SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Kimi Raikkonen put Ferrari at the top of the timesheets during final practice for the Belgian Grand Prix, beating Fridays pace setters Red Bull and Mercedes to the fastest time.Raikkonen, a four-time winner at Spa-Francorchamps, hooked up a clean lap to move ahead of Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo, who ended up 0.215s shy of the Ferrari driver. Sebastian Vettel finished third as Ferrari turned the top of the timesheets red, but the notable absence of the two Mercedes drivers and Red Bulls Max Verstappen poses more questions than answers ahead of qualifying.Lewis Hamilton set a hot lap on new super-soft tyres in the closing stages of the session, but with a back-row start hanging over him due to a 55-place grid penalty, his car is set up for race pace and not a qualifying-style lap. He ended up behind Valtteri Bottas, but a telling fastest opening sector hints at the straight-line speed the reigning world champion is hoping to carry into Spas best overtaking opportunity at Les Combes on Sunday.Nico Hulkenberg was sixth fastest ahead of the second Mercedes of Nico Rosberg, who could only manage the seventh fastest time of the session. Rosbergs lap appeared to be ruined by traffic in the first sector and his final time was 0.4s off his best effort in the opening practice session of the session, suggesting his true pace will only become apparent in qualifying.Max Verstappen suffered a gearbox problem during the session, meaning he failed to set a competitive lap time. The gearbox was newly fitted ahead of the session and a change would result in a five-place grid penalty, but team boss Christian Horner said the halt in running was just a precaution.It looks to be an electrical issue or a sensor most likely so it was precautionary, we stopped the car and took the box off just to make sure that we had plenty of time to hopefully address it before qualifying, he told Sky Sports.Asked if a penalty was likely, he added: No certainly not at the moment. At the moment its just an investigation, have a look at the sensor and then form a diagnosis from there.Up until final practice, Verstappens weekend had been looking promising and his fastest time in second practice on Friday afternoon would still have been enough to put him second, and ahead of Ricciardo, in FP3.The two Williams drivers returned to the top ten after a disappointing Friday practice and are likely to be vying for positions with the Force Indias, which finished sixth and ninth. Haas remained competitive, with Romain Grosjean sneaking into the top ten, 0.181s ahead of Fernando Alonso in the fastest McLaren.Pascal Wehrlein again looked quick, hauling his Manor up to 15th place, just behind Kevin Magnussen and ahead of the two Toro Rossos, which are down on power with their year-old Ferrari engines. Both Wehrlein and Magnussen were involved in close shaves with other drivers during the session, which could result in stewards investigations.Wehrlein came across a slow-moving Esteban Gutierrez at the top of Eau Rouge and had to swerve to avoid the Haas, later calling for the Mexican to be penalised over team radio. Magnussen was accused by Sebastian Vettel of blocking the Ferrari heading through the high-speed Blanchimont, with the four-time champion remonstrating over the radiowaves.What an idiot. Did you see that? Its called Free Practice. Free Practice. Who gives a s***?Any grid penalties that are doled out will be added to the ones of Hamilton, Alonso and Saubers Marcus Ericsson for various engine changes this weekend. Xherdan Shaqiri Liverpool Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Fabinho Jersey . Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. http://www.footballliverpoolstore.com/Women-Jordan-Henderson-Liverpool-Jersey/ . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. Rafael Camacho Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Pedro Chirivella Liverpool Jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III was so fired up watching the Americans play and win at Hazeltine that he couldnt wait to get out of his cart and get back to playing. He said one of his assistant captains, Tiger Woods, felt the same way.Both had to wait a while.Love and Woods were scheduled to play the PGA Tours season-opening event at the Safeway Open, and both withdrew. One got more attention than the other.Woods still hasnt played since August 2015. He is due to return in two weeks at his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Love waited only a few weeks before he returned at Las Vegas and tied for 41st, not a bad effort for a 52-year-old who had hip surgery in June.And then he pulled out of Mexico to make sure he was rested for the RSM Classic at Sea Island, where he is tournament host of the final event of the year.Tiger and I had the same thing happen to us, Love said. We had some momentum, and then we got so wrapped up a couple weeks in the Ryder Cup, and then we got hit by a hurricane that we didnt really get the practice schedule we were quite planning the week after the Ryder Cup.Im getting better every week, so hopefully by January, Ill be 100 percent.As for Woods?Thats still to be determined.2016 FINALE: The RSM Classic sure feels like the end. There wont be another PGA Tour event until the Tournament of Champions at Kapalua the first week of January, giving players six weeks off if they want it.On the other hand, this is only the sixth week of the new season. A tour official mentioned to defending champion Kevin Kisner that at this time a year ago, he was leading the FedEx Cup after the fall portion of the season and asked what was different.Im not leading, Kisner said. Ive only played twice. Didnt play well either place, really.THE BUSY BODIES: Peter Malnati and Spencer Levin have earned a dubious distinction in the fall portionn of the tour schedule.ddddddddddddeither of them has missed a tournament.Scott Piercy was part of that group, too, but he decided to take this week off. The difference is that Piercy has converted the full schedule into a great start to his season. He already has three top 10s and is No. 7 in the FedEx Cup.Malnati and Levin have missed two cuts and have yet to crack the top 30.THE FIELD: Matt Kuchar is the highest-ranked player at Sea Island at No. 20 in the world, and it helps that he leaves here. The only PGA Tour winner in this new season at the RSM Classic is Cody Gribble, who won in Mississippi opposite the World Golf Championship in China.Love is a big attraction, not only for his deep roots at Sea Island but as the tournament host who recently was selected for the Hall of Fame. Two other Hall-of-Famers are in the field, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els.LAST CHANCE: Although the season is still young, this is the last chance for players to qualify for the winners-only Tournament of Champions that starts the new year at Kapalua on Maui.No one feels like hes due more than Kevin Chappell. But if he wins, he wont be going to paradise.Can I ask for a rain check? Chappell said.His wife, Elizabeth, is expecting their second child in January. Chappell plans to stay home for the month of January. Even so, he would love to get that first PGA Tour victory after a season in which he finished runner-up three times -- twice to Jason Day, once to Rory McIlroy.THE COURSES: Love received the tours permission last year to use two courses at Sea Island Golf Club -- Seaside all four rounds, and Plantation the opening two rounds. That allows for a 156-man field, the largest of the fall. Two courses are required because it gets dark early this time of the year. ' ' '
