Sebastian Vettel believes the first corner collision between himself, Max Verstappen and championship leader Nico Rosberg was a racing incident.Vettel got a run up the inside of the Red Bulls from fifth and dived down the inside of Verstappen heading into Turn 1, but ended up misjudging his braking and tagging Rosberg in the process. The contact sent Rosberg into a spin and forced Vettel into retirement with a broken front left suspension. The four-time world champion defended himself against Verstappens claim over team radio that the move was crazy.If anything I was braking at the same point as him, the German said. So I was going side-by-side, he was squeezing me down to the inside. I think both of us would make the corner not a problem.Obviously Nico decided to do a different line -- he is ahead -- hes got nothing to do with it, he doesnt have to bother with what people are doing behind. I think theres two things that are wrong; first that Nico without any blame, gets turned around and second that I am standing here and the race is still going on.Asked who he thought was at fault for the incident, Vettel refused to apportion blame on either driver and said he was simply focused on making the corner cleanly.Well racing him is moving around, I think everybody knows by now. Obviously if you are squeezed to the inside, your angle doesnt get any better for Turn 1. It was quite bad the angle, so I was trying to do everything to turn and get the corner, I do get the corner no problem, Im not braking massively too late or at all too late. Nico tries to cut back I guess, to fight Lewis, but at that point we made contact.Vettel will face a post-race investigation for his part in the clash. Harold Carmichael Youth Jersey .

MOSCOW -- Russia is confident that most of its Olympic team will be able to compete in Rio de Janeiro, but the countrys efforts to reinstate banned athletes are a mixed bag.Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko on Friday told local media that 272 of the countrys athletes had been approved by international sports federations, out of an original team of 387. Mutko added that the number could rise.More than 100 Russian athletes have been excluded by sports federations, including a blanket ban on the track and field team and more than 30 rejected under new International Olympic Committee rules.After the World Anti-Doping Agency accused the Russian government of directing a vast doping cover-up, the IOC said it would not allow Russians to compete in Rio if they had previously been banned for doping, were implicated in the alleged cover-up or had not been tested often enough internationally.Most federations have not excluded Russians on the basis of a lack of testing, but rowing is the exception, having barred 19 Russians, most for insufficient tests. Testing in Russia does not count under IOC rules because of the repeated allegations made against Russias drug testing agency and national lab, both of which have been suspended.An appeal is being prepared against World Rowings decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Russian Rowing Federation head Veniamin But told The Associated Press.dddddddddddd That could send the 19 to Rio days before the Games start, if the case is heard and approved in time.Theyre now in Portugal, But said. Theyre training, and theyre ready to go.World Rowings approval process left just six rowers eligible to compete for Rio, meaning Russia could compete in only one event, the mens four. Reserve crews from around the world have rushed to Brazil to compete.There was good news for Russia on Friday, when the Russian Taekwondo Union said it had received notification from the World Taekwondo Federation that all three of its entries could compete in Rio.However, Russias best-known track and field athlete, two-time Olympic gold medalist Yelena Isinbayeva, said she had been refused in her final attempt to make the team for Rio following the blanket ban on Russia in that sport.Isinbayeva had applied again for an individual exemption but was refused by the IAAF, tracks world governing body.Unfortunately they didnt make an exception for me, she wrote on Instagram. They didnt admit me for the Olympics in Rio. The miracle didnt happen. ' ' '
