e Daniele De Rossis late penalty rescued a 1-1 draw ag | Forum

Lewis Hamilton has taken his world championship fight with Nico Rosberg to the wire by claiming his first Brazilian GP on a day of epic drama at Interlagos. Swell Fles .  Defying heavy rain, two race stoppages and five separate Safety Car deployments, Hamilton mastered the conditions to deliver an inch-perfect masterclass in the wet and finally break his Interlagos duck.This is the race I have been dreaming of winning since I was very, very young, said Hamilton. It was a hard, hard grand prix to win and today was one of the most difficult in terms of rain and aquaplaning. But Rosberg will still clinch the title in the season-concluding Abu Dhabi GP in two weeks time if he finishes on the podium after a strategic mistake by Red Bull enabled the German to finish second behind Hamilton in Sao Paulo.WATCH: What a gentleman, Lewis!Max Verstappen had charged past the world championship leader with a bold move around the outside of Turn Three but then tumbled down the field after making two extra pit-stops when Red Bull mistakenly gambled on intermediate tyres in the hope that conditions would improve. After falling out of the top 10 with just 12 laps left, the Dutchman then produced a series of stunning overtakes to finish in third and deservedly claim the Driver of the Day award. Red Bulls Max Verstappen was voted driver of the day, and after this display in the Brazilian Grand Prix, you can see why. That was one of the best drives Ive seen in Formula 1, said Red Bull boss Christian Horner. His recovery was amazing. Verstappen drive one of the best everAs chaos and crashes erupted behind him, Hamilton led every lap with a wheel-perfect performance in treacherous conditions which saw Kimi Raikkonen crash out just seconds after the race had restarted and Romain Grosjean hit the wall even before the Grand Prix had started. A few seconds after the Brazilian GP restart, Kimi Raikkonen crashed on the pit straight to bring out the red flag Hamiltons astonishing pace superiority over Rosberg was such that, had the race run to its entirety and his leads of various lengths not been regularly wiped out by the plethora of Safety Car deployments and race stoppages, he was on course to beat his team-mate to the chequered flag by over a minute.Between lap 29, when the race resumed following Raikkonens crash and lap 49, when Felipe Massa hit the wall to bring his final race in Brazil to a premature end, Hamilton had streaked 23 seconds clear of the sister Silver Arrows. During this period Rosberg nearly spun, but just managed to keep his Mercedes pointing the right way after hitting a puddle exiting the final corner.  Hamilton rues Rosbergs unbelievable luckBut, heading to Abu Dhabi with a 12-point buffer and only requiring third place to clinch the title, Rosberg remains the heavy favourite to end the year as the drivers champion.I can live with a second place, the German acknowledged. It worked out fine.Updated Drivers StandingsFurther down the field, Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz drove doggedly for sixth behind Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel while Saubers Felipe Nasr finished in ninth after a winning a race-long battle with Esteban Ocon, who eventually finished 12th. Its a result which means the Swiss outfit have climbed above Manor in the Constructors Championship. For both teams, the financial repercussions could be enormous. For the all-Mercedes world championship battle between Hamilton and Rosberg, the real significance of the result in Brazil will only become clear on November 27.  Mercedes Lewis Hamilton does the noble thing and offers one of the grid girls a team jacket to keep her warm at the Brazilian GP.

MILAN -- Roma forward Edin Dzeko has a point to prove.He wasnt the striker Roma hoped for after it signed him from Manchester City in August 2015. Last season was full of disappointment.But hes finally showing his ruthlessness, with two more goals as Roma beat Napoli 3-1 on Saturday in a top-of-the-Serie A clash.Dzeko, who also scored twice for Bosnia and Herzegovina midweek, has seven goals in eight league appearances this season -- just one less than he scored in 31 appearances in his debut Serie A campaign.He tops the scoring charts, one ahead of Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain, Inter Milans Mauro Icardi, and AC Milans Carlos Bacca.Ive had preseason with the squad, I feel good, I feel everyones confidence in me, Dzeko said when asked what had changed from last season. Im happy for myself and for the team which won a difficult match.The criticism was normal, it wasnt my best year. For that reason I wanted to do better this season and at the moment its going good.Dzeko netted his first goal two minutes from halftime when Mohamed Salah stole the ball off Kalidou Koulibaly at the byline and swung in a cross for Dzeko to volley home.He doubled his tally nine minutes after the interval, placing a header into the bottom left corner from Alessandro Florenzis free kick.Koulibaly atoned for his earlier error by rising highest at the near post to head in a corner off the opposite upright, and getting Napoli straight back into the game.But Salah sealed matters four minutes from time, beating the offside trap to race forward and fire in off the base of the left post.It was Romas first away win of the season, and the capital club leapfrogged Napoli into second spot, five points behind Juventus.Napoli is two points further back after its first league defeat at Stadio San Paolo since May 2015. It was clearly missing striker Arkadiusz Milik, who has had a great start to the season but was ruled out for six months after tearing a ligament on international duty.It was also the first time Napoli has lost two successive league matches under Maurizio Sarri.The positive thing is that the team didnt give me the feeling that they are spent and dead, Sarri said. Its clearly a difficult period but we hhave to remain calm. Swell Kopen. Napoli hosts Besiktas in the Champions League on Wednesday, a day after Juventus visits Lyon.---JUVENTUS 2, UDINESE 1In contrast to Dzeko, Paulo Dybala had a great debut season at Juventus but struggled at the start of the current campaign.However, he scored for the third successive match, in all competitions, netting twice as his side fought back from surprisingly going a goal down.Luckily I managed to score the second goal too. Im happy for myself and for the team, but we still have to improve, Dybala said.We have to think about ourselves and continue like this, without worrying about the other teams. Plus we still have to play Roma and Napoli, so well wait and see.Dybala equalized two minutes from halftime, curling a delightful free kick into the top right corner, and scored what was to prove the winner from the penalty spot in the 51st after Rodrigo De Paul tripped Alex Sandro.It was former Juventus coach Luigi Delneris first match in charge of Udinese after replacing Giuseppe Iachini during the international break.Udinese, which is one point above the relegation zone, stunned the Juventus Stadium into silence on the half-hour following a series of errors by the hosts. Hernanes failed to control a poor pass from Patrice Evra and Jakub Janktos effort slipped through Gianluigi Buffons hands.Buffon also made a rare error last week, when playing for Italy, almost costing his team the match before Daniele De Rossis late penalty rescued a 1-1 draw against Spain in their World Cup qualifier.---PESCARA 1, SAMPDORIA 1Pescara played half the match with 10 men but managed to cling on for a valuable point and could even have won had Gianluca Caprari not had a penalty saved by Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.Pescara defender Andrea Coda was sent off in the final minute of the first half following a second yellow card, with the score at 1-1 after teammate Hugo Campagnaro struck at both ends.Pescara moved a point off the relegation zone ahead of the rest of the weekends matches. Sampdoria is two points above the bottom three. ' ' '
