YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Red Bull boss Christian Horner says Nico Rosberg faces more pressure at this weekends Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as he tries to seal his first drivers title ahead of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.Rosberg heads into the season finale as the favourite, with a podium finish enough to secure the title on Sunday, while Hamiltons best chance of title success is to win the race and hope Rosberg finishes fourth or lower. Rosberg has only failed to reach the podium at four of the 19 races he has finished this season, but if Red Bull prove to be competitive in Abu Dhabi he could find himself in a battle with Horners drivers for crucial points.Its going to be fascinating to see whats going to happen this weekend because obviously Lewis job is pretty straightforward -- hes just got to go for it and win the race -- so all the tension is probably going to be on Nico, Horner said. Its Nicos to lose really and we can probably be Lewis best friend this weekend if we manage to get both of our cars between him and Nico.Asked if he thought Rosberg had the nerves to deal with the extra pressure this weekend, Horner added: I dont know, this is the championship point effectively, so it will be interesting to see how he deals with that. Hes driven well under pressure so far this year, hes driven a very strong season and things have gone his way, which is sometimes the way things work out. For sure this will probably be the biggest race of his career this weekend to close the job off.Hes driving with a championship in mind. Hes a bright guy and hes driving the percentage game at the moment, banking the points. He cant afford to get tangled up with another battle, so hes probably going to be watching his mirrors more than most going into Turn 1. As weve seen with our guys, theyre not in that [high-pressure] position, so theyll simply be going for it. You can imagine him [Rosberg] being a bit more tentative than he has been at other races.Horner compared Hamiltons situation to Sebastian Vettels in 2010 when he entered the final round at Abu Dhabi with a 15-point deficit to Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso. A botched Ferrari strategy in the race saw Vettel overcome the odds and win the title with a dominant performance, and Horner believes Hamilton should approach this weekend in the same frame of mind.I think psychologically it is easier for Lewis because its an FA Cup final for him, hes just got to go for it. All he can do is win the race and then the other results have to take care of themselves. That was very much the scenario with Sebastian in 2010, there were four drivers that year -- Lewis, Fernando, Mark [Webber] and Seb -- that all stood a chance of winning. Sebastian just paid no attention to what was going on around him, just got on with the job and drove a great race.The others tightened up a little bit, focusing ... particularly Fernando covering what Mark was doing and forgetting what Seb was doing. And he went into that race similar to Nico just needing to finish in the top three to be world champion and events unfolded and Sebastian prevailed at the end of the day.It just goes to show you cant take anything for granted. At the end of the year the engines, the gearboxes are all getting up there in mileage. Nobody has been infallible to reliability issues, so youd hope it wasnt a factor like that that dictated the championship, but Lewis definitely still has a pretty decent chance going into this final race.Mets Jerseys 2020 .

While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies.SAN DIEGO -- Its been a lost season for the San Diego Chargers, on the field, in the trainers room and at the ballot box.The Chargers have their bye this weekend, allowing them to rest up and perhaps ponder the train wreck of a year theyve had so far.Theres a lot to take in, even if 4-6 doesnt seem so terrible compared to San Franciscos 1-9 or Clevelands 0-10.Theyve blown fourth-quarter leads at a dizzying pace and lost numerous players to season-ending injuries, including wide receivers Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson; running back Danny Woodhead; linebacker Manti Teo; cornerback Jason Verrett; and nose tackle Brandon Mebane.The Chargers were dispatched last Sunday by a winning 60-yard pick-6 with 61 seconds left by Miamis Kiko Alonso, the fourth interception of Philip Rivers in the fourth quarter.Safety Darrell Stuckey equated that loss with taking a shot under the chin.Has he ever seen a season like this?Yeah, Ive been here seven years. Of course I have, Stuckey said.Hes got a point.Barring a stunning turnaround, the Chargers will miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons under coach Mike McCoy and for the sixth time in seven seasons overall. Theyve lost 18 of their last 26 games. Their next game is at Houston on Nov. 27, daunting in the sense that the Chargers have lost 12 of their last 14 road games.Despite all that, McCoy gave the Chargers the whole week off. Then again, they probably needed to get away from it all.The Chargers are buried in last place in the AFC West, the NFLs toughest division. Theyve split with the Denver Broncos but lost on the road to Kansas City and Oakland. Theyll host the Raiders on Dec. 18 and the Chiefs on New Years Day, which could be their last-ever game in San Diego if chairman Dean Spanos decides to move to Los Angeles, still an option for the franchise.Well play them all, Rivers said.

But well heal up a bit, get a few guys back and fight like crazy down the stretch.Theres turmoil off the field, too.Voters rejected Spanos ballot measure for a new stadium by a resounding 57 percent to 43 percent. Spanos was asking voters to approve a $1.15 billion subsidy in the form of an increase in the hotel occupancy tax to help fund a stadium and convention center annex downtown to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley. While campaigning for the stadium, Spanos surrogates werent shy about reminding voters about the teams option to move to L.A.Spanos said hell take his time deciding the teams future and wont announce any decisions before the season ends. His options include negotiating a new deal with Mayor Kevin Faulconer or moving to Los Angeles to join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019. That was his consolation prize after fellow NFL owners defeated his plan to join with the Raiders to build a stadium in the L.A. suburb of Carson.One bright spot for the Chargers is running back Melvin Gordon, who has bounced back nicely from his miserable rookie season. Hes scored 11 touchdowns, nine rushing, and is third in the NFL with 838 yards. He had a career-high 196 yards rushing in a win against Tennessee two weeks ago, plus four catches for 65 yards.Rookie Joey Bosa had four sacks in his first four games. After missing all of training camp in a nasty contract squabble, he injured a hamstring and missed the first four games.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
