Lewis Hamilton insists he did nothing dangerous when trying to back teammate Nico Rosberg up into his rivals during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.With Hamilton leading the race, the Briton needed Rosberg to finish fourth or lower in order to beat him to the title. Hamilton drove slowly on a number of occasions during Sundays race in his attempts to back Rosberg into the chasing pack.The three-time world champion was repeatedly asked by his Mercedes team to pick up the pace, but ignored the instructions and continued to reduce his pace in the closing stages with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel bearing down on the Mercedes pair. Ultimately the tactic did not work, as Rosberg finished second to seal his maiden championship by five points.I dont think I did anything dangerous, I dont think I did anything unfair, Hamilton said. I was fighting for the championship, I was in the lead and I was controlling the pace. It was within the rules.We had already won the constructors so it was down to me and Nico and however they still felt they needed to make comments so we will discuss it afterwards as we always do as a team. We cant let that overshadow the fact that Nico has just won the championship and the team has dominated all year long and more than any other team in the past. We cant ignore the fact that we have had a successful year.When asked whether he found it frustrating to receive instructions from Mercedes, Hamilton replied: Not really, it wasnt really intense at the end it was pretty chilled. It might have been intense for you but not for me. For me I was in a position where I had a lot of points lost during the season and so I was out their fighting and generally never try to harm the team.Despite missing out on his fourth world title, Hamilton added he never felt in doubt of his 10th victory of the season at Yas Marina -- which moves him onto 53 career wins.I dont know why they just didnt let us race. There was never a moment that I felt that I was going to lose the race. It is a shame but it was quite clear, their thought process, I dont know what to say.

One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. SAN DIEGO -- Robbie Ray had life on his fastball and feel for his slider in the bullpen before the game and figured he was in for a fun one.I knew it was going to be a good day, Ray said.Ray struck out a career-high 13 and gave up just one hit in seven innings, pitching the Arizona Diamondbacks past the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Saturday night.He was letting it fly with better location, Arizona manager Chip Hale said.There were no hits in the game until the fifth. Arizona finished with four, and the Padres got three.Ray (7-11) overpowered the Padres until the fifth, when Patrick Kivlehan, called up from Triple-A El Paso before the game, launched a 451-foot home run for his first major league hit.One pitch with two strikes he left over the plate, Hale said. Other than that he was outstanding.Arizona used four relievers to close it out. Daniel Hudson induced three infield popups to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth and Enrique Burgos earned his first save of the season.Im just getting more confident in my stuff, said Ray, who has allowed three runs (two earned) and 12 hits in his last three starts. Im just trying to get better every time out.Ray threw 22 strikes in his first 26 pitches.It was all about fastball command, he said. It was mostly fastballs I was throwing and it was just the movement on both sides of the plate.As the game progressed, the Padres were set up to flail away at Rays deceptive slider.That kept them off my fastball, he said.The Diamondbacks scored two unearned runs, helped by a pair of throwing errors by pitcher Clayton Richard (0-3).Richard gave up two hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked three but was done in by the errant throws. Hes had a history of trouble throwing to bases.Unfortunaately not fielding my position cost us, Richard said.ddddddddddddThat definitely stings because you play to win, and to have a couple fielding plays cost you the game, thats really tough.The Padres got little help in trying to touch Ray.It was 1-all in the sixth when Phil Gosselin singled and Paul Goldschmidt walked. Rickie Weeks Jr. hit a grounder to Richard, who wheeled and threw the ball into center field, allowing a run to score.In the Arizona fifth, Welington Castillo singled and Mitch Haniger hit a comebacker that Richard also threw into center. Brandon Drury then grounded into a double play, with Castillo scoring for a 1-0 lead.Kivlehan had two of the Padres hits.Regardless of the outcome of the game, thats a pretty sweet moment, Green said of Kivlehan going deep. Guys dreamt about doing that his whole life and he hits one 450 in the big leagues. Thats really special for him.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: SS Nick Ahmed will undergo season-ending hip surgery next week.
