SUZUKA, Japan -- Nico Rosberg extended his lead in the drivers championship to 33 points with an assured victory at the Japanese Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton had to go on a recovery drive to third after a poor start.Rosberg and Hamilton started the race side by side on the front row of the grid, but Hamilton suffered wheelspin as the lights went out, dropping him to eighth place as he exited the first corner. From that point onwards Rosberg faced no real opposition for the win, while Hamilton was tasked with a battle through the field over the remaining 53 laps.A mixture of strategy, quick laps around pit stops and overtaking moved Hamilton up to third at the end of the race, but he could not find a way past Max Verstappen, who withstood pressure from the Mercedes in the final seven laps to take second place for Red Bull. Hamilton had an opportunity at the final chicane on the penultimate lap, but an aggressive defence from Verstappen forced the world champion to take to the exit road to avoid a collision.The result gives Rosberg a significant advantage in the championship and means he can finish second to Hamilton in the remaining four races (even affording one third place finish) and still win the title. The result also secured Mercedes its third consecutive constructors championship.Sebastian Vettel took fourth for Ferrari after losing third to Hamilton in the final round of pit stops, with teammate Kimi Raikkonen recovering from a five-place grid penalty to finish fifth. Malaysias race winner Daniel Ricciardo struggled throughout the race to finish sixth and lost a lot of time at his second pit stop. Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg finished seventh and eighth for Force India, with another victory over rivals Williams, which finished ninth and tenth with both drivers on a one-stop strategy.The story of the raceHamiltons poor start was his fourth of the season, following similarly slow getaways at the Australian, Bahrain and Italian Grands Prix this year. Much like his start in Monza, Hamilton appeared to suffer wheelspin as he released the clutch and it left him powerless to prevent the flood of rival cars passing on his left-hand side. A lap later he apologised to the team over the radio and following the race he admitted he made a mistake.Hamiltons recovery drive kicked into gear on lap seven as he thought better of a move on Nico Hulkenberg at 130R in order to complete a move on the inside of Turn 1 to take seventh place. He made his first pit stop on lap 14, which moved him ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Sergio Perez, who made early stops but got caught in traffic on their outlaps and lost time.On his outlap, Hamilton managed to get a better exit than Ricciardo out of Spoon corner in order to complete a passing move into 130R and gain another place.Next up was Vettel and Hamilton managed to close a 14 second gap to the Ferrari in the run up to his second pit stop. Hamilton pitted before the Ferrari and used his pace in clear air to make sure he was ahead when Vettel emerged from his own stop. Vettel opted to take on soft tyres in an attempt to reclaim the position on track, but despite sitting on the tail of the Mercedes for three laps, he was unable to make a move stick.Over the remainder of the race Hamilton set about closing the gap to Verstappen, and with seven laps remaining he was within DRS range. Verstappen ensured he got a better exit from the final chicane lap after lap to stop Hamilton attempting a move into Turn 1, but the Mercedes driver had something different in mind.In the knowledge he could carry more speed out of Spoon corner, Hamilton attempted to line up the Red Bull on the long back straight and through 130R in order to make a move on the entrance to the chicane. On the penultimate lap he got the first two parts right, but Verstappen was wise to the move and blocked the inside line as Hamilton made his lunge under braking. With the door well and truly closed, Hamilton had to take to the run off and with it his chances of securing a crucial extra three points for second place were gone.But Hamiltons fightback should not overshadow another mature and assured performance from Rosberg, who is increasingly in command in the driverss standings. With the constructors title wrapped up for another year, all eyes will be on the Mercedes drivers over the remaining four rounds as they battle it out for the 2016 title.

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.TORONTO -- Under new management, and having brought in 19 new players, Toronto FC promised to field a different team in 2013. Tougher. More resilient. Smarter. A team that opponents did not enjoy facing. BMO Field was to become a fortress. But turning around an MLS franchise synonymous with failure has proved to be like parallel parking a super-tanker. Movement is slow and painful. Thirteen games into the season, the team has eight points from a 1-7-5 record, just three points ahead of last year at the same time (1-10-2, and remember, Toronto started 2012 with a league-record nine straight losses). Toronto, which ended last season with a 14-game winless streak in league play, is currently mired in an 11-game winless stretch. The last win at BMO Field came last July, although Toronto did defeat Sporting Kansas City at the Rogers Centre in March. Its last away win was also last July. Toronto was the league doormat last year with a 5-21-8 record, resulting in the firing of first Aron Winter (after 10 games) and then Paul Mariner (in the off-season). This year, only D.C. United has a worse mark (1-9-2 heading into Sundays game with the Chicago Fire). Injuries to key players like star striker Danny Koevermans (who returned Saturday from a layoff of more than 10 months due to knee surgery) and fullback Richard Eckersley (hamstring, caused celebrating a teammates goal 10 games ago) have not helped manager Ryan Nelsens cause. Some short-term acquisitions (Julio Cesar, John Bostock, Hogan Ephraim) have not worked out. Some wonder why Toronto -- before Nelsen took over admittedly -- made a big deal out of signing veteran defender Danny Califf only to seemingly ignore him. Still, six of Torontos seven losses have come by one goal, as Nelsen often reminds reporters. The team has not been blown out. And Nelsen has proved a shrewd tactician, with some inspired substitutions, while showing himself to be a good judge of talent in identifying and promoting the likes of rookie midfielder Jonathan Osorio and newly installed holding midfielder Jeremy Hall. Lack of scoring (12 goals in 13 games) has cost Toronto and magnified defensive miscues. And Toronto has shot itself in the foot by leaking late goals, throwing away 11 points in seven games because of it. Worryingly, four of the goals came off corners and throw-ins. It should be noted that Justin Braun and Darel Russell both scored in the final six minutes to secure a 2-2 tie with visiting FC Dallas on April 6, earning Toronto a point. Entering Sunday in ninth spot in the Eastern Conference, Toronto was 11 points behind Philadelphia, which occupied the fifth and last playoff position.dddddddddddd Had Toronto held on in those seven games, it would have been tied with the Union. Heres a look at the games in question: March 30: Jose Villarreals 92nd-minute goal gives Los Angeles a 2-2 tie at BMO Field. Two points lost. Osorios first MLS goal in the 78th minute gave Toronto a 2-1 lead as the home side rallied from an early 1-0 deficit. But a poor clearance in stoppage-time led to a wonder scissors-kick goal by Villarreal. April 13: Jack McInerney 94th-minute goal gives Philadelphia a 1-1 tie at PPL Park. Two points lost. Toronto could not clear a long throw from defender Sheanon Williams. A scuffed shot landed at the feet of an unmarked McInerney, with the Toronto defence in disarray, and the Union striker made no mistake. April 20: Warren Creavalles 94th-minute goal gives the Houston Dynamo a 1-1 tie at BMO Field. Two points lost. With Houston defender Jermaine Taylor having received a red card, Hall gave Toronto a 1-0 lead with a slick move to find room for a low shot in the 58th minute. But Creavalles stoppage-time header off a teammates flick from a corner earned the Dynamo the tie. April 27: Tim Cahills 89th-minute goal gives the New York Red Bulls a 2-1 win at BMO Field. One point lost. One again, it looked like Osorio to the rescue with a goal that made it 1-1 in the 83rd minute. But Australian international Cahill restored the Red Bulls lead, heading in his second goal of the game after a failed clearance. Ashtone Morgan was victimized on the winning goal. May 4: Edson Buddles 86th-minute goal gives Colorado Rapids a 1-0 win at Dicks Sporting Goods Park. One point lost. Toronto gifted this goal as defenders Darren ODea and Logan Emory both fell on the play, leaving an unmolested Buddle to tap in a cross from the left flank. May 8: Chris Wondolowskis 81st-minute goal gives San Jose Earthquakes a 2-1 win at Buck Shaw Stadium. One point lost. Toronto went ahead through an early Justin Braun goal only to see Adam John tie it up in the 48th minute. Then Wondolowski sealed the deal off a corner, using his thigh to skillfully redirect a Walter Martinez flick-on from a corner. June 1: Jack McInerneys 91st-minute goal gives Philadelphia Union a 1-1 tie at BMO Field. Two points lost. Similar to the first game between the two. A long throw-in by Williams was headed away by Torontos Hall but only as far as McInerney, whose low shot through traffic beat Joe Bendik as three defenders rushed at the shooter. One can only wonder how a defence could leave McInerney alone, given he entered the game tied for the lead in league scoring with nine goals. ' ' '
