BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Nico Rosberg of Mercedes posted by far the fastest lap during the second practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday.Teammate Lewis Hamilton was unhurt after crashing sideways into a barrier of rubber tires, Mercedes said. Hamilton was able to drive the car back to the pit lane and later returned to the team garage after a medical checkup.Mercedes said Hamiltons car would be fully stripped to be checked out, but jokingly noted it appears to bounce rather well.Hamilton, who set the pace in the morning practice, also had the fastest time before crashing at turn 11, about 13 minutes into the afternoon session. Rosberg quickly bettered Hamiltons mark with a time of 1 minute, 20.435 seconds, the only driver below 1:21.It was an impressive day for us, performance-wise, Rosberg said. That doesnt necessarily mean well be in such a strong position tomorrow but its very positive. The car is very quick, so a good start to the weekend.Rosbergs time was already 1.585 seconds faster than last years top qualifying time, achieved by Hamilton.Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo was second, 0.595 behind the championship leader, with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel, the 2015 Hungaroring winner, finishing third.We are more or less where we expected to be, Ricciardo said. We knew it would be close with Ferrari, so if we can keep our nose in front that would be nice.Max Verstappen of Red Bull was fourth and Hamilton, despite completing only four laps before his accident, was fifth.Lewis was caught out by one of the new, unpainted kerbs ... resulting in quite a heavy impact with the barriers, said Paddy Lowe, the technical executive director for Mercedes. The most important thing is that Lewis was unharmed despite the impact. There has been some damage to suspension and a few bodywork elements -- but this will be easily fixed overnight.The Hungaroring is sporting a repaved track and pit lane while several kerbs have been added or upgraded, with track length remaining at 4.38 kilometers (2.72 miles).Veteran drivers like Hamilton and Vettel did not appear keen on the changes before the practice sessions. By late Friday, however, most concerns seemed to have dissipated, Hamiltons mishap notwithstanding.The new track surface isnt massively different, said Ricciardo, who won here in 2014. I was a little bit worried it would lose some of its character, but I think its still much the same.Team officials were also taking the changes in stride and even attributed the faster times to the new setup.We were pleasantly surprised. The track is quite smooth, the kerbs are quite good, said Pat Symonds, chief technical officer with Williams. Were pretty happy with the work thats been done.Symonds added that while there had been talk of blistering in the tires during a European F3 race on the Hungaroring in April on the changed track, even the super-soft tires held up very well today.Ferrari senior engineer Jock Clear said his team had enjoyed reasonably comfortable practice sessions with the tires.We had some fears and theyve not really been founded today, Clear said. The kerbs are smoother ... certainly the kerbs are making a difference on lap time.At the same time, teams did complain about the longest-ever season of 21 races, including a globe-hopping stretch of six races in eight weeks at the end.Williams Symonds said 20 races had been considered the tipping point just a few years back and that employees were starting to prefer staying at team headquarters because of the race schedules toll on family life.I think were way past the tipping point, Symonds said. We cannot ask our personnel to maintain the level of activity. Therefore, were going to look at rotation.Clear agreed with Symonds, saying that people are just very tired and the sport did not have the luxury of using substitutes.Rosberg has 168 points halfway through the season, one point ahead of two-time defending world champion Hamilton. Mercedes has won nine of the first 10 races this season and 41 of the last 48.---Karel Janicek contributed to this report.Cheap Air Jordan 3 Wholesale .

Air Jordan 3 Discount .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center.A class-action lawsuit was filed Thursday against the NFL and Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, for the cancellation of the Hall of Fame game this past Sunday because of poor field conditions.The lawsuit, which was filed at the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division, seeks more than $5 million in damages from the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Plaintiffs Alan Biland (from Wisconsin), Matthew Crabb (Indiana), Tiffany Ratcliff (Virginia), and Carmelo Treviso (Wisconsin) filed the suit to recover damages owed to themselves and others similarly situated. They are represented by attorney Michael Avenatti, who represented ticket holders for the 2011 Super Bowl who wound up without seats in Dallas and ultimately were placed in temporary seating that had obstructed views.The plaintiffs are requesting a jury trial.The lawsuit states that the NFL has a history of mismanaging the stadiums where its games are held, citing Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.It states that like the 2011 situation in Dallas, several fans attending Sundays game were displaced from their seats due to incomplete installation of temporary seats, which were deemed unsafe and unusable by the local fire marshal.The suit notes that the playing surface at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium has previously caused problems and cites the career-ending injury suffered by former Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham in the 2015 game.It alleges that decking that was put on the field for an Aug. 5 Tim McGraw concert and then the Aug. 6 Hall of Fame induction ceremonies was supposed to be removed from the field by 8 a.dddddddddddd.m. on Sunday but wasnt actually removed until 2:45 p.m.It also alleges that even as it became clear that the game would not be played, defendants continued to maintain a facade of normality for fans and the general public, including a countdown clock on the scoreboard. Because of that, fans continued to purchase food and souvenirs as they waited for the game to start.The plaintiffs note NFL executive Troy Vincents memo to teams in which he wrote ultimately I am accountable for ensuring the field is of the highest standard and Colts owner Jim Irsays comments Sunday after the game was canceled as NFL officials purporting to admit responsibility.The game between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts was canceled after paint congealed and hardened on portions of the field.Avenatti told The Associated Press earlier this week that the Halls plan to only refund ticket prices was far too little. He cited greed for that and blamed the NFL far more than he did the Hall of Fame.They could have offered what these fans paid for the tickets and to reimburse them for any expenses incurred that could be proven, he said. The league has a history of being cheap with its fans.The lawsuit over the Dallas Super Bowl began as a multimillion-dollar class action, but it was not certified and the claims were significantly pared down. Most of the plaintiffs did collect some damages and were offered replacement tickets for a future Super Bowl. ' ' '
