Lewis Hamilton insists championship leader Nico Rosberg has not changed this season. Ryquell Armstead Jersey . And Hamilton has implied he would be ahead of Rosberg had his car not suffered frequent unreliabilty his year.For the first time in their four year Mercedes partnership - and indeed their karting careers as youngsters - Rosberg has held a near season-long advantage over his team-mate, winning nine races to Hamiltons seven in 2016. 26 points ahead with just three races remaining, the German can seal a maiden title at this weekends Mexican Grand Prix and appears to have improved and matured as a driver, rarely making mistakes on his way to emphatic victories.Lewis: I relish the toughest challengesBut Hamilton, who beat Rosberg to the title in both 2014 and 2015, was adamant that the only difference in their battle this year was that he has been the unlucky party.Asked whether there had been a change in Rosbergs character, the world champion replied: Nope, but Ive had a lot of failures. Thats the only difference.If both our cars had been reliable all year long we would have been having pretty much the same battles we had last year and the year before, so I dont see there being any difference. Lewis Hamilton says hes just focusing on himself and not teammate Nico Rosberg ahead of this weekends Mexican Grand Prix. Hamilton claimed his title hopes would be over should he face any more gearbox or engine failures in the final three races of the season, in which he has suffered multiple mechanical glitches.Rosberg, meanwhile, has stuck to his mantra of taking one race at a time despite closing in on glory, not going further than admitting its a childhood dream to win the world championship in Thursdays press conference.Whens the Mexican GP on Sky F1?Thats obviously a tactic hes taken on board this year that helps him focus on the job at hand, said Hamilton. Different people have different ways of dealing with pressure, obviously there is pressure there, and thats the way hes handling it.But can Hamilton, who won his first championship in 2008, empathise with how much pressure Rosberg is now under?Im pretty sure its the same as going for any other world championship, Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQs Craig Slater. Hes doing the job that he needs to do. I have know idea what hes thinking and whats in his mind, and I cant really get tangled up in that because it doesnt really matter to me. Sky Sports F1s Ted Kravitz and David Croft step into the ring to settle their debate on who will win this years drivers championship. The season is heading into a frantic finish, starting in Mexico City, with Hamilton sure he needs to find his best-ever form and win all three races to stand a chance of denying his team-mate in a dramatic turnaround.But unlike in previous years, the Mercedes duo have been much more respectful each other both before and after a grand prix. And Rosberg admitted that while the relationship remains intense thanks to the successive title battles, it has improved a lot.Of course its intense, Hamilton said.

LOUIS -- St. Its pretty safe to say that as soon as Kris Jenkins 3-pointer made Villanova a national champion, somebody predicted what the 2017 NCAA Tournament bracket would look like.Waiting until the start of the season doesnt seem to be too smart of an idea either, but what the heck? Heres one mans early predictions for March Madness, which is four months and approximately 10,500 games away.This wont be a line-by-line breakdown, but rather a cut-and-run look at what might happen.EARLY ROUNDS: The first question always is, will a 16 seed beat a No. 1 for the first time? Not this season. There just doesnt seem to be any champions from the low Division I conferences that can pull the monumental upset. Watch Texas Southern of the Southwestern Athletic Conference be the one that scares a tournament favorite.There has to be a No. 12 beating a 5 (its not in the rule book, but close) and this years dandy dozen will be Princeton. The Tigers are a veteran team that should emerge from the Ivy League and then ruin the tournament for a possible 5 seed like Rhode Island. The other could be No. 12 Belmont of the Ohio Valley Conference against a Big 12 team like Texas.For those fans of close seedings, the 8-9 games are always entertaining and usually close. Four 8-9 winners could be Notre Dame, Iowa State, San Diego State and Colorado.Of those four winners, watch for Notre Dame and Iowa State to knock off No. 1 seeds Kansas and Villanovva, meaning no repeat champion. Taj McGowan Jersey. REGIONAL ROUNDS: Having sent two No. 1s home early, it will be Duke and North Carolina carrying on the mantle for the favorites.The No. 2 seeds in Kansas and Villanovas brackets are Oregon and Kentucky and they move on to the regional finals where they both lose, the Ducks to West Virginia and the Wildcats to Louisville in the most-hyped game of the tournament and one that is the epitome of an intrastate rivalry.Duke and North Carolina knock off No. 4 seeds UCLA and Michigan State to reach the Final Four as No. 1 seeds.Its Wisconsin and Virginia moving on to the Final Four with the wins over Oregon and Kentucky.FINAL FOUR: Despite the pleas of many, the Final Four will be held in Glendale, Arizona, rather than moving it to Tobacco Road for the Blue Devils against the Tar Heels. Virginia, which gives the Atlantic Coast Conference three teams in the national semifinals, beats Wisconsin in a defensive battle. Duke finds a way to beat the Tar Heels, with the freshmen playing a huge role for Mike Krzyzewski.An all-ACC matchup between Duke and Virginia goes to the Blue Devils, title No. 7 for Coach K.DISCLAIMER: Everything listed above is just a guess unless it really happens; then it was a well-thought out selection based on extensive knowledge.
