SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Starting from the back row at the Belgian Grand Prix will do little for Lewis Hamiltons chances of a 50th career race win. Anthony Munoz Jersey .But it will bring back exciting memories of his childhood days racing against the odds in karts.I had a really bad go-kart when I started and always had to start last because it was so bad, and then I drove through the field, the 31-year-old British driver said. I hope I still know how to do it.Hamilton took a 15-place grid penalty in Fridays morning practice session for having changed too many engine parts this season, and was then handed a further 15-place penalty following another component change in the afternoon.That means he will start Sundays race from the back row along with McLarens Fernando Alonso, who incurred a 35-place grid penalty for a similar array of component changes. Saturday will decide which of the drivers -- who share five world titles -- starts from last.Hamilton, chasing a third straight F1 title and fourth overall, won at Spa last year. A repeat win is a long shot -- even for Hamilton -- but since Spa is the longest track in F1 at 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) and is very fast, it should help him pick up valuable points.Hamilton has a 19-point lead over Rosberg, his Mercedes rival, in the title race. Rosberg is seeking his fifth win of the season, and first at Spa.That Nico has never won here doesnt make any difference to me, Hamilton said. I just focus on my job. I love this track, particularly if there is good weather. I will start from behind, but I have done my homework.Meanwhile, Max Verstappen posted the fastest time in the second practice ahead of his teammate Daniel Ricciardo, boosting Red Bulls hopes of a second win this season following Verstappens brilliant victory in Spain.Hamilton and Rosberg were slower during the afternoon session because they ran on harder medium tires, getting an indication of durability in the event its the main tire on Sunday if the scorching weather continues.Nestled in the Ardennes forest, Spa is ordinarily known for its cool climate.But temperatures hit 35 degrees Celsius (95 F) in the afternoon, having reached 25 C (77 F) for the first practice at 10 a.m.Everybody was struggling to make the tires last and sliding quite a lot, said Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, the fourth quickest in second practice.The afternoon sun seemed to get to the 18-year-old Verstappen, who was unhappy with Finnish veteran Kimi Raikkonen -- twice his age.What is he doing? Its dangerous, Verstappen said over race radio. Im riding over 300 kph (186 mph) and hes blocking me.He was far happier afterward.Compared to other competitors, we showed great pace today, Verstappen said. I had some struggles but at the end it paid off.In the morning, Rosberg was fastest ahead of Hamilton.Although practice lacked excitement, it was important for testing as drivers got two extra sets of Pirelli tires. Some also wore a protective halo device designed to reduce the risk of head injuries, following the deaths of F1 driver Jules Bianchi and British IndyCar driver Justin Wilson last year.It doesnt disturb me when driving. I could go fast straight away, Rosberg said. So I think that was a success.Pirelli, the Italian manufacturer, is testing tires to try and add more protection for drivers from impacts with kerbs and track debris. This follows Vettels complaints when his tire blew during last years race.The unexpected glorious weather saw fans arriving in droves, including a large group of Dutch to cheer on Verstappen, tipped as F1s next big star and the youngest driver to win a race.Organizers said 20,000 tickets were sold to Dutch fans. He is also attracting interest from local fans because his mother is Belgian.Thanks to the impact Verstappen has made since joining five races into the season -- securing three more podium finishes to follow up his win in Barcelona -- Red Bull has overtaken Ferrari and sits second in the constructors championship.Now, Hamiltons penalty gives Red Bull team principal Christian Horner hope for another win.They have issues to deal with this weekend with one of their cars, so that gives us further opportunities, he said. Stanley Morgan Jersey . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. Davontae Harris Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. http://www.cheapbengalsjerseyselite.com/...o-atkins-jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury.Charlie Nicholas says Arsenals strikers are not solely to blame for the clubs disappointing campaign, suggesting a central defender should be Arsene Wengers priority this summer. The Gunners slender title hopes were ended with a goalless draw at Sunderland on Super Sunday and a top-four finish is far from guaranteed with fifth-placed Manchester United five points behind with a game in hand.Wengers side are the lowest scorers in the top four and have found the net the same amount of times at home as second-from-bottom Newcastle, while they also have the joint-worst defensive record in the top four along with Manchester City. Former Arsenal forward Nicholas told Sky Sports: I accept over the last two months that the central striker area has been a massive problem, but theres been a problem from day one and thats at centre-back.Theres the soft excuse that Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott have all had their injury problems, but for me the biggest issue exists at the back. Arsene Wenger admitted he is worried about missing out finishing in the top four Theres been so many games where theyve been in control then boom, theres a weak defensive decision and then all of the sudden theyre over the place and the panic sets in.Its just not been solid at all and in my opinion Arsenal have not had a proper defence in five or six seasons.While Wenger has come under fire for failing to add anoother striker last summer, Nicholas thinks Real Madrids 22-year-old defender Raphael Varane could be the ideal candidate to strengthen the backline. Cody Core Jersey. In my opinion Arsenal have not had a proper defence in five or six seasons. Charlie Nicholas When Arsene Wenger starts planning for next season, if he is there, which I think he will be, I would rather he addressed the defensive issues than bought a striker, he added.If I had a position to buy right now and a choice between a centre-forward and Raphael Varane, my priority would be Varane. Charlie predicts... Find out what Charlie is tipping up for Man City v Real Madrid here. It needs to be a leader but one of significance on the pitch, not like Per Mertesacker saying the right things in front of the camera 30 minutes before the game. Leadership isnt chit chat, its being willing to sacrifice yourself. Arsenal create chances and I know its a problem not taking them but they tend to take enough to win games. What they dont do is win games 1-0 like Leicester have been doing. Per Mertesacker saw red in Arsenals 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in January The hardest position to fill is the centre-forward but youve got to sort the basics first and I dont think it needs to be a superstar striker because of the chances they create. Giroud has a decent scoring record for the club and hes not a superstar.If they get Gonzalo Higuain in for say £50m and keep conceding two or three goals then they still wont win anything.
