Nico Rosberg is among a number of F1 drivers who hope Pirellis wet-weather testing this year produces a better extreme tyre for 2017.Sundays Brazilian Grand Prix was red flagged twice and featured five safety car periods as race control struggled to gauge whether the wet conditions were suitable for racing. Several drivers complained of aquaplaning, with Marcus Ericsson, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen all spinning into the barriers during the race.The conditions were some of the worse F1 has seen this season, but a number of drivers pointed to the extreme-wet tyres tendency to aquaplane.They are very easy to aquaplane with, its not like its raining a lot, Raikkonen said following his incident. Weve said that many times, but it obviously also depends on the circuit and many things.If I compare to ten/twelve year ago those tyres could cope with this kind of rain with no issues, no aquaplaning. The aquaplaning is the biggest issue, if we have a bit of standing water we get zero grip. Thats it.Romain Grosjean, who spun on his way to the grid, added: The extreme tyre is a very poor tyre and there is no grip. You have to take a huge amount of risk to go to the intermediates because they are just faster. But, yes you cannot control the car in a straight line.Part of the problem has been a lack of wet weather tyre testing since Pirelli returned to the sport as the sole tyre supplier in 2011, but this year the Italian tyre company has completed six days of dedicated wet-weather testing to develop its 2017 tyre. Rosberg, who managed to catch a big slide when he aquaplaned on the uphill run to the pit straight in Brazil, hopes the dedicated wet-weather tests will produce better tyres.Its difficult because its completely unpredictable when you go through a little bit more water -- you dont know whats going to happen, he said. That makes it really challenging, but they [Pirelli] know that and they are working on it at the moment.Thats why they have been doing wet tests, to make some progress for next year. It would be good for the racing also, because then you dont need to red flag it and you can let the race go on. It will be a good thing.Red Bull boss Christian Horner also hopes progress can be made ahead of 2017, when Pirelli faces an even tougher challenge with a wider footprint that will be more susceptible to aquaplaning.You could see that the drivers were having big issues with aquaplaning on the extreme and the inter. Kimi crashed in front of us on the extreme. [Marcus] Ericsson was on the inter. So we conducted some wet testing for Pirelli at the beginning of the year to try and help, and it seems like there is still room for improvement on the extreme in extreme conditions.However, Lewis Hamilton, who won the race in Brazil without a single mistake, said the conditions were not as bad as they looked.This is Formula One and the rain conditions are the trickiest conditions. If everyone just went round and didnt make mistakes it would be too easy and then everyone could do it. We are going at some serious speeds and there is a lot of water to disperse by the tyres and the tyre just struggles; the faster we go, the harder it is for the tyres. This wasnt a particularly difficult race in terms of being wet, theres been much much worse races in terms of aquaplaning. Cheap Adidas UK .

LEICESTER, England -- Champions one season. Relegated the next.It has only ever happened to one team in the highest division of English football -- Manchester City in 1937-38 -- so Leicester is trying to avoid an unwanted piece of history this season.At the start of a week when the team from central England could clinch a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, it is Leicesters form in the Premier League that is possibly the biggest talking point.A 3-1 loss to Watford on Saturday left Leicester in 14th place in the 20-team league and just two points above the bottom three. No one foresaw Claudio Ranieris team winning the Premier League last season -- the pre-season odds on that happening were 5,000-1 -- but its rapid fall from grace is taking many by surprise, too.The relegation is very close to us and we have to react, Ranieri said after the loss to Watford. I expected difficulties, but not so strong.On Monday, Ranieri dismissed a suggestion that his players have been distracted by competing in the Champions League.I dont think its a distraction, its enjoyment, Ranieri said at a news conference ahead of the home match against Club Brugge on Tuesday. I dont see the difference.Yet, in five Premier Leaague matches played the weekend before a Champions League game, Leicester has collected just one point.dddddddddddd Leicester has already lost six games in the league, which is double the number of losses from last seasons title-winning campaign.If you see the match against Watford and the match against Copenhagen or Brugge or Porto, its the same, Ranieri said. The difference is in the Champions League matches we score, in the other matches no.Our focus is this: Try to win tomorrow and then go back into the Premier League and try to improve our table. Yes, of course I have to work harder, everyone has to work harder.Leicester was fortunate to be drawn in one of the weaker Champions League groups and the team has made the most of it, winning three games, drawing the other and conceding no goals.The Foxes only need a point on Tuesday to be sure of a place in the knockout stage, allowing the focus to switch entirely to the teams league form -- at least until February.Our fairytale is continuing, Ranieri said. We did something special last season and were doing it again this season. ' ' '
