Sebastian Vettel admits Ferrari is on the back foot following a difficult Friday ahead of the United States Grand Prix.The German lost a small aerodynamic part from underneath the front wing of his Ferrari during the opening practice session and spent a spell in the garage as a result, missing valuable track time. Vettel had a better afternoon session, posting the fourth fastest time, albeit 0.8s off the pace of Nico Rosbergs front-running Mercedes.Well it was a tough day to be fair, Vettel said. I think this morning we had some problem with a little wing that failed and came off and we lost some track time. It was a bit costly for the afternoon because we couldnt really re-balance the car so I think we are a bit on the back-foot today.Not entirely happy with the car balance yet, its a little bit too nervous all around but I think tomorrow we can improve, usually Friday you dont see the full picture. Hopefully tomorrow well be a lot stronger.Vettel ended FP2 0.7s down on Daniel Ricciardos Red Bull but was marginally ahead of Max Verstappen.When asked whether he thinks Ferrari can beat Red Bull in Austin this weekend, he replied: Well I think we have a chance. Today they were very quick, theres no doubt, but then again its Friday so I wouldnt worry too much. We never know what the others are doing, I think we know what we were doing.As I said we didnt have the best day, but for sure it will be very close and difficult to match them tomorrow with the speed they showed today but I think the Ferrari you saw today is not the Ferrari you will see tomorrow.Despite a tricky day, the four-time world champion -- who won at the Circuit of the Americas in 2013 for Red Bull -- remains confident about Ferraris chances heading into qualifying on Saturday.I think we didnt have the rhythm today for a couple of reasons, some of them I mentioned, some of them I dont want to mention. Tomorrow I think we should be better and if I trust 100 percent the car with some things that I think will be better tomorrow then I think qualifying can be very good and able to hopefully squeeze a bit extra. Surely it will be very close but we will fight.Vettel had to visit the stewards after FP2 for joining the pitlane by not staying to the left of the bollard on entry. The stewards handed him his first reprimand of the season for the incident.Race director Charlie Whiting had instructed drivers to stay to the left of the bollard when entering the pits.

Nike Air Max 97 Günstig .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. PHOENIX -- One game is usually an unfair gauge of a football team. The opener is often tainted by first-game nerves, new players in unfamiliar positions, new schemes being tried out live for the first time.Once the second game is played, the extenuating circumstances are mostly gone and the true identity of a team starts to form.With that in mind, it seemed like a good time to check in on the teams in the Pac-12 to see if they have lived up to expectations through two weeks or fallen short.Take a look:---Arizona (1-1): The Wildcats had numerous questions heading into the season and still have plenty left after losing to BYU and rallying to beat FCS Grambling State at home. Arizonas defense, one of the biggest concerns, has been mostly solid, but the usually productive offense has had trouble getting started, unable to get much going until the second half of games, when the team is behind. A knee injury for quarterback Anu Solomon added to some of the offensive issues.Arizona State (2-0): The Sun Devils were criticized for their slow start against FCS Northern Arizona -- a game that turned into a rout -- and then quieted some of that talk with Saturdays 68-55 win over Texas Tech. Giving up 55 points at home is a concern, though, particularly since coach Todd Graham said blown coverages led directly to 28 points for the Red Raiders.California (1-1): An opening 51-31 win over Hawaii showcased the Bears offense at its best, but they struggled to run the ball on offense and to stop the run on defense in a 45-40 loss to San Diego State last week. It doesnt get any easier this week: Next up is No. 11 Texas before conference games start.Colorado (2-0): The Buffaloes have been a little better than expected after blowing out rival Colorado State and Idaho State in their first two games. Colorados upgraded defense will get a much bigger test this week against No. 4 Michigan in Ann Arbor.Oregon (2-0): The Ducks moved up to No. 22 in The Associated Press poll this week after beating Virginia in Eugene. Oregon has had trouble with second-half focus, allowing the Cavaliers and UC Davis to each score three second-half touchdowns to close the gap on games that were blowouts. A big test comes this week on the road against Nebraska.Oregon State (0-1): The Beavers have a smaller sample size after lasst weekends bye.dddddddddddd Oregon State got off to a good start in its opener, leading Minnesota after three quarters, but still needs work on finishing games after allowing the Gophers to score 13 points in the fourth for the win. The Beavers should have it relatively easy this week against Idaho State, but a game against Boise State follows before the Pac-12 season starts.Stanford (1-0): Like Oregon State, the seventh-ranked Cardinal are coming off a bye week. Stanford scraped past Kansas State and may still be sorting out its quarterback situation. Ryan Burns started the opener, but Kelly Chryst led the Cardinal quickly down the field on a scoring drive. Next up: A showdown with Southern California.UCLA (1-1): QB Josh Rosen shouldered the blame for the Bruins opening loss to Texas A&M, but was a big reason they outlasted UNLV last weekend. How the sophomore plays will be a big factor in whether UCLA can make a run at the Pac-12 South title, which starts after what could be a tough trip to BYU this week.USC (1-1): A season of optimism started with a thud in the form of a blowout loss to top-ranked Alabama. The Trojans gained a bit of confidence back with last weeks lopsided win over Utah State, but this weeks game against Stanford will be a better gauge as to whether theyve recovered from the opener.Utah (2-0): The defense, no surprise, has been strong through the first two games, wins over Southern Utah and BYU. The offense needs to take better care of the ball; the Utes beat the rival Cougars despite turning it over six times.Washington (2-0): The eighth-ranked Huskies have lived up to expectations, but opening games against Rutgers and Idaho werent exactly tough tests. This week should be another easy one for Washington with Portland State heading to Seattle, so the true nature of this team wont likely be known until conference starts a week later.Washington State (0-2): Coach Mike Leach says his team has the atmosphere of a JV softball game after Washington State opened with losses to FCS Eastern Washington and Boise State. The Cougars play Idaho this week and need to make up ground quickly if theyre going to match last years breakthrough season. ' ' '
