Jolyon Palmer has promised Renault a more complete driver if the French outfit choose to retain him for a second season. Jason Pierre-Paul Buccaneers Jersey . The Enstone team have struggled in their first year back in Formula 1 but have aspirations of adding to their two constructors titles in the near future. As such, both Palmer and team-mate Kevin Magnussen are vulnerable with the manufacturer looking for an experienced, leading driver in 2017.But with a driver line-up announcement not forthcoming as of yet, Palmer still hopes he will be given a chance to build on his rookie season in the sport. The Formula 1 Gossip ColumnThe main thing for me is to be judged compared to Kevin because hes in the same car, the Brit, sitting down with Sky F1s Johnny Herbert prior to the Malaysia GP, said. Early on Id say he had the upper hand, its fair to say, but after the first third of the season weve been very, very close.I want to be with Renault [in 2017] and I know that if I am well have a more competitive car. Ive learned a lot this year, its been tough. But I think Im driving not too bad overall, maybe with a few too many mistakes, but Im a rookie and I think thats to be expected over the course of a 21-race year. Next year, if I come back, no doubt I will be more complete because I will have learned from the mistakes that Ive made.The 2014 GP2 champion seems to be timing an upturn in form at the right time at Renault, securing his first points in F1 in Malaysia with an impressive 10th-place finish.Jo is improving, step by step. he is doing a good job, said Renault chief Frederic Vasseur.Why the delay at Renault?When Vasseur confirmed that Renault were chasing a driver capable of leading a team, he was confident that the options available to him in the driver market meant an early September announcement was probable.Sergio Perez seemed the most likely candidate, but the Mexican has now been officially confirmed as a Force India driver for next season. Still, Renault are desperately seeking top drivers for 2017, according to Auto Motor und Sport, and intend to drop Magnussen and Palmer. The German publication claims that Valtteri Bottas, Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz remain top of the teams wish-list despite Hulkenberg and Sainz being under contract at Force India and Toro Rosso respectively, while Bottas is expected to stay on at Williams alongside Lance Stroll.However, Auto Motor und Sport speculate that with a bumper three-year deal on offer, its not yet certain that Renault will be rejected.Whats unclear is just what Renault will do if Sainz, Hulkenberg and Bottas all join Perez in saying no… Also See: Palmer and KMag to fight for seat?

He and his Cubs teammates lingered on the field until a replay review confirmed the on-field decision: Rizzo had caught Luis Valbuenas throw from third base to first on a grounder in time to get Dustin Pedroia for the final out. "It was nerve-wracking," Rizzo said after Chicagos 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night, "especially with Big Papi coming up." Had the call been overturned, David Ortiz would have batted with runners at first and second and two outs. "I didnt even see the replay," said Pedroia, who gestured in frustration after crossing the bag. "I feel like I was right there. It was bang-bang. I dont know." Rizzo started the ninth with a single, went to third on a double by Starlin Castro and scored on Valbuenas sacrifice fly off Koji Uehara (3-2). Mookie Betts made the catch in medium right field, but his throw was off line and Rizzo scored easily. "Oh, gosh, what a great at-bat," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "He fell behind (and) was just still able to put enough of the barrel on the baseball to get it deep enough to score the run." The double was the 37th extra-base hit for Castro, who entered the game tied with Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies for the major league lead among shortstops with 36. Pedro Strop (1-3) pitched a perfect eighth and Hector Rondon worked the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. Boston continued to struggle offensively one night after getting no hits against Jake Arrieta for 7 2-3 innings until Stephen Drew singled. The Red Sox ended that game with season lows of two hits and three base runners in a 2-0 loss. In their last five games, theyve scored more than two runs just once. "It gets a little frustrating at times, particularly with the number of opportunities we continue to create," manager John Farrell said. "And thats the thing that we have to continue to focus on internally, is that the opportunitiess are there and yet at times were not cashing in. Alex Cappa Jersey. ." But their dominant home pitching persisted. For the 14th straight game at Fenway Park, the Red Sox allowed no more than three runs, extending their franchise record. The last longer streak in the American League was 15 games by the Chicago White Sox, the last game in 1966 and the first 14 in 1967. The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the fifth against Edwin Jackson. Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled and scored from third on a single by Pedroia. The Cubs tied it in the sixth after going hitless against Clay Buchholz since Chris Coghlan led off the game with a single. "Both Jax and Buchholz were grinding it out against each other," Renteria said. Justin Ruggiano started the sixth with a double, moved to third on a single by Darwin Barney and scored when Coghlan grounded into a force play at second base. Ryan Sweeneys single put runners at first and third, but the threat ended when Rizzo lined out to first baseman Mike Napoli, who stepped on first to double up Sweeney. Chicago threatened again in the seventh when a single by Castro, a passed ball and a hit batter put runners at first and third with one out. Andrew Miller replaced Buchholz and struck out pinch-hitter Junior Lake and Ruggiano to end the inning. NOTES: Boston used an all-rookie outfield of LF Brock Holt, CF Bradley and RF Betts.
