Another day, another story about Ross Brawns imminent F1 return doing the rounds. But this particular version of the Brawn comeback epic comes with additional weight, as the source material is Brawn himself, via an interview with the Daily Telegraph.[Being nominated as a possible future sporting or technical chief] was nice to hear from Christian [Horner], Brawn told the British newspaper. Thats how I like to be involved in the sport.I would never go back to a team. I did everything I can in a team, but I would be repeating myself. For sure, trying to help F1 in the future become a better F1 would be appealing. It would be the one thing that could be interesting. If you ask me what F1 needs, it needs a plan; a three-year and a five-year plan. My view is we havent got the ideal for creating that plan and implementing it over time.Whether or not Brawn decides to make a return to the sport that made him his fortune remains to be seen. But what is particularly interesting to note is that Brawn is -- allegedly -- being considered for a technical role by the sports incoming owners, Liberty Media.As things currently stand, sporting and technical regulations -- and the associated oversight --- are the responsibility of the FIA, the regulators and rulemakers of Formula One (and of a host of other motor sports besides). The FIA have a small stake in the F1 operating company, but there has been no suggestion from the Federation that they are expecting to hand over any of their regulatory powers when the sport changes ownership over the coming months.In fact, the FIA has been beefing up its technical department in recent years. F1 technical delegate Jo Bauer boosted the size of his team in line with the regulatory changes seen in 2014, with new staffers assigned to ensure that fuel flows were within the mandated limits, while the additional number of components to be scrutineered once engines were replaced with multi-part power units also required extra pairs of hands to ensure that scrutineering could continue to take place in a timely fashion.The FIAs technical staff also includes specialist software analysts, who -- among other things -- ensure that the standard ECUs are operating within prescribed limits, and that any engine mapping is not found to be in contravention of the rules.Also on the technical side, the forthcoming departure of Herbie Blash and the eventual retirement of Charlie Whiting has seen the FIA actively recruit experienced technical staff to work in or alongside race control to ensure that future handovers of power happen as smoothly as possible.The first such handover will see FIA Safety Delegate Laurent Mekies -- formerly chief engineer at Scuderia Toro Rosso -- take over the role of F1 deputy race director from the retiring Blash at the end of this year.But if suggestions that Brawn is to return to the F1 paddock as some sort of technical lead under the new ownership prove to be correct, it implies a seismic change in the way that the sport will be structured looking forwards.In recent years, we have seen FOM control the commercial aspect of the sport, negotiating deals with incoming circuits, providing the world broadcasting feed (and thereby shaping the narrative of each season), and securing global sponsors for Formula One. The commercial rights holder has as much input as any other stakeholder when it comes to rubber-stamping incoming regulations, but at no point has FOM had -- or needed! -- a technical chief with Brawns level of expertise or experience.Liberty Media have made no attempt to disguise their aims to turn F1 into a leaner, meaner, more profitable beast, but so far the discussion has centred on a centralised and global marketing strategy, of embracing new markets and finding different ways of ensuring that Formula One remains a profitable investment for many years to come.That Ross Brawns potential return as tech chief is being made in association with Liberty, and not with the actual regulator of the sport, suggests that there is much more in Libertys philosophy than has been dreamt of in this paddock.

Custom Soccer Jerseys Sale .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State center Michael Ojo is making a strong early season case for the Atlantic Coast Conferences most improved player.The 7-foot-1 senior from Nigeria already has a double-double and two games, including a career-high 13 points against Winthrop on Nov. 18. Coming into the season Ojos career high in rebounds was nine and he had scored in double figures just once.Ojo is averaging 6.3 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Seminoles (6-1), who face George Washington on Sunday in the BB&T Classic in Washington, D.C. Ojos modest numbers are impressive considering he is only playing 13 minutes per game.In Ojos first three seasons he averaged 1.9 points and 2.2 rebounds.Now he needs to find a way to get more playing time.If he stays out of foul trouble and stay out there longer his numbers would be crazy. The numbers hes putting up now are crazy enough, said sophomore guard Dwayne Bacon, who is leading the team in scoring (18.1). He worked so hard during the offseason because he knew it was going to be his last year.Ojo didnt play last season after tearing the meniscus in his left knee during preseason practice. Because Ojo did not play a lot of competitive basketball before arriving at Florida State (he moved to the United States in 2012 and played one season at Tennessee Temple Academy), coach Leonard Hamilton said the time on the bench allowed Ojo to develop a better understanding of the game.After last year I thought I was going to be a coach, Ojo said laughing. It was helpful being able to see from the coaches eyes because you can see the floor well from the bench. Every day I was watching films just like they do. Noww anytime someone makes a mistake or there is a lapse I am able to help out.ddddddddddddOjos other big improvement has come at the free throw line. He is making 71.4 percent of his foul shots after converting just 40.2 percent from 2013-15. Ojo has been to the line 28 times already. The most he has been to the line is 47 in 2013-14.Because Ojo couldnt practice jump shots as much while rehabbing, the one thing he could do on the court was free throws.I shoot a very good percentage in practice but was never able to take it to a game, he said. Ive been focusing more in games. I would do more running and sprints before shooting in practice so that during games when I am tired it is more muscle memory.Ojo has been getting to the line more because he has been more aggressive in the paint and drawing fouls. Hamilton said Ojo has done a better job of catching the ball in the post which has resulted in better drives near the basket.With Hamilton still trying to figure out his best playing combinations before the start of conference play on Dec. 28, Ojo and the post players have made the most of their opportunities when asked to deliver.As the Seminoles begin a stretch of four games in eight days, those opportunities could increase.Hes letting the game come to him and is much more assured of himself. I think you see that in how well he is playing, said Hamilton of Ojo.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
