Daniel Ricciardo says he is confident his Red Bull team can challenge Mercedes in Sundays Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.Mercedes topped the timesheets in both practice sessions on Friday, with pacesetter Lewis Hamilton over 0.5s clear of both Max Verstappen and Ricciardo in fourth and fifth respectively during FP2. Although Mercedes appears to be in control of proceedings at this stage of the weekend, Ricciardo believes Red Bull can put pressure on the Silver Arrows duo in both qualifying and the race.If we put it all together tomorrow we are more or less there, the Australian said. Vettel put in a quick time. I think we will find that little tomorrow, and it will be a good fight for third place. Mercedes as expected are ahead. But I dont think they are miles ahead. Looking at today, maybe we could still race them on Sunday.On one lap we can still find a few tenths, maybe everyone else can as well, but I am confident that we can make a small step from where we were today. The long run today was good, and on the long run we can also find a little bit.The race sim looked promising this morning, and this afternoon we seemed to be competitive enough. We can still make the car better, so I am confident going into tomorrow we can be strong. But even more confident going into Sunday.Nico Rosberg heads into the weekend with a 12-point championship lead, and knows he only has to finish in the top three to secure his maiden Formula One title, regardless of where teammate Hamilton comes.When asked whether he believes Rosberg was taking it easy on Friday in order to save his engine, Ricciardo replied: Yeah, it is a dangerous circuit around here, lots of walls and stuff! No, I dont see any reason to hold back in practice. If it is Monaco I understand maybe you want to be careful with your equipment.But here you can definitely push and go on the limit, so we will see tomorrow. Maybe he is holding back a bit, not showing Lewis too much, but it is going to be interesting. Everyone predicts Lewis to take the pole, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow.

The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.authenticdolphinspro.com/Mark-duper-dolphins-jersey/ .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. Jason Taylor Womens Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Newcastle coach Mark Jones has given his A-League players a stern ultimatum, calling for more quality in key moments or warning hell find others who can do a better job.Jones was visibly vexed after Sundays 2-0 loss to Sydney FC, a contest they were never really in despite the Sky Blues wastefulness in the final third.On the one hand, he launched a passionate defence of his injury-ravaged squad, adamant they were still in the fight after a dour first half.Yet the clubs first-year coach was clearly wearing the pain of a seventh winless match.Jones was content with his teams formation and tactics, but lamented their tendency to turn the ball over at key moments.Thats extremely frustrating because thats all we work on at training, Jones said.(I told the players) its not good enough. We need that quality and if we dont have that quality then we need to find players that do have that quality.We didnt sit back back and park the bus, we tried to press up high and play through them and have a go.I expect them to be able to execute and play through and keep the ball in tight areas through the middle of the park.Not helping the Jets fortunes have been the injuriess that have ripped the guts out of the squad, including captain Nigel Boogaard (knee).ddddddddddddIn a timely boost, Jones expected to regain in-form winger Andrew Nabbout (ankle), key defender Daniel Mullen (knee), Danish attacker Morten Nordstrand (hip flexor) and, potentially, young defender Lachlan Jackson (ankle) for this weekends away clash with Perth.Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko is still recovering from a broken jaw.Ben Kantarovski, who made a club-record 135 appearances for the Jets on Sunday, limped off in the second half with seemingly yet another knee injury, but Jones said the makeshift defender had pulled up fine.Having slipped to ninth and on equal points with last-placed Wellington, Jones admitted it was difficult maintaing morale.The longer you go without a win, morale and confidence drops, he said.But theyve got to learn to play.At the start they were actually confident enough to play through a good team. They just need to keep doing that until we score a goal.Obviously, some firepower up front would help. ' ' '
