AUSTIN, Texas -- Nico Rosberg sat slumped in his chair, exhausted and exasperated after another race and world title was taken away by Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. Then came the hat toss seen around the world.These friends-turned rivals return to Texas and the U.S. Grand Prix in very different places this week. This time, its Rosberg with the big lead and Hamilton running out of time if he hopes to retain his Formula One championship.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 33 points with four races left on the schedule. That means Hamilton has to make a big push starting Sunday on a track where hes won three of the last four years.America has been good hunting ground for me, Hamilton said.A win streak alone wont do it. Hamilton needs a bad race from Rosberg somewhere. If Rosberg finishes second three times and finishes third once, hell still claim his first career championship. A Rosberg victory anywhere along the way would all but clinch it.My frame of mind at the moment is to have fun, Hamilton said. Im determined to win. Theres never a day in my life when I dont want to win. I could come here like Ive got to win every race, but Ive been racing a long time. I know what Im doing so just go do it the best I can and enjoy.Is that concession?Absolutely not, Hamilton said. Theres still 100 points out there. Its possible.Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who won a couple of close title chases, agreed.Hes quick enough, Vettel said. Im sure hell go for it. Its only over when its over.Rosberg may dictate when the end comes. Hes been a different driver since his moment of post-race infamy in 2015.After Hamilton clinched last seasons title in Austin, he playfully tossed Rosberg his podium cap in the drivers cool-down room. Rosberg immediately threw it back at him in a petulant moment captured on live television.The split-second reaction symbolized the meltdown of Rosbergs title efforts and the relationship between two drivers who became friends when they were coming up through the junior circuits.Last year this race obviously didnt work out so great for me, so Im looking forward to getting back out there and doing my best to get it right this time, Rosberg said.Rosberg emerged from his Austin disaster with steely determination. He won the final three races of 2015 and the first four of 2016. A mid-season slump allowed Hamilton to charge back from a 43-point deficit, but Rosberg has been coolly efficient of late with a run of four wins in the last five races.Rosberg refused to be pulled into thinking about the pressure facing both drivers or whether hes walking a tightrope of emotion with a title so close within reach. His father, Keke Rosberg, won the championship in 1982.I dont know how much pressure Lewis is putting on himself ... Im going to focus on this weekend, Rosberg said.Rosberg also said he wont settle for the safety of second place on Sunday.I will try to push for the win, 100 percent, he said. With the car I have, I can win on any track against Lewis.Hamiltons title hopes took a huge dent two races ago in Malaysia when he was leading late but was forced to retire with an engine problem. Hamilton looked dejected when he got out of the car day and said it felt like something or someone was working against him.A higher power, he later said. It feels right now that the man above or any higher power is intervening a little bit.Like the previous two seasons, Mercedes has dominated the field with 15 wins in 17 races. No other driver has factored into the title chase.If he loses the title, Hamilton said hell try to take it like a man because you cant win them all.Look at all the champions in the past who have who have won championships and lost championships, he said. It is part of the game. NFL Cheap Jerseys .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Stitched Cheap Jerseys . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. An allrounder on debut took 6 wickets for 41, and a rookie opener hit 55 and 36 not out to claim the games highest aggregate, yet it was day threes bowling effort that broke the match open, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said.Though New Zealand had secured a first-innings lead of 67, Pakistan had moved to 58 for 1 in the second innings, and appeared to be settling in, on a flattening surface. In an extended spell of tight and hostile bowling, however, New Zealand struck a double-blow, claiming the wickets of Babar Azam and Younis Khan in quick succession. They also accounted for Misbah-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed in a 15-ball burst in the third session, and when Mohammad Amir departed not long after, Pakistan had lost six wickets for 47 runs - their match prospects in tatters.Without a doubt our bowling effort in the second innings was the decisive period, Williamson said. We were hoping for some movement off the surface and Pakistan showed a lot of resistance - especially early - and were very patient. But the way that four seamers got into spells and held their areas for long periods at a time, it was world-class. They passed it over for the next bloke to take up the baton, and it was a huge effort being patient and getting the rewards later on in the day yesterday.We didnt get the ball to do a huge amount in the second innings, but we held our lines and our lengths really consistently for a long period of time. It was really important to make that adjustment quickly and not get too greedy and overpitch, because in the first innings you did need to bowl fuller to get those rewards.The debutants - both from Auckland, and both sporting moustaches - received praise from their captain, given their impact on the match. In addition to his record-breaking first-innings haul, Colin de Grandhomme also struck 29 crucial first-innings runs, and claimed a further scalp in 144 second-innings overs that only cost 23.ddddddddddddolin was picked because his style of bowling complements the other bowlers, Williamson said. Tim Southee and Trent Boult are terrific swing bowlers, but when it isnt swinging as much and you want to exploit a bit of nip out the surface, someone like Colin might be a good option, we felt. It turned out he certainly was. You do have to put the ball in the right area and he showed his composure as well, to execute his plans for a long period of time with the ball.Having top-scored in the first innings, Jeet Raval also proved a capable slip fielder, taking three catches in the cordon, before also completing an excellent diving catch in the outfield on day four.Jeet came into international cricket and it looked like hed been there for years, Williamson said. He was very calm, very relaxed, and stuck to the game plan. To go out and open the innings, against a very good bowling attack, on a surface that was offering something to the seam bowlers and achieve what he did was great to see, particularly in the first innings. Then he showed his composure again in the chase for the victory.The victory was Williamsons first as captain, both on home soil and against a top-nine opposition. It snapped a streak of four losses accrued on tours of India and South Africa.Its nice to get a win, but more importantly to have a performance that didnt show too much baggage from the past. There were a couple of really tough tours in South Africa and India. It was important we learned a lot, but at the same time, put some of that baggage away and tried to focus on what we needed to do here.The second Test begins from November 25, in Hamilton, where New Zealand could seal their first series win against Pakistan since 1984-85.
