Haas driver Romain Grosjean thinks Formula Ones new American owners could be important in improving broadcasting and taking the sport to a whole new generation of fans.Last week John Malones Liberty Media announced it has?agreed to purchase a controlling stake in F1 in a deal worth $6.4 billion. The group has already outlined five key objectives for F1, including promotion and marketing of F1 as a sport and brand and enhancing the distribution of the content beyond the existing formats.Liberty is also expected to use its experience and expertise from American sport to improve fan engagement in F1 and Grosjean thinks its important the new owners change the perception of the sport.When asked if the new owners could bring a new era in fan engagement, he replied: It could ... People that dont know F1 dont think it is a sport. You drive a car... it is Gs [forces], it is temperature and so on, but it is hard to translate it on TV.With new technologies to show that the drivers are having a tough time in the car, people will try to follow more. With all the technology, the platform they have... you could get fan engagement through every social media platform we have today.Grosjean believes it is important to emphasise how difficult it is to be an F1 driver, something he does not think is appreciated in the wider sporting world.[Showing driver heartrate] could be fun. They do it in Tour de France with some of the riders. How many kilos you need to put on the brake pedal to stop the car... the Gs is great but for someone that doesnt know what 5Gs in the braking, what does it mean?It is the same as downhill skiing... if you go to Kitzbuhel and you see the slope you say f---, this is not f---ing around! It is hard to show it on TV.As part of Americas first F1 team since 1986, Grosjean thinks the future success of Haas could be instrumental in determining how perceptions of the sport change.I think [American owners] is pretty cool. Americans know how to produce a good show if you look at Superbowl or NASCAR, I think for the audience it is something we can improve. A second GP in the US, maybe in the West Coast would be good.It is so hard to follow what is going on in F1 because most of the races are 3am or 4am so it is difficult to follow the race live. If Haas becomes more successful then people will start to follow more and it could be a great thing ... I think it is great for F1, it is such a big market, so having them in F1 is a great thing.

The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season.

Adidas Continental 80 Dames . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Adidas Continental 80 Heren . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. The road to Worlds has officially begun, following Saturdays group draw at the League Championship Series Studios in Los Angeles.Legends of the game, including Chen MiSTakE Hui Chung of Taiwan, Gao WeiXiao Xuecheng of China, Kang Cpt Jack Hyung-woo of South Korea and William scarra Li of North America, drew the pingpong balls to see where each team would end up in one of the four opening-round groups. Key matchups in the first round include NAs champion Team SoloMid going up against Chinas runner-up Royal Never Give Up in Group D and a clash of champions in Group A between ROX Tigers of South Korea versus Europes G2 Esports.So, with the groups in place and three weeks before the opening festivities begin in San Francisco, lets take our first early-but-not-too-early looks at the four groups of Worlds. Well list all four teams in each group, as well as the pool and region they came from, and then our impressions of who did and didnt get lucky in the draw.Group AROX Tigers (Pool 1, Korea) G2 Esports (Pool 2, Europe) Counter Logic Gaming (Pool 2, North America) Albus Nox Luna (Pool 3, CIS)Who won: G2 EsportsWhen G2 took a nice two-week quasi-break in Shanghai in May, it appeared as though it would come back to bite them later on in the year. G2 Esports fell face-first out of the group stages at the Mid-Season Invitational and lost Europes Pool 1 seed going into the group draw. This could have spelled doom for G2, as it picked up another title in Europes LCS this summer in an array of different group possibilities, but it didnt happen. Not only did G2 upgrade its bottom lane during its vacation, with Origens star bottom lane pairing of Jesper Zven Svenningsen and Alfonso Mithy Aguirre Rodriguez, but the team also was able to make changes it might not have been able to if the same starting five had gotten a top result at MSI.Looking at the group, G2 should be heavy favorites to get off of the ground in the second-place position behind the ROX Tigers. Luna is an interesting team out of the CIS, and CLG is always better when counted out; however, in terms of a draw, G2 couldnt ask for much better.Group BFlash Wolves (Pool 1, Taiwan) SK Telecom T1 (Pool 2, Korea) I May (Pool 2, China) Cloud9 (Pool 3, North America)Who somewhat won: Flash Wolves, SKT T1, Cloud9Although many observers?are already pegging this group as smooth sailing for SK Telecom T1, I havent forgotten how well the Flash Wolves handled T1 in the MSI group stages. As weird as it sounds, the Flash Wolves simply play better when forced to play a high-level Korean team like the Tigers or T1; the Taiwanese summer champions swept the Worlds runners-up Tigers in last years Worlds group stage, and it was the only team to have a winning record against SKT at this years MSI. Flash Wolves might be the only team in the competition that plays better against top Korean teams than ones from North America.SKT T1 will feel comfortable in this group -- and with good reason -- but the lack of a stable jungler could hurt it in the fast-paced opening rounds if neither Kang Blank Sun-gu or Bae bengi Seong-woong are up to the task. While on paper a slam dunk for SKT T1, this could turn out to be a much more competitive group than expected.For C9, as a Pool 3 seed, this is one of the best groups it could have been drawn into. I think the currently in-form C9 matches up well with the Wolves, and a single win versus SKT T1 in the group stages could be enough to get C9 through if it plays up to the level its been showing in the North American Regionals. Its Jung Impact Eon-yeongs job to show Lee Duke Ho-seong how a world champpion SKT T1 top laner truly plays.ddddddddddddWho lost: I MayThis is not a good group for I May to be dropped into, with Shek AmazingJ Wai Ho needing to find success against the likes of Duke and Impact. I wouldnt write IM completely off after seeing its miracle run to the World Championships, but like last years Cinderella -- which was, coincidentally enough, C9 -- the pristine carriage always turns into a pumpkin sooner rather than later.Group CEDward Gaming (Pool 1, China) AHQ Esports Club (Pool 2, Taiwan) H2k Gaming (Pool 2, Europe) INTZ E-Sports (Pool 3, Brazil)Who won: EDward Gaming and a lucky +1This group is tailor-made for EDG to get out in first place with at most one loss to its name going into the quarterfinals. The team is in great shape coming out of a nearly flawless summer split, and it shouldnt feel too much pressure from any of the three teams below it. No Korean teams, a weakened AHQ that EDG historically dominates and a wild-card region club -- all in all, this was the best draw EDG could have asked for. The only setback is if it the Chinese champ becomes too complacent from a triumphant opening round and ripe for another first round bracket upset, like the past two years.As for who comes in second, H2k is the team I have penciled in advancing with EDG, but every team in the group behind EDG should feel like it has a shot of making it out if the next three weeks of training go well. INTZ will look to be the first wild-card team to ever make the top eight, and AHQ wants to make it back to the top eight for a second straight season with the same starting five as 2015.Group DTeam SoloMid (Pool 1, North America) Royal Never Give Up (Pool 2, China) Samsung Galaxy (Pool 2, Korea) Splyce (Pool 3, Europe)Who lost: EveryoneNo team is going to be too thrilled to see its opponents in Group D. All four teams could have gotten a much easier draw to make the quarterfinals, and at least one team that expected to go far in this tournament wont be advancing.TSM should still be favored as the top team to get out, but it wont be easy. RNG has a lot of weaknesses when it comes to map play, current form and team configuration, but when you have a star-studded lineup like Royal does, sometimes that doesnt matter. Its easy to say RNG will roll over -- and that might very well happen -- however, pound-for-pound, the two-time Worlds runner-up organization is the most talented team in this group. Given the way the format is set up for the first round, it only takes one splendid outplay by the likes of Jian Uzi Zi-Hao or Li xiaohu Yuan-Hao to get the snowball rolling.Samsung sits as possibly the most intriguing team in the group. It is a team that on paper lacks star power but more than makes up for it when it comes to team play and being able to capitalize on openings in the early game. It wouldnt be too surprising to see Samsung go 6-0 and clear the group with flying colors or go a disappointing 2-4 and bow out in lackluster fashion.In the depths of in Pool 3, Splyce looks up at the three giants above it and just shrugs. This is an organization that was playing in relegations last season in the European LCS. Its now at Worlds getting to play against an organization that has made the Summoners Cup Finals twice (Royal), an org that has won the Summoners Cup (Samsung) and an org that has been to every single Worlds (TSM). Sometimes, a team with nothing to lose versus three teams with higher aspirations is in the best predicament of all. ' ' '
