Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said Max Verstappen is redefining the laws of physics after watching his sensational drive to third at the Brazilian Grand Prix.Though Lewis Hamilton won a chaotic race to ensure the title fight goes to the final race, Verstappen stole the headlines with a thrilling drive peppered with great overtakes. It included a late fightback from 16th to third after a Red Bull strategy gamble backfired, with the team opting for intermediate tyres before the rain intensified, prompting another pit stop.Ahead of the weekend it emerged Wolff -- a long-time admirer of the Red Bull driver -- had called Verstappens father, Jos, to talk about the potential impact his son could have on the battle between Mercedes drivers for the title. After watching his drive in Brazil, Wolff admitted he was in awe of what the younger Verstappen had done.?When asked if he had a word on the 19-year-olds drive, Wolff said: The Verstappen show! It was really unbelievable driving, great entertainment. Physics are being redefined.That praise was shared by Mercedes non-executive and three-time world champion Niki Lauda, who said the teenager had passed drivers in a way others did not.Lewis and Nico [Rosberg] did a perfect job coming first and second, Lauda said. Verstappen was outstanding, the way he passed everybody so it was an interesting race.Lauda rubbished the suggestion Verstappen benefitted from a fresh set of wet tyres late on, saying: Nevertheless, he did the job, unbelievable, the way he passed it was just incredible. I knew the guy is good but he proved to everybody what he can do.

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro witnessed something at team headquarters on Monday that he could not recall seeing before in his three-plus NFL seasons.Every player on defense voluntarily showed up to review game video during what coaches had designated as a day off in the wake of New Orleans victory over Carolina on Sunday.It was good for everybody to kind of see their mistakes, Vaccaro said. There were just a lot of plays that (Carolina) made that were directly related with us playing the wrong technique. It had nothing to do with talent.Its just not acceptable and if we keep seeing that in the future its going to cost us some games, Vaccaro added. We have to get that fixed now.Vaccaro said he senses the Saints overall psyche improving after two straight victories, even though both triumphs came by the narrowest of margins.New Orleans needed a dramatic comeback to win by a point at San Diego on Oct. 2. The Saints then returned from a their bye to pull out a victory with a field goal in the final seconds over the Panthers, who were less rested coming off a loss the previous Monday night.Everybodys positive. Everybody understands how hard it is to win in this league, Vaccaro said.That was a good football team we played, regardless of what their record is, Vaccaro said the Panthers, who are the defending NFC champions and have dropped three of their five losses by a field goal or less.Vaccaro then added, The San Diego Charges just went and beat the Denver Broncos, the Super Bowl winner. We beat (the Chargers), so, I mean, everybody feels good.Even when they were 0-3, the Saints were already pleased by the performance of their offense, which has ranked among the best in the league since Week 1. Against Carolina, Drew Brees passed for 465 yards and four touchdowns while completing 34 passes to 10 players. The Saints finished with 523 total yards of offense while scoring 41 points.For us to be able to do something like that, its great for everyone because it opens up the offense so the defense cant key on one guy, said receiver Brandin Cooks, who had 173 yards receiving, including an 87-yard TD, against Carolina.dddddddddddd When you have success like that with everyone on the field and not just a couple people, you definitely have to say the passing game is improving.While the Saints would like such production to result in more comfortable victory margins, Cooks said during a conference call Monday that any kind of win improves the Saints confidence right now.It seems like were turning things around, Cooks said. Now we just have to come together as one team with our offense putting up a lot of points and our defense holding opposing teams to fewer points.But after the Panthers piled up 406 yards and 38 points, the Saints are now allowing 33.6 points per game, which ranks last in the NFL, and 419.4 yards per game, which ranks second-to-last.Without improvement on that side of the ball, the Saints will be hard pressed to keep winning. Their next two games are at Kansas City (3-2) this Sunday and at home against Seattle (4-1) on Oct. 30.When Cooks heard defensive players were gathering to review video on a day off, he sounded pleased by the units determination to improve, but didnt want to be too critical of the defenses play.We got each others back because there will be games where it seems like offense cant put up the point we usually do, Cooks said. Obviously, were all going to hold each other accountable to be able to work harder, to be able to fix things and figure out things. ... We cant be blind to the situation.Coach Sean Payton, meanwhile, wasnt ready to read too much into the direction of his team, which has seen four of its five games come down to the last possession.There are times in a season where you gain momentum and generally I think its a little further out than where were at right now, Payton said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
