F1 looks at how the 2017 grid is currently looking following the latest moves in the driver market, starting with the teams yet to confirm their line-ups for next year.HaasRomain Grosjean, TBCRomain Grosjean is almost certain to stay, though it has not been made official by the team yet. His 2017 teammate has been uncertain for much of the year, with Esteban Gutierrezs underwhelming performances leaving his seat in doubt. The Mexican driver seems unlikely to stay, with Renaults Kevin Magnussen reported to have signed a deal with the American team.SauberTBC, TBCSauber was understandably distracted during the first half of the season before finally confirming its new ownership ahead of Hungary. The acquisition by Longbow Finance has secured the teams future on the grid and may well do the same for Marcus Ericsson, with the Swiss company linked to his own backers. Felipe Nasr brings significant money to the team with his Banco do Brasil sponsorship emblazoned on the car but has struggled compared to his impressive rookie season. Both should retain their seats with options limited elsewhere, unless Sauber is interested in bringing Esteban Gutierrez back into the fold.ManorTBC, TBCManor already knows it will be looking for one new driver next year following Esteban Ocons move to Force India. That move, and the limited amount of seats elsewhere, makes it likely Pascal Wehrlein will spend another year at the team. The Mercedes driver is highly-rated and the parent team are keen for him to continue his development.His teammate is uncertain at the moment: Alexander Rossi has committed to another season in IndyCar, while fellow reserve driver Rio Haryantos financial situation is still unclear. Jordan King, the son of the teams CEO, recently tested for the team in Austin and looks a strong contender for a seat. Esteban Gutierrez could be an outside bet if the team wants a driver with F1 experience.MercedesLewis Hamilton, Nico RosbergThe world champions have confirmed Rosberg is staying at the team alongside Hamilton until the end of 2018, meaning we will not see a promotion for Wehrlein or Ocon until 2019 at the earliest. Keeping the pair together for fifth season was a sensible choice and gives the team stability at a time the regulations are set to change in a big way. Whether they will be in a class-leading car again next season remains to be seen.?FerrariKimi Raikkonen, Sebastian VettelFerrari confirmed it is keeping Raikkonen ahead of the British Grand Prix, which will keep him alongside Vettel for a third consecutive season. Though there were rumours of Daniel Ricciardo, Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez being of interest, Ferrari did not want to upset driver disharmony at the team despite Raikkonens inconsistent performances since re-joining the team in 2014. It is worth noting the late Jules Bianchi was seen as the natural successor to Raikkonen.WilliamsValtteri Bottas, Lance StrollEighteen-year-old Lance Stroll, the newly-crowned European Formula 3 champion, has been confirmed alongside Valtteri Bottas for 2017. Stroll replaces the retiring Felipe Massa and, despite being backed by a billionaire father, brings exciting talent and potential to the team. Bottas is still highly rated at Williams and looked a logical candidate despite fleeting interest in a seat at Renault.Red BullDaniel Ricciardo, Max VerstappenAnother team claiming to have the best line-up on the current grid has confirmed it will be unchanged next season (and into 2018). Verstappens elevation to Red Bull this year has given the team its first win since 2014 and has forced Ricciardo to step up his game, a win-win for a team hoping to be right back in title contention next season when the new regulations place the emphasis back on aerodynamics.Force IndiaSergio Perez, Esteban OconAfter months of speculation about Sergio Perezs future, Nico Hulkenberg was the driver to leave the team for Renault. That opened up a vacancy at Force India for the first time since those two were paired together in 2014. With a big list of candidates to choose from the team swooped for exciting young Mercedes junior Esteban Ocon, who has spent the latter half of this season cutting his teeth at Manor.RenaultNico Hulkenberg, Jolyon PalmerPerhaps the most curious driver line-up on the current grid given the two drivers it features. Hulkenbergs move to Renault seemingly came out of nowhere after his Force India teammate Sergio Perez decided to stay put for next year. Though Renault was strongly linked with French driver Esteban Ocon, Hulkenbergs move from Force India made it likely he would be driving a Mercedes-powered car next season. That left it a straight choice between Jolyon Palmer and Kevin Magnussen, who have both endured inconsistent seasons. The fact it chose Palmer over Magnussen seems to confirm rumours the Dane is set to sign for Haas next season.Toro RossoCarlos Sainz, Daniil KvyatToro Rosso has confirmed another year of Sainz, who is still hoping to force an elevation to Red Bull similar to Verstappen this year. Verstappens elevation saw Daniil Kvyat drop to the Italian team this year and, despite a difficult season at his old team, the Russian driver has been confirmed for another season. That decision surprised some observers, given Red Bull junior Pierre Gaslys form in GP2 this year, but gives Kvyat a final chance to prove hes worthy of a drive.McLarenFernando Alonso, Stoffel VandoorneAt the Italian Grand Prix, McLaren finally put the media out of its misery by announcing Stoffel Vandoorne as Fernando Alonsos teammate for 2017. Jenson Button, meanwhile, has signed a new contract to remain at McLaren as an ambassador -- a role that includes a sabbatical year in 2017 and an option (assuming both parties agree) for a return to racing in 2018. Alonso has made clear that his F1 future will depend on the success of the 2017 regulations (and McLarens success under them) so it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Button wont return.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. Arturo Vidal Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. The NFL has rejected sworn affidavits from Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers?and free-agent linebacker Mike Neal and has demanded to interview them at training camp, a source told ESPNs Adam Schefter.The players wrote the affidavits in response to an Al-Jazeera America report that mentioned them in performance-enhancing drugs allegations.The league rejected the NFL Players Associations view that affidavits constitute reasonable cooperation by the players and confirmed that they are required to participate in in-person interviews, the source said.The PED policy reflects the NFL and NFLPAs shared commitment to protect the fairness and integrity of the competition on the field, and we owe it to the players, clubs and fans to fully address any claims of this nature, a league source told Schefter.The NFL advised the NFLPA that to move forward to resolve the allegations, the league would first interview Neal and then follow with the other player interviews.The Packers open camp Tuesday, and the Steelers open camp July 29.In his affidavit, Harrison said he has never violated the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs and also has never met the man who alleged to Al-Jazeera America that he supplied him with an illegal substance.The affidavit, dated July 11, 2016, was included with a letter from Heather M.dddddddddddd McPhee, the NFLPAs associate general counsel, to Adolpho Birch, the NFLs senior vice president of labor policy.The union included the affidavit, along with a transcript of the only references to Harrison in the Al-Jazeera report, to support its position that there is no need for Harrison to agree to an in-person interview with the NFL as the league lacks evidence to support such an interview.Charlie Sly -- the source for the Al-Jazeera report that implicated the four aforementioned players, as well as retired quarterback Peyton Manning and athletes from other sports -- has since recanted his remarks. The NFLPA has argued that because of that, the players should not have to discuss the matter with the NFL. Birch has previously disputed the relevance of that argument.The Al-Jazeera America documentary The Dark Side aired last December. In the transcript, which was provided by the NFLPA with the letter, Sly tells an undercover reporter that he supplied Harrison with a substance named D2 or Delta-2.Harrison, however, says in the affidavit that to the best of my knowledge and recollection, I have never met the individual who is apparently named Charles Sly, whose remarks appeared in the report.
