Ross Brawn has revealed he was turned down a rule-making role in Formula One, something he calls the least attractive part of the sport due to the politics and short-term thinking of those in charge. Keith Osborne Jersey .F1 legend Brawn helped orchestrate Ferraris dominance in the early 2000s and also won titles with Benetton and his own team in 2009. Since leaving Mercedes in 2013 -- something he put down to a lack of trust in Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff -- Brawn has been regularly linked to a position of power within the sport but says he is not interested in getting embroiled in F1s politics.Ive been invited to become involved in Formula One again and help perhaps shape the regulations or help shape the future of Formula One, he wrote in his new book Total Competition. And that invitation is to get involved in the politics of Formula One, because that is what its all about.If someone said, do you want to come back and do a bit of engineering? I could be tempted. But to have to deal with all the politics of Formula One, that was probably the side I enjoyed least of what I did. And therefore the side that is least attractive to me. It is probably the arena I am least comfortable with in Formula One.Brawn thinks F1 suffers from short-term thinking which sees rule-makers looking for quick solutions rather than considering the bigger picture.Where Formula One has struggled is in the short-term thinking. I was approached by someone from within the sport to give some views on where Formula One might go.I set out my thoughts and I gave my views and they said, Yes but thats three years away. We need a solution now. I said There isnt a solution now. The inertia of Formula One is such that you will be sat here in three years time and not having moved forward.You want a short-term answer to something that doesnt have a short-term answer. But three years will be upon you before you know it. That was two years ago.Total Competition: Lessons in strategy from Formula One, written by Brawn and Adam Parr, is published by Simon & Schuster on November 3. Bob Plager Jersey .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Wayne Gretzky Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.  Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review?  Why was this overturned?  James Veaudry Pembroke, ON --  Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. https://www.cheapblues.com/314z-brendan-shanahan-jersey-blues.html . According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. ST. LOUIS -- There was no sugarcoating it. Defense, perhaps the St. Louis Cardinals biggest shortcoming all season, let them down again.Manager Mike Matheny cited the non-plays as much as the lone error that led to the tying run in a 7-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday night.Whenever we had one, it hurt us, Matheny said. Just one of those days I know just about every decision I went to didnt seem to work, and that doesnt help.The Cardinals came out of the All-Star break with a major league-leading 68 errors and reliever Kevin Siegrists wild pickoff throw trying to catch 42-year-old Ichiro Suzuki napping in the eighth inning was the 69th.Two other plays were just as costly.Matt Holliday, getting his sixth start at first base, couldnt handle a long hop on a potential double play ball in the fourth that led to a run. Center fielder Randal Grichuk came in and couldnt retreat in time to harness Marcell Ozunas double in the ninth that led to the winning run.I felt like I had a good bead on it and I kind of had it and it just kind of tilted away, Grichuk said.Matheny gave Holliday, a career left fielder before this season, the benefit of the doubt, for the missed play in the fourth.No matter how much work he gets, its tough to prepare for, he said. Hes going to get better the more time we get him out there, but there is going to be a learning curve.Suzuki had a pinch-single in the eighth for his 2,991st career hit and scored to tie it and Miguel Rojas drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth in the Marlins fourth straight victory.Tommy Pham had two of the Cardinals four homers and drove in four runs. Stephen Piscotty and Grichuk also connected for St. Louis, which hit two each off Wei-Yin Chen and reliever David Phelps.Its just tough to be on this side of the equation when you had a good night like I did, Pham said. Of his curtain call after a three-run shot in the fourth, he said, Its horrible now. Doug Gilmour Jersey. The hit was the first since July 4 for the 42-year-old Suzuki. Hes had just seven pinch-hit appearances and one start this month with the Marlins, who have a steady outfield rotation of Christian Yelich, Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton.The Cardinals blew leads of 4-1 and 6-5 to fall to 19-27 at home, and are 27-16 record on the road. They were 55-26 at home last year, tied for best in the majors.Its incredible, I dont understand whats going on, Grichuk said. Weve got a great ballpark here, weve got a great fan base -- they bring it every night -- and its one of those things.Chen has surrendered 19 homers, among the league leaders. Phelps had given up just two in 46 innings but the bullpen rallied with Fernando Rodney (1-2) working a perfect eighth and A.J. Ramos earning his 28th save in 29 chances.Seung Hwan Oh (2-1), the Cardinals stand-in closer, lost on his 34th birthday.Suzuki singled off Siegrist with one out in the eighth and scored on Martin Prados two-out hit off Jonathan Broxton.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: 1B-OF Brandon Moss (ankle) is eligible to come off the DL on Saturday but is still in a walking boot.UMPIRE DOWNThe umpiring crew worked a man short after plate ump Chad Fairchild took a foul off his right forearm in the bottom of the first. Jim Joyce went from first base to home.HAPPY BIRTHDAYLong-time Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon worked the booth on his 77th birthday.UP NEXTMarlins: Tom Koehler is 1-2 with a 7.56 ERA in three career starts against the Cardinals.Cardinals: Adam Wainwright (8-5, 4.49) is 50-28 with a 3.05 ERA for his career after the break.
