MEXICO CITY -- Lewis Hamilton won the Mexican Grand Prix with the help of a wide turn through the grass and dirt at the first corner.It was a crucial victory for the defending champion if he is to catch Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in this seasons title chase with just two races left.But several drivers questioned why Hamilton wasnt penalized for going off track and returning with a huge lead. The move came when Hamilton locked his right front brake coming out of the long straight off the start.Very surprised by that. Massive advantage, said Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg, who started fifth and had a good view of Hamiltons drive into the first turn. I think he was going well off the track. He was far, far from making turn one and two ... That its not even being looked at is amazing to me.Hamilton started on pole position and the maneuver helped him stay ahead of Rosberg. It was critical for both the race and the chase for the season championship.Race officials chose not to review Hamiltons move, but did look at a bump between Rosberg and Red Bulls Max Verstappen at the same turn that briefly sent Rosberg into the grass as well. No penalty was assessed in that case.Verstappen was later penalized 5 seconds for running wide into the grass at the same corner as Hamiltons drive-off. Verstappens wild ride came in a late-race duel for the third with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel, and the penalty cost him a podium finish.Lewis gained a massive advantage (at the start), Verstappen told Sky Sports. I didnt gain an advantage. When I came back on track I was the same length in front so I think its ridiculous.Hamilton insisted they were different racing situations.I think I was still in the lead going in. I was still in the lead going out, Hamilton said.Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third, wasnt so sure.How you can be leading, lock the brakes, go off and come out in front? Ricciardo said. I think he deserved the penalty. I think anyone who does that deserves a penalty. Discount Jerseys Custom . PAUL, Minn.

Its huge -- just like the Rangers 42-point improvement in our overall standings, the best of any MLB team. After two seasons languishing in the middle of the pack, the Rangers are a top-20 Ultimate Standings franchise for the fourth time in six years.Whats goodThe Rangers didnt just win -- they won in style, compiling a 36-11 record in one-run games, the best single-season mark by any team in at least a century. Average home attendance was up almost 3,000 per game to 33,461. A solid 20th ranking in coaching is courtesy of Jeff Banister, the third manager in the wild-card era to win division titles in his first two seasons with the club. The Rangers have always ranked high in affordability, and that continued with a No. 13 ranking, the highest of any category. The average ticket price of $23.64 is the fourth lowest in the majors. No team with a winning record has prices that reasonable, which accounts for the teeams No.dddddddddddd 21 bang for the buck.Whats badOther than a disappointing 51st-place showing in title track (which an ALDS sweep wont help), not much is off in Texas. Globe Life Park still rates a very respectable 20th in stadium experience, but the searing Texas heat and the absence of a retractable roof are getting to be too much to bear. The smallest crowd of the year -- 20,720 -- came on an afternoon game in Arlington with a heat index of 105 degrees. Things might change after the Rangers announced plans to build a new, retractable-roof stadium in Arlington, assuming the proposition passes in Novembers election. Taxpayers could be on the hook for a nice portion of the $1 billion price tag, which would give them another reason to sweat.Whats newTexas overcame a rash of injuries to win its second straight AL West title, and fans respected that grittiness, with a 56-point leap in players to 15th overall. There has also been a major thaw in the way fans view co-chairman Ray Davis, as the Rangers rose to No. 31 in ownership, a 43-point vault. The controversial decision to replace franchise icon Nolan Ryan a few years ago still lingered, but it was apparently nothing a few playoff appearances couldnt change.Next: Baltimore Orioles?| Full rankings ' ' '
