Sebastian Vettel says F1s cannot be proud of continuing with its elimination qualifying format - a decision Lewis Hamilton has branded strange.The revised knockout format introduced at the Australian GP will remain in Bahrain despite being heavily criticised by drivers, pundits and fans.Ahead of the race in the desert, Vettel used a bizarre metaphor of an ice-cream shop only selling a flavour no one wanted to underline his point. If you sell ice-cream and you sell vanilla ice-cream, but everybody that comes to your shop is asking for chocolate ice-cream and the next day you open and you expect to sell chocolate ice-cream, but instead you sell vanilla ice-cream again, the German said.So usually you do what your clients like you to do, but you are not really doing the job I guess by doing the exact opposite. It is something we cant be proud of. Sky Sports F1s pundits debate whether to scrap the new qualifying format ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. World championship rival Lewis Hamilton admitted it was strange that the little-loved system remained in place for Bahrain.Although team bosses agreed to drop the new format a day after the debacle in Melbourne, the proposal to revert to the 2015 rules was never put to a vote of the F1 Commission. A plan to keep the 90-second eliminations for just Q1 and Q2 was instead put forward, something McLaren and Red Bull voted against. Bahrain GP on Sky Sports TV times and full schedule for this weekends race I heard that all the teams had to agree and some of the teams didnt, which seems a bit weird because, ultimately, its not what the teams feel its what the fans feel and you do whatever is right for the fans, Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ.Formula 1 wouldnt be anything without the fans, so it is very strange. My engineers say its going to be exactly the same, so we shall see. Sometimes you have to try something twice before you realise its the wrong thing, so I guess thats what were going to do. Why Lewis Hamilton has urged motorsports governing body to listen to the fans Haass Romain Grosjean agreed that the Saturday spectacle was unlikely to be any more exciting in Bahrain, saying: I do not like this format. I think none of the drivers do, none of the fans do, none of the media do, but it has been decided to give it another go here. I dont see why it will be massively different, but we have to deal with it.Meanwhile, Vettel was one of the signatories on a letter which criticised how F1s decisions were taken, but he emphasised the letter was not aimed at one individual.Some ideas are not as good as certain others and we had a lot of ideas that were bad and they didnt happen, we had other ideas that were good and they did happen, he said. Marc Priestley is in the hot-seat this week as he and his two guests discuss the matters of the moment in F1 heading into the Bahrain GP I think that is normal when you try to progress. But I think if everybody is against something and you still decide for it, qualifying now is just one example, then something is not right.I dont think you can pinpoint one person in particular, but I think it is clear for all the drivers what we think is wrong and we are happy to help with the future.Our intention was that we really question our current situation, current decision making and hopefully improve that in the future.However, Vettel believes while drivers should have a say in the rule-making process, they shouldnt be responsible for their creation. The F1 drivers react to questions over the release of their GPDA letter We drivers are not here to make the rules. In no sport do the sportsmen make the rules and we dont want to be the ones who decide where the sport is going, he said.We are not asking to be in charge of the rules, there are people in charge and if there are currently regulations in place that stop people doing their job then we should rethink those and change the system.For certain decisions I think it would be beneficial to listen to the drivers as we are the ones driving the car.

The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference.ATLANTA -- For Dan Quinn, success came quickly one year ago as a rookie coach with the Atlanta Falcons.Quinn won his first five games as the Falcons appeared a certainty to make the playoffs.The Falcons were 6-1 before their season began to unravel when another rookie, quarterback Jameis Winston, led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 23-20 overtime win in Atlanta. The Buccaneers rallied after trailing by 17 points and completed a sweep of the season series with another close, comeback win in Tampa one month later.Quinns Falcons and Winstons Buccaneers renew the NFC South rivalry in Sundays opener that could help reveal which team might make a move up in the division.Winston said he knows the Falcons will remember last seasons losses to Tampa Bay.When you beat somebody like that, youve got to know that theyre coming with it, Winston said. ... And I know theyve got it out for us, so we have to be ready.There is a new layer to the rivalry this year. Mike Smith, who had the most wins of any coach in Falcons history, returns to Atlanta in his new job as Tampa Bays defensive coordinator. Smith was hired by new Bucs coach Dirk Koetter, the teams former offensive coordinator. Koetter was Atlantas offensive coordinator under Smith.Smith said his knowledge of some of Atlantas key players, including Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman, wont make a difference.Were only familiar with a handful of guys, Smith said. That roster has changed over the last two years. I think there are less than 15 guys that are on their roster that were there two years ago. ... I think it is somewhat of an advantage, but it can be a disadvantage because you know too much.Quinn also doesnt expect his players memories of Smith and Koetter to be a factor.I think a lot of the players here would have lots of respect and regard for those two, but in between the white lines its all about the game and the players, Quinn said.Smith will work from the press box during the game.Here are some things to know about the opener:REBOUND HOPES FOR RYAN: Quinn often says its about the ball. That means cutting down on 30 giveaways -- tied for fifth most in the league. Ryans 16 interceptions were the second most of his career and came with only 21 touchdoown passes, his fewest since his 2008 rookie season.ddddddddddddRyans decline led to questions about his coexistence with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. At 31, Ryan faces a key season as he must prove he is the quarterback to lead Atlanta back to the playoffs.PASS RUSH BLUES: For Atlanta, improving the leagues worst pass rush is an obvious emphasis. The Falcons were last in the NFL with only 19 sacks in 2015. But its also an area of concern for the Buccaneers , who are looking for more consistency even though their 38 sacks last season doubled Atlantas dismal total.The Falcons have ranked no higher than 28th in sacks since 2012. Veteran Dwight Freeney, who led Arizona with eight sacks last season, was signed as a pass-rush specialist. The Falcons hope Freeney, 36, can serve as a mentor to second-year player Vic Beasley Jr., who had four sacks as a rookie.COMFORT ZONE: Winston is more comfortable running Koetters offense entering his second season. The coach also feels a lot better about his young quarterback, whose first NFL pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Winston rebounded to join Cam Newton and Andrew Luck as the only rookies in league history to throw for more than 4,000 yards.Last year we were still in that phase where Jameis was turning it over three or four times every day. Hes not doing that now, Koetter said, referring to the quarterbacks performance in practice.DIVIDE AND CONQUER: Atlantas two losses to Tampa Bay were part of a 1-5 showing against NFC South teams that led to an 8-8 finish. The Buccaneers finished 6-10, with a 3-3 record in the division.The Falcons face NFC South teams in three of their first four games this season.DOME SWEET HOME: This is the start of the final season for the Georgia Dome. The Falcons new home, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, is being built beside the dome. The new facility will have a retractable roof and also will be home to the new Atlanta United MLS team, also owned by Arthur Blank.---AP Sports Writer Fred Goodall in Tampa contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
