MONTREAL -- There are good reasons Sebastian Vettel would really want to win the Canadian Grand Prix. It would be sweet redemption for a year ago, when he was passed by Jenson Buttons McLaren Mercedes on the final lap of a wild, rain-delayed event to let victory slip away at a race he has yet to win. And it would quiet those who felt his Red Bull team had an unfair advantage in recent races by having a hole in the floor of their cars to improve aerodynamic performance. A directive from the sports governing body FIA has banned the hole starting with the Montreal race. "It was good fun today, even without the hole," a playful Vettel said Saturday after winning pole position in qualifying at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. "There is no real extra motivation. "Its not just a hole that makes the difference, (although) reading the papers you get that impression. We never really feared it would have a big impact on the performance of the car. Generally the car works, as a whole. Not the hole in the floor, but the combination of all the parts together." Two-time defending Formula One champion Vettel was clearly the strongest in qualifying, posting a quickest lap that was three 10ths of a second faster than second-place Lewis Hamiltons McLaren Mercedes. Vettel will start next to Hamilton, the 2007 and 2010 Canadian Grand Prix champion, for the race on Sunday. Fernando Alonso, the 2006 winner, will be in the second row beside the Red Bull of Mark Webber, who is coming off a win two weeks ago in Monaco. Nico Rosbergs Petronas Mercedes and Felipe Massas Ferrari are in the third row. Race organizers were concerned about empty seats with some regulars scared off by four months of student protests in the city and threats by some to try to disrupt the race. But the grandstands looked to be full on a warm sunny day. Vettel has 22 F1 victories since his debut in 2007, but he has never won in Canada. He was achingly close a year ago, when a tiny mistake on the last lap left him in second place. That incident-filled race featured a two-hour rain delay caused by a thunderstorm. "At that moment, it hurt a bit because the victory was so close," the 24-year-old said. "But it was a tough race, easy to make mistakes. "Its 2012 now and we had a quite decent 2011. But it would be nice (to win). Its a nice track and a nice atmosphere. Theres always a lot of people here, so it would be a great race to win, for sure." Formula One has been unusually competitive this season, with six different winners in the first six races. Vettel has only one win, in Bahrain in April, while Hamilton has finished third three times but has yet to claim a victory. The Englishman was fastest in two practice sessions in cool weather Friday, but said the McLaren Mercedes struggled for grip in warmer conditions in qualifying. He didnt sound optimistic about becoming the seventh different winner of 2012. "Fortunately, I got myself into a really decent position," he said. "Now that its hotter it changes things and its going to be tough. "Well just have to try to do the best we can and maximize everything we do. We can still have a pretty good race and get some good points from where we are." Alonso got his only win this season at Malaysia in March, but the Spaniard leads driver standings with 76 points, three more than the two Red Bulls and 13 ahead of fourth-place Hamilton. He is upbeat because his team tried out some new parts that worked and the Ferrari looks to be gaining steam as the season progresses. Massa had his best result of the year with a sixth place in Monaco and had his best qualifying with sixth spot in Montreal. "The car was difficult to drive at the beginning (of the year)," said Alonso. "Since Barcelona (in May), we did a good job. "I expect this is the normality and well be like this from now until the rest of the championship." But Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has proven an unpredictable place over the years, with its slippery surface and long straightaways into tight corners that cause braking errors, wreck engines and break hearts, as Vettel discovered a year ago. "Itll be interesting," he said. "Making tires last around here can be quite tricky. "This is a crazy place. It has delivered some crazy races in the past. The safety car is likely, so you have to be aware of all that and take it into account for your strategy. You just try to do the best you can." It is Vettels second pole position of the season and 32nd of his career. Completing the top 10 were Romain Grosjean of Lotus, Paul Di Resta of Force India, Michael Schumacher of Petronas Mercedes and defending race champion Button, who has a miserable weekend with gearbox trouble Friday and tire problems in qualifying. Pastor Maldonado, the Spanish Grand Prix winner, spun out on the last turn and didnt qualify for the final stage. He was 17th. wholesale jerseys authentic .

The Bengals took TCUs Andy Dalton with the third choice in the second round, and the Niners immediately followed by sending three picks to the Denver Broncos in order to select Colin Kaepernick out of Nevada. The Buccaneers took a chance on Bowers, who was considered by some to be the top overall talent in the draft but underwent surgery in January to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. The biggest name to surface in the third round was Ryan Mallett, who quarterbacked Arkansas to the programs first BCS bowl game last year and was the fourth player in SEC history to throw for 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in consecutive seasons. Despite his hefty resume, Mallett fell to the New England Patriots at No. 74 overall and will apparently be the understudy behind future Hall of Fame signal-caller Tom Brady. The selections were made just as the Eighth Circuit Court granted the leagues request for a temporary stay of a lower courts ruling that lifted the lockout earlier this week. The newest ruling in the battle for a new collective bargaining agreement comes just one day after players were permitted to use team facilities and meet with coaches. Nevertheless, the draft resumed as planned with the second and third rounds, though teams could only trade picks, not players. Amidst the turmoil, the second day of the NFLs 76th annual showcase had a different feel, as commissioner Roger Goodell handed off the announcing duties to former NFL greats. The New England Patriots started the second round by taking Virginia cornerback Ras-I Dowling. New England acquired the 33rd overall selection during last years draft, as the Carolina Panthers traded their 2011 second-round pick for the Patriots 2010 third-rounder (89th overall). The crafty swap allowed the Patriots to land Dowling, who was limited due to injuries in his senior season but has the size (6-foot-2) to help a New England secondary that finished 30th in passing yards allowed last season. Another cornerback was immediately taken after Dowling, as the Buffalo Bills snatched Aaron Williams out of Texas. Williams opted to forgo his senior season after leading the Longhorns with 13 passes broken up. Next on the clock were the Bengals, and with franchise quarterback Carson Palmer reportedly seeking a trade, Cincinnati reached for Dalton, who posted a 26-7 touchdown-to-interception rate during TCUs undefeated season last year. San Francisco, also in need of a new look under center, traded the 45th, 108th and 141st overall selections to Denver to secure Kaepernick, a dual threat who became the first player in NCAA history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. With the 37th overall pick, the Cleveland Browns took their second defensive lineman in the draft in Pittsburghs Jabaal Sheard. Already with Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor in the fold, the Browns nabbed the 6-foot-3, 264- pound Sheard, the 2010 Big East Defensive Player of the Year. Only one running back was selected in Thursdays first round -- 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. The next was taken at No. 38, as the Arizona Cardinals picked up Virginia Techs Ryan Williams. Williams rushed for a staggering 1,655 yards and scored 22 touchdowns in his first year with the Hokies, but suffered a hamstring injury in a disappointing 2010 campaign. A pair of linebackers were off the board next, as the Tennessee Titans locked up UCLAs Akeem Ayers and the Dallas Cowboys went after Bruce Carter out of North Carolina. The Washington Redskins grabbed a Clemson defensive lineman, but it was Jarvis Jenkins and not Bowers, the Nagurski Award winner as the top defensive player in college football last season. The Houston Texans provided more depth along their defensive line with the selection of Arizonas Brooks Reed, while the Minnesota Vikings took Notre Dames Kyle Rudolph, a gifted receiver out of the tight end position. The Detroit Lions, undaunted by their history in unsuccessful wide receiver projects, took a chance at No. 44 with Titus Young, a 5-foot-11 speedster from Boise State. The Denveer Broncos, thanks to their trade with the 49ers and a deal with the Dolphins last year, had the next two picks and added safety Rahim Moore out of UCLA and offensive lineman Orlando Franklin from Miami-Florida.dddddddddddd The St. Louis Rams followed by taking Wisconsin tight end Lance Kendricks, and the Oakland Raiders welcomed Stefen Wisniewski. The Penn State center was the Raiders initial selection in the draft, as they traded away their first- rounder to New England in a 2009 transaction. Villanova offensive lineman Ben Ijalana has the task of blocking for All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning next year, as the Colts traded the 53rd and 152nd overall picks to Washington to make him the 49th player off the board. The San Diego Chargers opted for Clemson defensive back Marcus Gilchrist before the Bucs finally selected Bowers, who led the nation with 15 1/2 sacks last season. "I didnt expect the wait to be this long at all. I was expecting to go off the board in the first round, but Im just glad that Tampa Bay liked me enough to pick me where they picked me," Bowers said. "Im definitely motivated. Im ready to get in Tampa and show everybody what Im capable of doing. Im going to show them they picked a great athlete and a great guy." Another risky choice, Marvin Austin, immediately followed. Austin missed the entire 2010 season due to NCAA suspension for improper contact with an agent, but the 6-foot-2, 309-pound defensive lineman had plenty of success in his short time at North Carolina and the New York Giants were convinced enough to make him the 52nd pick. Washington continued to stock-pile draft choices, garnering the No. 62 and No. 127 picks from the Chicago Bears, who selected Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Stephen Paea. The Oregon State defensive tackle slipped in the draft as a result of injury concerns. "Right now I am 100-percent. Im ready to roll," Paea said after learning where hes headed. "I think the Chicago Bears were the right team ... I feel very blessed and surprised." Jaiquawn Jarrett wont have to move far for his first professional job out of Temple, as the defensive back was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 54th pick. The Kansas City Chiefs landed Florida State offensive lineman Rodney Hudson, and running backs Shane Vereen of California and Mikel Leshoure of Illinois were taken by New England and Detroit, respectively. The Lions traded a third and fourth rounder to Seattle while also swapping fifth and seventh-round positions in order to take Leshoure. Three of the final seven players taken in the second round were wide receivers. Torrey Smith of Maryland went to the Baltimore Ravens at No. 58, Greg Little of North Carolina landed in Cleveland at No. 59 and the Packers ended the round by taking Kentuckys Randall Cobb. In between the run on receivers, the Texans traded up with the Patriots to draft Miami-Florida defensive back Brandon Harris; the San Diego Chargers selected Michigan linebacker Jonas Mouton; the Miami Dolphins sent more picks to Washington for running back Daniel Thomas of Kansas State; and the Pittsburgh Steelers nabbed Florida offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert. The Panthers made the first pick of the third round, taking 6-foot-2, 297- pound defensive lineman Terrell McClain out of South Florida with the 65th overall pick. Notable offensive players taken in the third round included Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray, who amassed 1,808 yards from scrimmage for the Sooners last season and was picked by the Cowboys at No. 71; LSU running back Stevan Ridley, who ran for 1,147 yards and 15 scores in 2010 and went to the Patriots at No. 73; Austin Pettis, another Boise State wide out, landing in St. Louis with the 78th selection; and Leonard Hankerson, a 6-foot-3 wide receiver who caught 13 touchdowns for Miami-Florida last year, going to the Redskins 79th overall. On the defensive side, the Chiefs got good value with their third-round choice (70th) by grabbing Georgia linebacker Justin Houston, who posted 18 1/2 tackles for loss and 10 sacks in 2010; USC defensive lineman Jurrell Casey went to Tennessee at No. 77; while the Panthers took Stanford defensive lineman Sione Fua with the final pick of the round. The rest of the draft will take place on Saturday, starting at noon (et). cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
