but I have not delivered in the last years so my sole goal is to do so, make sure that I’m at my best this weekend as I have been the last couple of races.” Hamilton said he will consider his tactical options on Sunday, but holding Rosberg up has “not ever really been my thought process”. “I always really just try to, if I’m out ahead I want to be as far ahead as possible. Generally when you have a 18, 30 second … [Read more...] about Backing Rosberg up ‘not practical’, says Hamilton · RaceFans

Reality TV star Todd Chrisley wanted to be clear: When his former business partner Mark Braddock testified in court last year that he and Chrisley once had an intimate relationship, Chrisley wasn't taken aback because Braddock is a man. He has never cared about the (rampant, nonstop) rumors that he's gay; he has said he finds the speculation flattering. No - he was offended because he thinks Braddock is ugly. "I mean, a toad.

The 2012 driver rankings continue with part two, which take us up to the top five. 14. Felipe Massa Beat team mate in qualifying 2/20 Beat team mate in race 0/17 Races finished 19/20 Laps spent ahead of team mate 70/1081 Halfway through the season Massa appeared at number 22 in these rankings, so 14th represents a significant gain following his disastrous first half of the season. Massa never mastered the F2012 when it was at its worst the way Alonso did. In Malaysia he dropped back from his team mate at a rate of over two seconds per lap and was almost lapped by him at the end. In Spain, as in Malaysia, the next car behind him at the finish was a Caterham. As the Ferrari improved Massa made faltering progress. There were still wasted races in Canada (spin), Germany (went off during qualifying) and Singapore (collided with the other Caterham). While Alonso only failed to reach Q3 twice, Massa missed out in half of the races. But there were also … [Read more...] about 2012 F1 Driver Rankings part two: 14-6 · RaceFans
