JEREZ, Spain - Like father, like son.At least, that is the long-term plan for Formula One newcomer Carlos Sainz Jr., who hopes to emulate his father by becoming world champion one day.The 20-year-old Spaniard, the son of two-time rally world champion Carlos Sainz, will make his debut for the Toro Rosso team at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 15.He almost seems old compared to his teammate, the 17-year-old Max Verstappen.His father, Jos Verstappen, was a moderately successful F1 driver, competing in over 100 races and securing two podium finishes. That makes him the most successful Dutch racer ever, but his son has far loftier ambitions.Im only 17. But Ive always wanted to be a Formula One driver, and have a chance. I cant wait, the unflappable Verstappen said on Saturday at the Jerez circuit, speaking in the measured tones of a seasoned professional. Im not here to drive for 14th or 15th position. You want to be a race winner, you want to finish in the top 10 all the time and, hopefully, with some situations you can have an even better result.His father has been a big help.He knows the bad side and the good side of it, Verstappen said. Hes given me a lot of advice.So has Sainzs father, the world rally champion in 1990 and 1992 who won 26 races and secured almost 100 podiums.Because their series differ, it is not so much technical advice. Rather, Sainz says, his father has encouraged him to think big in terms of attitude, and how to become a world champion someday,Both drivers profess not to be nervous, yet, with the first race only six weeks away.Its too early to have nerves. In Melbourne there will be more, Sainz said. Now, there is more will and concentration.Toro Rosso has the youngest driver lineup in F1 history, and former champion Kimi Raikkonen — the oldest driver on the circuit at 35 — is nearly as old as Sainz and Verstappen together.But team principal Franz Tost considers their age irrelevant.To be honest I dont care what (people are) saying, he said.Verstappen has only one seasons experience racing in the European Formula Three championship — finishing third overall last year, when he won 10 of 33 races. His hiring by Toro Rosso prompted motorsport governing body FIA to ban under-18 drivers from F1 next year, and make drivers go through more development series.Sainz is considerably more experienced, having competed in the Formula Renault 3.5 series — of which he became the youngest champion last year — the European F3 circuit, and British F3 in the past three seasons.Max started racing at six years old. This is a new driver generation, Tost said. They were most of the time out on a car track, not in a school yard. Im convinced we will not have any problems.Tost cites the example of Russian driver Daniil Kvyat to further prove his point.Kvyat, who is also 20 and came through Toro Rossos racing pool, has earned a lucrative move to Red Bull as a replacement for seven-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, — despite only one season of F1 experience.I do not agree with the many argumentations that our drivers are too young, Tost said. This argumentation I heard already two years ago with Kvyat, it was the same nonsense.Toro Rosso, seventh overall last year, unveiled its new STR10 car on Saturday, and Tost has set the bar high.The target is fifth place in the constructors championship which means that the drivers must be permanently in the points, an adamant-sounding Tost said. Im convinced we had a real strong package. We started quite early with this car and put in a lot of effort. Redskins Jerseys China . They actually finished with a better record in ‘07 than they did in ‘06 but only marginally, going from 61 victories to 66. Clinton Portis Jersey . -- When the Los Angeles Kings are on top of their formidable defensive game, they revel in the silence they can create in a frustrated road arena. http://www.cheapredskinsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-sean-taylor-jersey .

On July 27 cyclings best-known race will host "La Course by Le Tour de France" -- a one-day womens competition staged hours before Tour riders race on the same circuit to finish the three-week event on Paris Champs-Elysees. Sammy Baugh Jersey . Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon; a brief, poor outing that served to highlight two trends that have developed this season.So the Indianapolis Colts have now created victories over the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. Given the inability of Jacksonville, the inconsistency of Tennessee and the injuries of Houston, the AFC South is under control by the Colts going into almost the mid-point of the 2013 season. I thought Sunday nights game would have been a robotic win by Denver. You know, one of those games that remains close for a while and then Peyton Manning figures it out to win by 10. What I didnt anticipate was how well the defensive backs would play for the Colts and how exceptional the coverage would be by Vontae Davis, LaRon Landry, Darius Butler and Antoine Bethea. If there was a group that rose to the challenge of covering three excellent receivers it was the Colts defensive backs. It was also noticeable that as the game progressed both Ryan Clady and Orlando Franklin as pass protecting offensive tackles are as important as any players on the Broncos. It was just a matter of time before Robert Mathis had his way. What is the difference between Manning and Andrew Luck? The way I see it, not much. Mannings experience is greater but Luck will run effectively at any point of a game and the three runs he had made an impact that the Broncos could not defend. Week 7 will go down as the injury week of 2013 and I hope it is not repeated. First, Brian Cushing with the Texans, broken leg and knee damage on a perfectly legal block by Jamaal Charles in Kansas City. Some may ask why Charles didnt stay up high, why did he cut him on the line of scrimmage? If he had stayed high Cushing would have picked up Charles and thrown him on top of quarterback Case Keenum. It was a complete physical mismatch and Charles had no choice. In Chicago both Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs are gone with groin and shoulder injuries for weeks but not the season. I thought Marc Trestman did an exceptional job of explaining the loss against Washington, the details of the injuries and turning it into an optimistic opportunity for the Bears. Trestman is impressive. It has nothing to do with his CFL background but everything to do with his ability to articulate and communicate. In watching his Monday press conference he conducts himself as a pro in many clear ways. An NFL coach does not have to represent himself with professional class the way Trestman did with the Chicago media. There is nothing in their contract that says they must. Many if not all detest the Monday morning or afternoon "state of the team" address but do it anyway. Many if not all look at the media as a necessary evil, not a tool to be used. After watching the post-Chicago press conference I know exactly what is going on with the Bears heading into the bye week because the head coach told me directly. Not to be forgotten, Doug Martin is out for maybe the season in Tampa Bay, Sam Bradford is out for the year in St Louis, Reggie Wayne is done for 2013 with the Coltts, Jermichael Finley could be done in Green Bay, Nick Foles, concussion with the Eagles in the Dallas game.dddddddddddd Have I missed any? Week 7 in NFL football was brutal. How about the Buffalo Bills? After an overtime loss to Cincinnati they win in Miami and win convincingly. I dont know if Thad Lewis is a 16-game starter but he has fulfilled his role as a quarterback now for two weeks in a row. Mario Williams is becoming the Mario Williams of his Houston Texan days and yes, he is earning his big paydays. Pressure to perform is one thing, pressure to perform when everyone knows how much money you make is another type of pressure. But the Bills duo of Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller are making the team competitive in the AFC North. Jackson, 386 yards, Spiller 362 yards. You add them up and you have a running game after seven weeks that had 748 yards and as a team the Bills average 141 rushing yards a game. That is the good news. Bad news? They play in New Orleans against a Saints team that is coming off the bye. In Kansas City the Chiefs are 7-0 and dont have their bye week until the second week in November. The schedule has been good to them and Alex Smith continues to be nothing more than himself. Conservative, smart and confident. Andy Reid has found the perfect quarterback for Andy Reid. I was mildly shocked when I heard that as a starter Smith is 26-5-1. That is as good as anyone in the quarterback business. The Chiefs have exceptional individual talent that now is being coordinated. Two good running backs, two good pass rushing defensive ends and two good cornerbacks. The secret to their success? On third down the Chiefs run exceptionally well-executed blitz packages. Well designed and well run because they have the aggressive athletes to run them. In Cincinnati the Bengals are winning the close games. Two weeks ago, they prevailed 27-24 over Buffalo in overtime and Andy Dalton threw for 300 yards plus. Last week, in Detroit, another 27-24 win on a last play field goal as Dalton thew for 300 plus once again. When this season is over the Bengals could finish first in the AFC North and the last two close wins are why. They did lose cornerback Leon Hall for the season (achilles) so someone else has to step up at one of footballs toughest positions. And finally, the New York Giants are now 1-6 and on their way! Just kidding. This will be a tough season for the Giants as the Jets are now "the" football team in New York. Opening drive on Monday Night Football. Giants run 16 plays, go approximately 80 yards, take an amazing nine-and-a-half minutes off the clock and...kick a field goal. Kind of sums up the season so far in New York with the Giants. Looking ahead, here are the best two games of Week 8. Dallas at Detroit as the Cowboys control the NFC East, and the Jets at the Bengals. One was expected to be on top of their division - the Bengals - while the other continues to improve, Jets.
