YEONGAM, South Korea -- Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettels relentless push toward a seemingly inevitable fourth-straight Formula One drivers championship continued with a victory at the Korean Grand Prix on Sunday. wholesale nfl jerseys . Even two safety-car periods, the emergence of a truck on the circuit mid-race and the incineration of his teammates car were not enough to put off the German, who made it a hat-trick of wins in Korea, and a fourth successive victory overall. The Red Bull ace led throughout to win by 4.2 seconds ahead of the Lotus pair of Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. Nearest title rival Fernando Alonso was sixth, stretching Vettels lead in the championship to 77 points with only five races remaining, meaning he could wrap up the title at next weekends Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. If Vettel wins in Japan, and Alonso finishes worse than eighth, the German will join his compatriot Michael Schumacher and Juan-Manuel Fangio as the only men to win four successive titles. "Even though it looks very good for us, its still not over," Vettel said. "Im not trying to think about it to be honest, Im focusing more on the present. "I am really enjoying things at the moment, we have a great team and we are having a great time as well." Saubers Nico Hulkenberg put in a superb defensive drive over the last 17 laps by holding off a queue of world champions behind him after the second safety-car period ended, finishing fourth to equal his career best. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton was fifth, just holding off Alonso on the last lap. Mercedes Nico Rosberg took seventh by passing eighth-placed Jenson Button of McLaren in the closing stages. Ferraris Felipe Massa was ninth and McLarens Sergio Perez rounded out the top ten. Vettel, who has now led after every lap of four-straight races, again got away well from pole position and avoided the chaos on turn three, at the exit of the main straight. Massa spun and made contact with teammate Alonso, who was able to continue, while Button and Force Indias Adrian Sutil also had collisions that forced them to pit. Vettel led Grosjean by 2.1 seconds after the first lap but he was not able to pull away from the field as comfortably as he had in recent races, with the Frenchman clinging on and within 3.4 seconds when the leaders started to pit after nine laps. The championship leader extended that to 5.1 seconds by mid-distance from Grosjean, who had ably held off Hamilton in their battle after the first stops. Hamiltons rubber soon started to degrade and he fell back toward teammate Rosberg, but as soon as the German passed the Briton, his front wing failed and drooped to the ground, leaving Rosberg driving in a sea of sparks. The safety car emerged on lap 31 following a spectacular tire failure on the front right wheel of Perezs McLaren, with the tread suddenly shearing off and landing in the middle of the main straight. The racing had only resumed for a lap when Force Indias Adrian Sutil spun into the Red Bull of Mark Webber at the end of the main straight, causing the Australians car to burst into flames. With the safety car only having just come in, the field rounded onto the straight at full speed on the next lap only to see a fire marshalls truck trundling down the track toward the fire, acting as a de-facto safety car before the real one could take up the job. "It looked like a BMW. I think it was a Hyundai or Kia SUV. You want the number plate?" joked Vettel. In the one lap between the two yellow-flag periods, Raikkonen had got past Grosjean, but the Finn was unable to keep up with Vettel upon resumption, trailing by 1.4 seconds after one lap and consistently losing time from then on. Grosjean said the two safety-car periods helped Vettel, suggesting that without them, the two Lotus cars would have been able to manage their tires better over a long last stint and challenge the leader. "It seems that every time there will be a battle with Seb, theres a safety car coming," Grosjean said. "The last stints would have been pretty epic without the safety car ... it would have been close." jerseys from china . -- Darren Mattocks scored in the 43rd minute to lift the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday night. cheap jerseys .

They had partnered for 12 seasons -- an eternity in this day and age for a franchise and a manager. They had won a lot of games together -- 998 to be exact -- and six division titles.NEW YORK -- As Detroit kept coming back, Joe Johnson figured the game could come down to a last shot. It did and he knew it was in as soon as it left his hands. Johnson made a jumper from just inside the arc as time expired in the second overtime, giving the Brooklyn Nets a 107-105 victory over the Pistons on Friday night. Johnson finished with 28 points for the Nets, scoring their final five in the second extra period. He faded backward after launching the jumper over Tayshaun Prince in something of a victory trot. "The coaches and, like I say, my teammates have the confidence in putting the ball in my hands down the stretch, then I have to come up big for us," Johnson said. Gerald Wallace added a season-high 25 points and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams scored 17 points and Andray Blatche had 16 for the Nets, who blew a 17-point lead, missed their first six shots in the second overtime, and still managed to win their second straight. The Nets said Johnsons jumper was their first buzzer-beating victory since Feb. 23, 2009, when Devin Harris hit a game-winner against Philadelphia. "We fought all game and he carried us through the fourth quarter and overtimes," Williams said of Johnson, "and I dont think anybody wanted to play a third overtime, so I guess he knew we needed to get to Chicago." Brandon Knight scored 22 points and Rodney Stuckey had 19 for the Pistons, who dropped their third straight. Detroit led 103-100 in the second overtime before Wallace drove into the lane to get the Nets on the board. Johnson put them in the lead with a basket in the lane, making it 104-103, and after Greg Monroe wasnt close on two free throws, Johnson added a free throw that made it 105-103 with 10.5 seconds left. Knight missed a jumper, but the Nets Kris Humphries tipped it right to Kyle Singler under the basket, who tied it with 5.8 seconds to go. The Nets got the ball into Johnson, who was well defended by Prince before stepping back for the long jumper that had to be reviewed to see if it was a 2-pointer or a 3. Wouldnt have mattered. Johnson left no time for another Detroit comeback. "It seemed like when he let it go, the ball is in the air forever," Prince said. "If it was a situation where he got in the paint and made something, then Id be a little bit upset. But those type of shots, you cant control when a guy steps back and hits a 3-ppoint shot for the win. cheap jerseys. I just feel so bad for our guys, man. They worked so hard for this, man. They fought and fought and fought." Brook Lopez had nine points in 23 minutes for the Nets after missing seven games with a sprained right foot. Coach Avery Johnson said his leading scorer would be limited to about half the game, so Lopez watched the extra periods. Johnson said the Nets would evaluate Lopez to see if he would play Saturday against the Bulls. His return made an immediate difference for the Nets in the first half, but they couldnt keep the Pistons off the backboards down the stretch, allowing them to come back. Monroe had 17 points for the Pistons, who surrendered a 21-1 run in the second quarter, wiped out the Nets lead by the end of the third, went ahead in the closing minutes of the fourth, but couldnt hold on to give coach Lawrence Frank, a Jersey guy and former Nets coach, a victory in his first game in Brooklyn. "We showed great resolve, great fight and we competed extremely hard," Frank said. "Theres no one there thats happy with the consolation prize, (but) disappointed that we came up short because we know we got it in both regulation and overtime. We got the stop, We just couldnt finish the play." Detroit, which lost a basket to a shot-clock violation after a video review, blew a six-point lead in the final 90 seconds of regulation. Stuckey had three baskets in the first extra period to give Detroit a two-point lead with 41 seconds left, before Johnson tied it on a floater with 18 seconds remaining. Stuckey then missed a jumper that could have won it. Trailing by four in the second quarter, the Nets blew by the Pistons with the big run that gave them a 54-38 lead on Blatches layup with 2:38 to play. Brooklyn extended it to 17 points later in the period and was ahead 59-47 at halftime. Notes: The Nets played without Jerry Stackhouse, who had a sore right knee. Johnson said Stackhouse was hurt when his leg crashed into Jason Kidds on Kidds tiebreaking 3-pointer with 24 seconds left in the Knicks 100-97 victory here on Tuesday. Stackhouse was called for a foul on the play. Johnson called the collision a "rough tumble." ... Frank, who coached the Nets from 2004 until early in the 2009-10 season, praised the Barclays Center, saying hed been invited by the Nets to attend one of the Jay-Z concerts that opened the building in September.
