Lewis Hamilton insists he gained no advantage from cutting the first corner on his way to winning Sundays Mexican Grand Prix.Hamilton made a quick getaway and led the field on the long run down to Turn 1, but suffered a large lock-up under braking and went straight across the grass, before re-joining in the lead at the exit of the chicane. After the race Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo said the Briton should have been handed a penalty.When asked whether he thought he had gained an advantage by going wide, Hamilton swiftly replied: Well I completely flat-spotted the tyres so that wasnt an advantage but I think I was still in the lead going in, and I was in the lead going out so I dont believe so.The triple-world champion explained he had suffered from a glazed front right brake on the formation lap, which he said played a significant factor at the start. Hamilton also admitted he did not think he would make it through the first stint without having to pit for fresh tyres following his lock-up.Basically on the formation lap I had a glazed front right brake, I couldnt hook it up so I had 500 degrees on the left front and 150-200 on the right front. Coming into Turn 1 and the right front just woke up and locked, I was carrying so much speed. I was just lucky I didnt go in the wall or something.After that I had the biggest vibration, I didnt think I was going to make it through the first stint. I honestly thought I was going to have to stop, the vibration was so big. I could barely see it to be honest but it was really nice when we got some new fresh tyres, much smoother.Hamiltons victory was the 51st of his career, which not only ties him with Alain Prost on the all-time leader board in second place, but also marks Mercedes 17th win of 2016 -- the most wins achieved by any constructor over the course of a single season.After being asked for his thoughts on both landmarks, Hamilton said: Well the most important one is the team one. Its just incredible, fantastic, over half of the victories Ive had have been with this team.Its just a true showing that we have an incredible group of people, how well we work together and for the third year in a row weve proved that we are the best team so Im very proud to be a part of it.That was the plan coming to this team, hopefully being a part of that growth and that success. I couldnt have dreamt it to be even better than it is. Troy Polamalu Steelers Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Franco Harris Steelers Jersey . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. http://www.steelerspronfl.com/Youth-Zach-Gentry-Elite-Jersey/ . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. T. J. Watt Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. Jack Lambert Womens Jersey . The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season. If youre going to get a rash of injuries, I suppose you might as well get them early in the season and not at the end, when you need your players most. But yeesh, its as if a dark cloud has hovered over the Dallas Stars before the puck even dropped for the 2016-17 season.To wit:Captain and superstar forward Jamie Benn had offseason surgery to repair an injured core muscle. He played his first preseason game Tuesday night and is hoping to be up to speed in time for the regular season.Scoring sensation Tyler Seguin suffered a heel injury in Team Canadas first World Cup pre-tournament game Sept. 8. He started skating this week, and the Stars remain hopeful that he will return in time for the start of the season.Winger Ales Hemsky remains out with a groin injury he suffered while playing for the Czechs at the World Cup. The Stars are hoping hes back for the start of the season.Center Cody Eakin is out until early November because of a knee injury.Forward Mattias Janmark is out five or six months because of joint disorder in his knee.Forward Devin Shore (lower body) could be back around opening night.Forward Jason Dickinson had hip surgery in April and is out until December.For good measure, winger Valeri Nichushkin bolted to the KHL on a two-year deal last month.Uncle! However, if Benn and Seguin get in a full season or close to it, there is no reason the Stars cant contend for the Central Division title they won the past season. Still, it has been an inauspicious start, to be sure.Best new facesThe late August signing of Jiri Hudler to a one-year, $2 million deal might be one of best bargains of the summer, especially with Nichushkin gone to Russia. Pay attention, fantasy players, Hudler might very well start the season on a line with Benn and Seguin. The Czech veteran is just two years removed from a 76-point season in which he scored 31 goals. Playing with Benn and Seguin, he should certainly top the combined 46 points (16-30) he put up in 69 games with the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers?last season.Veteran defenseman Dan Hamhuis was a quality unrestricted free-agent addition. Whats funny is the Stars nearly acquired him at the trade deadline last season, but the deal with the Vancouver Canucks?fell through. Now the Stars have Hamhuis. He will be an important top-four presence and a character leader in the dressing room.Biggest unknownsHow will the blue line adjust to losing Alex Goligoski, Kris Russell and Jason Demers in the offseason? Hamhuis was added, but the Stars are banking on younger defensemen Patrik Nemeth, Jamie Oleksiak and Stephen Johns to be ready to take on bigger roles this season.dddddddddddd That might mean the first half of the season is spent with these guys figuring things out. But long-term, the Stars have been preparing for this. Young star defenseman John Klingberg continues his growth as well.The biggest unknown of all, of course, remains in goal, where the veteran Finnish duo of Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi produced mixed results the past season. On one hand, the two combined for 50 wins en route to a Central Division title. On the other, they combined for a .906 save percentage, which isnt good enough. The lasting image of Lehtonen getting pounded by the St. Louis Blues?early in Game 7 wont soon be forgotten. Can they rebound? Is this goaltending good enough for the Stars to get to the Stanley Cup finals? I will say this: By the March trade deadline, there will be teams worried about losing a goalie they like in the June expansion draft to Las Vegas. That could present the Stars opportunities to upgrade in goal, if indeed GM Jim Nill feels that is warranted. Right now, I believe Nill thinks Lehtonen and Niemi can do the job.Sure thingsJamie Benn won the NHL scoring title in 2014-15, with 87 points (35-52) in 82 games, and followed that by finishing second to Patrick Kane last season, with 89 points (41-48) in 82 games. Benn does it all on both sides of the puck. He is a throwback in some ways, with his intimidating style, yet he is blessed with soft hands. OK, Ive got a man crush on Benn, I will admit it.Klingberg finished fifth among all NHL defensemen with 58 points (10-48) in 76 games last season, up from the 40 points (11-29) he put up in 65 games in his rookie season. Hes only 24, and hes still getting better. Hes fun to watch and keys the transition game for the Stars.PredictionThe Stars have had a tough training camp with injuries, but they will get through it and on
