MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Lewis Hamilton claimed a comfortable pole position at the Mexican Grand Prix ahead of championship rival Nico Rosberg, who struggled initially before a last-gasp effort put him on the front row alongside his teammate for Sundays race.Hamilton looked like the quickest driver throughout the session while Rosberg struggled to feature in the top four in Q1 and Q2. Hamilton set his pole position time on his first attempt in Q3, with Rosbergs initial effort leaving him behind both Red Bulls in fourth. However, as Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen all failed to improve on their second attempts, Rosberg found 0.3s to take second place from Verstappen by 0.096s. Ricciardo took fourth on the grid, a further 0.079s adrift of his teammate.The second place start is crucial for Rosberg, who needs to finish second or third this weekend to keep the championship battle in his hands. Up until Q3 it had looked like his weakest weekend in recent memory, but his final lap maintained an impressive record of consecutive front row starts that extends back to last years Japanese Grand Prix.?The strategies of the top two teams will be split for Sundays race, with Mercedes set to start on the soft tyres after using that compound in Q2. Red Bull used the super-softs in Q2 and will start on that compound as a result, with only Ferrari following Mercedes lead of passing through Q2 on the softs.However, the Ferraris were unable to find the pace when it mattered in Q3, with Nico Hulkenberg in the Force India beating both Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel to fifth. Hulkenbergs pace had been impressive all weekend and he finished just 0.197s off Ricciardos best effort.Raikkonen is set to start sixth after a suspected engine problem in Q3, while Vettel struggled to hook all three sectors together despite showing impressive pace in sector one. The two Williams will start eighth and ninth, with Valtteri Bottas 0.481s faster than teammate Felipe Massa. Carlos Sainz rounded out the top ten with an impressive lap in the Toro Rosso.Fernando Alonso missed out on a place in Q3 by 0.113s as the two Williams, Hulkenberg and Sainz all upped their pace at the end of the second session. Alonso was 0.005s clear of home hero Sergio Perez in the Force India in 12th, who ruined his final attempt by locking a brake on entry to Turn 1. Jenson Button was 13th fastest in the second McLaren, after setting a time 0.391s off teammate Alonso, and will start ahead of Kevin Magnussen and Marcus Ericsson. Pascal Wehrlein impressed by hauling his Manor into Q2, but in doing so used all three of sets of his super-softs, leaving him with no fresh tyres to attack Q2.Esteban Gutierrez missed out on a position in Q2 at his home race by just 0.038s after spinning on his final attempt at Turn 9. He will start the race from 17th ahead of Daniil Kvyat, whose Toro Rosso experienced a technical problem during the session. Felipe Nasr was 0.630s off his Sauber teammate Marcus Ericsson and will start 19th ahead of Esteban Ocon, who was 0.518s off his Manor teammate Wehrlein. Romain Grosjean will start from the back row after struggling with his Haas throughout the weekend and complaining at length over the radio in Q1 about its balance. Only Jolyon Palmer will start behind him after a cracked chassis forced Renault to withdraw his car from the session before it started. Cheap Panthers Jerseys .

MILWAUKEE -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is returning to Los Angeles for tests on a sore back thats been bothering him for a few weeks.Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he was still hopeful Kershaw could make his next scheduled start Friday night at Dodger Stadium against Colorado.The three-time NL Cy Young winner is 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA this season. He lost his last start on Sunday in Pittsburgh, giving up four runs and nine hits in six innings.Roberts said Kershaw has been dealing on and off with a problem in his lower back.Hes not any better, so what were going to do, we decided to fly him back, Roberts said. Try to get him on a flight tonight or tomorrow first thing in the morning. Hes not pitching here in Milwaukee, so as we looked at his Friday start, to give him a couple days back home makes sense.Kershaw has been on the disabled list only once in his nine-year career, in early 2014 with a shoulder strain.Hes going to consult with the docs when he gets back to LA and well see where we go from there, Roberts saiid before Tuesday nights game at Miller Park.ddddddddddddRoberts said he did not know if any examination would include an MRI or CT scan.I think that its to get him in the doctors hands, then theyll go from there, Roberts said. I think that theyre going to do whatever they can to figure out what the problem is.Its been a few weeks where its been in and out and hes so good, it kind of started barking a little bit, so I think that right now we just want to kind of get some answers, he said.Roberts said it was not a hip problem, which Kershaw dealt with last season.Its no hip. I know its the back, to the extent of that, I know its barking and I just want to see what weve got, he said.Kershaw did not specifically ask to return to Los Angeles, Roberts said.I think it was just more of the training staff and him conferring and having discussions and feeling this was the best thing for Clayton, he said.
