BUDAPEST, Hungary - Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg claimed pole position on Saturday for the Hungarian Grand Prix while Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton will start at the back of the race grid as an engine fire prevented him setting a qualifying time.
Cheap Custom Jerseys . Rosbergs time of 1 minute, 22.715 seconds at the Hungaroring was 0.486 seconds ahead of Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel while Valtteri Bottas of Williams qualified third. Hamilton, who was fastest in all three practice sessions, will start at the back for the second-straight grand prix as his engine caught fire due to a fuel leak in the early stages of the first session of qualifying. Brake failure caused Hamilton to crash during qualifying at the German Grand Prix last week, but he finished third after starting 20th. A similar performance will be difficult on the twisting Hungaroring — a circuit where Hamilton has won four times, including the past two races — as it offers few clear opportunities for passing. "Theres a lot going through my mind, but I just have to try to turn it into positives tomorrow," Hamilton said. "Its getting to the point when its kind of beyond bad luck. We need to do better." With the whole field separating the two Mercedes drivers in Sundays race, Rosberg is perfectly positioned to build on his 14-point lead over Hamilton in the drivers championship. "I would prefer to be out there battling with Lewis," said Rosberg. "That would give me the maximum adrenalin rush." A brief rain shower complicated the final session of qualifying, with Kevin Magnussen of McLaren sliding off the track and making a heavy collision with a tire wall. "It was massively difficult down there and unpredictable," said Rosberg, who like Magnussen ran off the track at the slippery Turn 1 but avoided the barriers. It has been a challenging season for four-time defending champion Vettel. After winning 13 of 19 races in 2013, including the last nine, Vettels best results this year are two third-place finishes. Nonetheless, the layout of the Hungarian circuit could boost his teams performance. "The nature of the track suits us a bit more — it has less straights," Vettel said. "It seems we are a little bit closer, but Nicos final lap was very good so the gap was again quite big, bigger than we were hoping for." Bottas, who has been surging lately and finished second twice and third once in the last three races, complained of "missing some grip" but was still satisfied with the performance of Williams, which is third in the constructors standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull. "Today was a really good day for us," said Bottas, whose teammate Felipe Massa will start from the sixth spot on the grid. "We have a good chance also here to get some really good points." Daniel Ricciardo qualified fourth for Red Bull ahead of Ferraris Fernando Alonso. Behind Massa in sixth came Jenson Button of McLaren, Toro Rossos Jean-Eric Vergne, Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg, and Magnussen, who did not set a third-session time. Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen qualified a lowly 17th due to a tactical blunder by the team, which tried to preserve tires and not send him out in the closing stages of the first session, believing his existing time could not be bettered, only for Marussias Jules Bianchi to do so. Thunderstorms have been forecast for Sunday, along with a maximum temperature of 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 Fahrenheit), though most of the rain is expected to fall in the late afternoon, after the race.

Cheap CFL Jerseys .Best moustache: How can we not give this to Lanny McDonald? Check out the duster for yourself.In the wake of all the penalties last week, I thought I would break them down and see what happened. I also got help from CFL stats Guru Steve Daniel, who deserves credit for all the work he does weekly. Here is a list of the penalties that happened in Week 3. There were 110 (27.5 per game) last week. In the last 20 years, there have been only two weeks with more penalties! One thing you always look at as a coach are penalties that occur before the ball was snapped, those are usually based on mental errors such as not following the snap count on offence or watching the ball on defence. The before-the-whistle penalties can be eliminated by focusing on your assignment. Offside, procedure, time count and too many men would fall in that category. Last week there were 31 of those penalties or 28 per cent of the total penalties. Some interesting stats - Holding was the highest penalty called last week with 25 calls including 11 times in one game. - Almost 1000 yards was penalizedd last week, which moved the ball up and down the field.
Cheap Stitched Jerseys. - 298 penalties so far this season - 99 penalties per week - Almost 25 penalties per game - Penalties are up in all areas: offence, defence, special teams As a coach, you are always stressing and coaching the correct fundamentals of the game but it is sometimes hard for players to learn how to correct penalties until it happens to them at full speed in a game. Also we have lost a lot of veteran football players this past season. We shouldnt blame the officials for the increase in the penalties because they are calling what they are seeing happening on the field. Usually coaches range with agreeing with 70-90 per cent of the calls when they see them on film. Every week the coaches still see penalties on the game film that were not called that should have been called. Im not sure what the reason is for so many penalties this year, but Im sure the coaches and players are working hard to correct them.
