ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- The struggling Manor Formula One team is on the verge of a takeover after its owner said Friday that terms have been agreed with a new investor.Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, British businessman Stephen Fitzpatrick said that the team has been in discussions with several investors over the past six months and one is now in pole position.We have agreed terms with an investor at the moment and we are still working through that, said Fitzpatrick, who rescued the team from administration in time for the 2015 season. I cant really talk more about the specifics.Fitzpatrick is now prepared to take a back seat as long as it makes the team stronger.One of the things I was quite clear on, right from the start, was that in the current F1, money equals performance, he said. So anything that was going to bring more funding to the team and help the team develop I was very open to ... (even) if that meant bringing in another investor, and even a majority investor.Manor has scored one point this season, putting it in 11th and last place in the constructors standings heading into Sundays season-ending Abu Dhabi GP.Manor is still aiming for 10th place and is one point behind Sauber, which currently holds that position.The difference between 10th and 11th is several millions in terms of television rights and revenue distribution.Losing out on 10th spot would not affect the impending takeover, however.It doesnt help financially, but the terms of our agreement have been re-finalized, lets say, Fitzpatrick explained. (Its) not a deal breaker.Highly-rated German driver Pascal Wehrlein scored the teams only point this year after finishing 10th at the Austrian GP in July.Esteban Ocon is Manors other driver, but the 20-year-old Frenchman is joining Force India next season.Werhlein, meanwhile, is tipped to replace Brazilian Felipe Nasr at Sauber, a move made potentially more likely with the news that Nasr has lost his banking sponsor Banco do Brasil.Thats correct. The bank informed us as well, Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn said at the same news conference as Fitzpatrick. They have interrupted their 2017 sponsorship program. Our seat is still open, we are including that in our assessment.Darryl Strawberry Mets Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. Mike Piazza Mets Jersey . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate. http://www.metssale.com/mets-travis-d-arnaud-jersey/ . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Mookie Wilson Mets Jersey . Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Jason Vargas Mets Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.On his immediate thoughts on the result, and what India can take away from it:Well, the first thing I felt when I saw the draw a couple of months ago was how could we get such a bad draw? It was definitely the worst draw of all the teams that I would have wanted to play. We could have played Canada, we could have played Kazakhistan, we could have played Belgium. All with one superstar player. But here, even if I wished for Nadal not to come, they have David Ferrer, they have Feliciano Lopez, they have Batista-Agut. Theyve got 10 guys in the top 50, maybe more. So terrible draw first of all, and when we are trying to get into the world group this was not what we needed.Secondly, we found out this weekend, how much better we need to be both mentally and physically, and it was a learning experience for the boys. I mean Ramkumar played really well on the first day, Saketh Myneni played as well as he was allowed to play, against David Ferrer, but it was a complete mismatch, as was the singles today.Doubles was very competitive, we should have won that second set and gone two sets to love which would have made it very interesting. Both Leander and Saket played great, and we were very unlucky to lose that.On Sumit Nagals injury and the fitness levels of the Indians compared to international teamsWe are way behind the Spanish, but they are probably the fittest team in the world. I mean if you saw Marc Lopez today at 34 years of age, quite amazing. He played four very close and intense sets yesterday, came back, and was down 3-0 in the final set today and won 6 games. So the guy still had enough in the tank to play with a 19-year-old kid and beat him. And our 19-year-old kid kind of faded out. Im not exactly sure what went wrong. Maybe it was just nerves that caused him to tighten up because apparently from what Ive heard from other people he is a very fit guy. Today he looked exhausted from the second or third game of the first set, so I wasnt quite sure what exactly was the matter. And then he wanted to take a medical time out early in the third set when he wass up.ddddddddddddAnd you dont take medical time outs when youre up, you take it when youre down, as most people know.So I told him No, youre not going to do it now, but then he had some problem with his stomach, his abdomen and he said he couldnt breathe properly. I wasnt exactly sure what the problem was but having said all that, we do have fitness problems in our team, we do have cramping problems in our team, and so it needs to be worked out somehow. Its very hard for me as captain to say Well, Im going to put Saketh Myneni in but Im not sure he can play 5 sets. Thats not good. I mean rather play somebody else whos not as good, but who can last 5 sets, like Ramkumar.I dont think its a matter of lack of personnel or resources. I think youve just got to commit yourselves to train like the way David Ferrer does, or Feliciano Lopez does. Im not even saying like Nadal does, Im not talking about the top 4 or 5 guys in the world. Im taking about even to compete with the guys who are in the 20s, 30s, 40s, youve got to be in phenomenal physical shape and at 19 you should be. I mean, its amazing to me that 19, 21 and 25 year olds are not in the best shape they can possibly be, and really want to be pro-tennis players. Its just amazing. And as the coach, Zeeshan (Ali) and I were talking just the other day, its frustrating as hell. And the fact is that in our playing days, we didnt have tie-breakers, we played best of five sets, and if I went and told my coach or my captain, Ramanathan Krishnan at the time, that I cant play 3 days in a row, Id be off the team. Id be kicked off the team very quickly.On why the rest of the players werent seated in support for the Nagal-Lopez match, as against Spains contingent which was present in full:Well, I generally insist that the whole team sits behind me when I am sitting in the captains chair. Now Zeeshan is always there and Prajnesh (Gunneswaran) was there. But you know, Leander comes and goes. ' ' '
