No se puede permitir que un problema que ya sucedió el viernes se repita de nuevo en los Libres 3 del GP de Japón. El fuego que se inicia al caer chispas de los coches en la hierba de los márgenes en Suzuka no ha sido solucionado de forma apropiada, lo que ha condicionado a muchos pilotos. Fernando Alonso ha sido uno de ellos, porque se quedó sin poder marcar tiempo con el blando final y toda la parrilla no pudo probar las salidas en una recta en bajado. Todo quedó en suspenso por una bandera roja a falta de 6 minutos para el final, en un episodio vergonzoso para la organización de una de las carreras estrella del año.
McLaren ha dominado con Norris primero, pese a tener que abortar su mejor intento con los blandos y tener que repetir, y Piastri a sólo 0.026 de su compañero. Russell es el único que resiste el empuje papaya y a partir de allí llega un escalón de más de 0,4 segundos para el Ferrari de Leclerc, Verstappen y Hamilton, aunque el inglés también se quedó sin hacer su último intento con el segundo juego de blandos.
En cuanto a los españoles, Carlos Sainz era 11º y Alonso, con la incidencia reseñada 15º con su juego inicial de medios, pues se quedó sin saber dónde puede estar su Aston para la calificación 8.00 horas),
Alex Albon fue el primero fuera de los equipos grandes con con el Williams, al encontrar una gran mejora con el blando y un rebufo de ayuda, lo que le permitió saltar hasta el séptimo. Sainz se quedó a tres décimas de su compañero, con un neumático rojo (el C3 de Pirelli este fin de semana) con el que no logra aún encontrar su máximo en velocidad y confianza. Lo dijo en Australia en el primer fin de semana y este parece seguir todo un poco parecido, aunque le encontrará solución con el paso de las sesiones. Eso es seguro.

Nuevos incendios en la hierba
Como el viernes, la primera bandera roja llegó en sólo 7 minutos, los que tardaron algunas chispas de los coches en prender la parte de la hierba que flanquea las enlazadas del primer sector. El organizador aseguraba que había cortado la hierba seca de muchas partes de la pista, pero no pareció funcionar. Un problema que con la lluvia se corregirá el domingo, pero que ha quitado muchos minutos de actividad a los pilotos, que no han podido hacer ni una tanda larga en casi todo el fin de semana. Más incertidumbre para todos y la posibilidad de sorpresas inesperadas.
El problema se repitió a falta de 6 minutos para el final, justo cuando Alonso salía con los blandos para intentar su mejor tiempo, en lo que parecía una broma de mal gusto y más en un templo como Suzuka y habiendo tenido un día para solucionarlo.
Piastri y Leclerc, de inicio
Dominaban McLaren y Ferrari con los blandos, mientras por detrás la variedad de neumáticos era total. Tsunoda era el mejor con los duros y Alonso era octavo con el medio, en lo que parecía un buen tiempo con ese compuesto. Sainz era 17º con el duro en una larga tanda inicial, con cambios de reglaje variados en el Williams.
Los tiempos tras la tanda inicial de FP3
Ferrari parece estar un poco por debajo de McLaren, con el Mercedes realmente muy cerca, pero eso puede cambiar para la calificación.

NFL Week 5 Team of the Week: Rico Dowdle Fills In and Shines on Sunday
<!--> [--> Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> --> Each week, we’ll offer up the very best of the NFL for a given week, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.We’ll pick one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end – OK, this is sounding a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team – as a way to look back on the weekend that was.We have a familiar face that stood out at wide receiver, and another return performer at running back. Let's break it down.Pretty strong week for quarterbacks, with five guys throwing 3+ touchdowns without an interception.

Tensions rise in the WNBA as Napheesa Collier, Caitlin Clark, and Cathy Engelbert clash over leadership
The WNBA has seen its fair share of disputes, but recent tensions between star forward Napheesa Collier and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert may represent a pivotal moment in the league's evolution. Collier, Vice President of the WNBPA Executive Committee, didn't hold back in her postseason exit interview, accusing Engelbert of tone-deaf leadership and alleging behind-the-scenes comments that have ignited league-wide controversy.Engelbert's alleged "be grateful" remark sparks outrageCollier claimed Engelbert had said Caitlin Clark should be "grateful" for earning millions in endorsements, crediting the WNBA for giving her a platform. If true, the comment would suggest a dismissive view of Clark's individual marketability and a broader lack of appreciation for the athletes driving the league's current success. Engelbert has denied making such a statement, calling Collier's claims inaccurate in a press conference before the WNBA Finals.What followed has only deepened the divide. […]

Jacory ‘Bill’ Croskey-Merritt Runs Away With LFG Player of the Game vs. Chargers
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had a big day in the Washington Commanders' 27-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he's remaining humble amid his breakout.The Commanders' rookie running back took home Tom Brady's LFG Player of the Game with his 111-yard rushing performance on Sunday, adding multiple touchdowns in Washington's victory. Croskey-Merritt was also efficient with his carries, going for 7.9 yards per pop and adding 39 receiving yards.As Croskey-Merritt had nearly 10 yards per touch on Sunday, it might seem hard to believe that he was just a seventh-round rookie looking to make the Commanders' roster just a couple of months ago. But Croskey-Merritt is crediting those around him for setting him up for success so early in his NFL career."It feels amazing," Croskey-Merritt told Brady of his performance on Sunday. "I'm so thankful for this organization — for believing […]
Seahawks’ defensive meltdown spoils Sam Darnold’s near-perfect day vs. Bucs: ‘It hurts’
SEATTLE — By the time the doors to the Seattle Seahawks’ locker room swung open to reporters on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field, many of the defensive backs were fully clothed and prepared to exit.Aside from a few brief side conversations, there wasn’t much to say after surrendering a season-high 379 passing yards to Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All across the locker room, guys were eager to flush Seattle’s 38-35 loss to the Bucs and exit the venue.AdvertisementThen there was Coby Bryant.The veteran safety, one of only two first-string defensive backs to start and finish the game Sunday, sat alone in his locker still draped in nearly all his game attire, minus the jersey and shoulder pads. Bryant is the type of player whose expression can often tell the story of the day, both in times of […]
