EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Kurt Rambis is returning to the Los Angeles Lakers coaching staff as an assistant to Mike DAntoni. The Lakers hired former NBA head coaches Rambis and Johnny Davis on Monday to fill out DAntonis coaching staff for his second season with the club. Rambis was a key role player and a bespectacled fan favourite for the Lakers during the "Showtime" era. He has been associated with the team in various capacities for three decades, including a brief stint as the head coach. He served as an assistant coach from 1994-99, 2001-04 and 2005-09, helping to guide the team to two NBA titles and four Finals appearances during coach Phil Jacksons tenure. Rambis went 24-13 as the Lakers head coach during the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season, and he spent two stints in the Lakers front office. "Kurt is a great basketball mind, extremely good at working with big men, and his experience as a head coach in this league is going to prove very helpful to our staff," DAntoni said. Rambis was thought to be a possible heir to Jackson before leaving to take over the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2009. Rambis was fired in 2011 after going 32-132 in two seasons with the rebuilding franchise. Rambis has been a television analyst for the past two seasons, frequently appearing on ESPN and the Lakers own Time Warner-backed network in Los Angeles. Davis, a 10-year NBA veteran player, was the Philadelphia 76ers head coach in 1996-97, and he coached the Orlando Magic from 2003-05. He spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors. Dan DAntoni is the only assistant from Mike DAntonis huge Lakers coaching staff who is sticking around for a second season in Los Angeles. Mike DAntoni retained several assistants from fired coach Mike Browns staff when he took over five games into last season. Steve Clifford was hired as the Charlotte Bobcats head coach, and Eddie Jordan took over at Rutgers. Bernie Bickerstaff and Phil Handy followed Brown to Cleveland, and Darvin Ham is an assistant in Atlanta.

The world champion won the season-opening race last year and has been on pole for the previous two grands prix at Albert Park.With just eight days of pre-season testing in total, and that running coming later than usual, Hamilton feels starved of F1 action and cant wait to get back on track. It has been a great winter and Im just itching to get back racing, Hamilton told Sky Sports.It feels like it has been a lot longer this winter because testing started later and even though testing had less days, it felt longer than ever because of the amount of laps we did. Im just excited to get racing - the competition, Ive missed it. Just twice in the last six years has the winner of the Australian GP gone on to win the world championship, so while keen to stand atop the podium again at Albert Park, Hamilton knows it is not vital.Getting off to a good start is always a good thing, but as you saw in previous years catching up is hard but it is not impossible, he said.I think that journey in itself was strengthening. You never know how the season is going to go. I think Ferrari are going to be strong - we dont know how quick they are going to be. I think that is what is going to be so exciting for people to tune in. I am keen myself to watch it unravel and be a part of it.It is easy to sit here and say II feel fit, I feel ready, but when you get there and in the deep end, you dont know if you are going to sink or if you are going to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.dddddddddddd Hamilton could become the most successful British F1 driver if he wins a fourth world title this year, but the Mercedes driver is only interested in emulating his hero.That is not a motivation for me. Its cool, but I never set out to be the most successful British driver of all time, I set out to be what Ayrton Senna did, because that is what was most important for me, he said. But I am proud to be British and I hope I can continue to raise the flag proudly for them on the number one step and do them proud as their current number one fighter.I will continue to do so for as long as I have my youth and Im still good at it.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.
