Esteban Gutierrez has downplayed the incident which saw him being held back by Haas boss Guenther Steiner after retiring from the Brazilian Grand Prix.Gutierrez still has no points next to his name this season after a suspected electrical failure ended his race at Interlagos at a time when the extreme wet raised possibilities of a strong result. The Mexican driver, set to leave Haas at the end of the year, threw his gloves at a wall in the garage after his retirement.Shortly afterwards, Gutierrez was shown on the TV feed pushing Steiner away as the team principal tried to calm him down. Gutierrez insisted his it was just a case of emotions getting the better of him and dismissed any notion of a rift with Steiner.I was very angry about the situation, Gutierrez told F1i. But I was not angry at anyone, it was just the wrong timing and afterwards we were laughing with each other just about the moment. It looked like there was something going on but not necessarily.I dont think its fair to blame anyone at the moment because we dont know exactly what the problem is. There was an electrical issue and again we missed another opportunity.Im angry at the situation because its been like this very often in the year. Its not a very nice place to be but we move on, I will never give up.The Brazilian GP weekend saw Haas confirm Kevin Magnussen alongside Romain Grosjean for 2017. Gutierrez was later reported as saying it was unfair Haas had opted against retaining him for another season. His remaining options on the grid are Manor or former team Sauber. Casey Mittelstadt Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Zemgus Girgensons Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. http://www.sabresteamstoreonline.com/authentic-sam-reinhart-sabres-jersey/ . The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. Vladimir Sobotka Sabres Jersey . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Linus Ullmark Jersey . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. Steve Waugh, the former Australia captain, has indicated a willingness to consider the role of selector after it emerged that the panels chairman Rod Marsh will vacate his post at the end of the season.Series defeats in Sri Lanka and South Africa have renewed focus on the Australian teams performance, and there is tension in the air as Steven Smiths team look to rebound by winning at home.Marshs decision not to seek a contract renewal was announced after the South Africa ODI series ended in a 5-0 defeat, and he will not be the only man under pressure, should results go badly this summer.Pat Howard, the head of team performance, is also out of contract next year, and will be looking to recast the selection panel before that time. Darren Lehmann, the national team coach and selector, has had his contract renewed until 2019.Waugh, whose twin brother Mark has been a selector since 2014, said he would be open to joining the panel. Id listen to it if the opportunity came up, but there are a lot of things youve got to throw into the mix and see whether its the right time, Waugh told the Sydney Morning Herald. I think there are a lot of good cricket brains in Australia. No one has asked me, but Id listen to it.Aside from a brief chat during the 2015 World Cup, Waugh has seldom been seen near the Australian side since his 2004 retirement, but has remained a respected voice and was a member of the Argus review panel in 2011, alongside fellow former captains Mark Taylor and Allan Border.Waugh perceives 2016-17 to be a pivotal summer for Smith in particular. You always have a honeymoonn period.dddddddddddd The first six to 12 months, everything is fantastic. You make all the changes and they work, Waugh said. Then, the reality sets in and its a bit harder than that.I think losing that series in Sri Lanka probably was a bit of a shock to the system. I thought our fielding was very poor, which is unlike Australia, and that sort of set the benchmark for the rest of their cricket.[Smith] will be having a good look at himself, his captaincy style and which players he wants in the team. These six Tests in Australia could well define his captaincy going forward. I think if they have a good series in Australia and the team stays stable, and they respond to his leadership, then its great for him, but if things dont go well, it will be a challenging time for him, particularly after the last few losses. But, as a captain, the one thing about Steve Smith is hes amazing in the way he responds when things are down.Waugh also noted Smiths recent comments about the quiet nature of numerous members of the Test team and wanting to see a more boisterous group.Thats when hes got to get together with the selectors and say this is the type of player I want in the side, Waugh said. Im sure hell be talking to Rod Marsh and the selectors, saying, look, we need a bit more life, a bit more talk and attitude and a bit more Aussie Way. That may define some of the selections in the first Test. If he wants more talk out there, hes definitely got to get it. ' ' '
