It certainly is our approach that its definitely worth fighting

Sebastian Vettel admits Ferrari is on the back foot following a difficult Friday ahead of the United States Grand Prix.The German lost a small aerodynamic part from underneath the front wing of his Ferrari during the opening practice session and spent a spell in the garage as a result, missing valuable track time. Vettel had a better afternoon session, posting the fourth fastest time, albeit 0.8s off the pace of Nico Rosbergs front-running Mercedes.Well it was a tough day to be fair, Vettel said. I think this morning we had some problem with a little wing that failed and came off and we lost some track time. It was a bit costly for the afternoon because we couldnt really re-balance the car so I think we are a bit on the back-foot today.Not entirely happy with the car balance yet, its a little bit too nervous all around but I think tomorrow we can improve, usually Friday you dont see the full picture. Hopefully tomorrow well be a lot stronger.Vettel ended FP2 0.7s down on Daniel Ricciardos Red Bull but was marginally ahead of Max Verstappen.When asked whether he thinks Ferrari can beat Red Bull in Austin this weekend, he replied: Well I think we have a chance. Today they were very quick, theres no doubt, but then again its Friday so I wouldnt worry too much. We never know what the others are doing, I think we know what we were doing.As I said we didnt have the best day, but for sure it will be very close and difficult to match them tomorrow with the speed they showed today but I think the Ferrari you saw today is not the Ferrari you will see tomorrow.Despite a tricky day, the four-time world champion -- who won at the Circuit of the Americas in 2013 for Red Bull -- remains confident about Ferraris chances heading into qualifying on Saturday.I think we didnt have the rhythm today for a couple of reasons, some of them I mentioned, some of them I dont want to mention. Tomorrow I think we should be better and if I trust 100 percent the car with some things that I think will be better tomorrow then I think qualifying can be very good and able to hopefully squeeze a bit extra. Surely it will be very close but we will fight.Vettel had to visit the stewards after FP2 for joining the pitlane by not staying to the left of the bollard on entry. The stewards handed him his first reprimand of the season for the incident.Race director Charlie Whiting had instructed drivers to stay to the left of the bollard when entering the pits.

Cheap Soccer Jerseys .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. SAN DIEGO -- Hoisting the trophy and spraying champagne will be nice, for sure, for the crew that wins the Americas Cup World Series.Even sweeter will be the two bonus points that can help jumpstart that team when the fleet reconvenes in Bermuda next summer for the elimination rounds.The ninth and final stop of the ACWS will be sailed this weekend in Fukuoka, Japan. The winner of the overall series will earn two bonus points to carry into the qualifiers in June, while the second-place team will earn one bonus point.Thats a significant bonus to take forward, said British sailing star Sir Ben Ainslie, whose Land Rover BAR team holds the overall series lead with 437 points, 14 better than two-time defending Americas Cup champion Oracle Team USA.Emirates Team New Zealand, the hard-luck loser to Oracle in the 2013 Americas Cup, is three points back in third, with 420.SoftBank Team Japan is fourth with 399, followed by Artemis Racing of Sweden with 391 and Groupama Team France with 360.Ainslie, who was knighted a few months after winning his fourth straight Olympic gold medal at the 2012 London Games, said Land Rover BAR has been motivated by the bonus points and because its a new team fighting for the oldest trophy in international sports.Its been a huge amount of work, Ainslie said. Ive never worked this hard in my life. Its been massively rewarding for all of us for what weve achieved in a short amount of time. But were just starting. Our goal is to build a sustainable business in the UK with the core goal of winning the Americas Cup. We know it will be a huge battle next summer in Bermuda. If were not able to win the Cup next time, were going to keep going. We set this up to keep going until we get the job done.Ainslie would love to become the first Englishman to hoist the Americas Cup in victory. After losing the trophy to the schooner America in 1851, the Brits have never been able to win it back.Its huge, Ainslie said. For us, we have a very proud sporting heritage. Thats the one sporting trophy weve never won.The two bonus points will essentially represent two wins in the double round-robin qualifiers. In a break wiith tradition, the defender, Oracle, will sail against the challengers in that series.ddddddddddddIf a challenger wins the qualifiers and ultimately advances to the Americas Cup match, it will begin with a one-point advantage. Likewise, if Oracle, owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison, wins the qualifiers, it will begin the first-to-seven match with a one-point lead.After the qualifiers, the top four challengers will advance to the playoffs consisting of semifinals and finals to determine which team faces Oracle in the Americas Cup match.Ainslie said that one-point bonus for the Americas Cup match would be a nice helping hand.It certainly is our approach that its definitely worth fighting for, he said.Land Rover BAR has won three of the eight ACWS stops, with one second and two thirds.Oracle has yet to win a stop on the series, although it has four second-place finishes and two thirds.However, Oracle was last in the previous ACWS stop in Toulon, France.Skipper Jimmy Spithill missed that regatta after having elbow surgery. Hes back for this regatta.Obviously this would be a pretty nice one to crack that, Spithill said. But the biggest thing in this series was consistency. Trust me, every single event we come to as a team, the goal is the same, to try to come away with a win. This one is no different. We want to come away with points. Were in not too bad of a position.Ainslie sailed with Oracle in the 2013 Americas Cup, helping the American-backed team rally to beat Team New Zealand in one of the biggest comebacks in sports history.I would say if they went through without winning an event that would be a disappointment in terms of their psyche, although it doesnt really hurt them, Ainslie said. Knowing that team, they expect to be performing better. Theyve been one of the more consistent teams but they havent been able to nail it on the date. Hopefully, from our point of view, this Japan event wont be when they start.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson ' ' '
