Austin, TX (SportsNetwork. Jeremy Lamb Jersey .com) - Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes won his fifth consecutive grand prix and widened his points lead over teammate Nico Rosberg in the Formula One world championship standings by winning Sundays United States Grand Prix. Starting second, Hamilton passed Rosberg, the pole sitter, for the lead on lap 24 of this 56-lap race at Circuit of the Americas. He took command from there, beating Rosberg at the finish by 4.3 seconds. Hamilton, the 2008 world champion, scored his 10th victory this season and the 32nd of his career, which placed him in a tie with Fernando Alonso for fifth on F1s all-time race winners list. Ive been so fortunate to have an incredible team and an incredible car, Hamilton said. I had a great competitor (Rosberg) today. Im really grateful to be up front. Prior to the U.S. GP, Hamilton won at Italy, Singapore, Japan and Russia. He now holds a 24-point advantage over Rosberg (316-292). Just two races remain with 75 points available. The race winner in next weekends Brazilian Grand Prix will receive 25 points, while the winner of the Nov. 23 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will collect 50. Hamilton now has more F1 grand prix wins than any other British driver. Three weeks ago, Hamiltons victory in the inaugural Russian GP in Sochi had moved him into a tie his fellow British compatriot Nigel Mansell. Its such a privilege to be representing my country, and to be at the top of the drivers wins is quite special, Hamilton added. Its the third time Hamilton has won the U.S. GP. His first victory in this event occurred in 2007 at Indianapolis Motor Speedways road course. He also won the inaugural race at COTA two years ago when he drove for McLaren. Rosberg has finished second to Hamilton in three straight grand prix. Once Lewis got by me (for the lead), I found my rhythm, but it was too late, so that kind of sucked, Rosberg said. Daniel Ricciardo from Red Bull finished third, while the Williams duo of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas placed fourth and fifth, respectively. Alonso from Ferrari was sixth. Sebastian Vettel, the four-time world champion and winner of last years U.S. GP here, finished seventh after he had to start this race from pit lane due to a penalty he received for using his sixth power unit (engine) this season. This event featured just an 18-car field since Caterham and Marussia both missed it due to their current financial issues.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders chose to let their play do the talking. Kory Sheets, Taj Smith and Geroy Simon scored two touchdowns each as the Roughriders improved to 8-1 for the first time in their 103-year history with a 48-25 win Sunday in the Labour Day Classic over the feisty Blue Bombers. Simons second score, on a 10-yard pass from Darian Durant, capped a furious second-half rally that saw Saskatchewan overcome an 18-14 halftime deficit by outscoring Winnipeg 34-7 the rest of the way. "Were a winning team and we play football the right way," said Simon. "Winning teams do things the right way whether youre winning or youre losing. Well take care of our business and let them do whatever they want." With their seventh straight loss, the league-worst Blue Bombers dropped to 1-8 for the first time since 1997. Sundays game produced just the second and third touchdowns of the season for Simon who, until his injury-shortened 2012 season, hadnt caught less than six in a year since 2002. He entered the game fifth on the team with 219 receiving yards, putting him on pace for his worst year statistically in 12 seasons. "Ive been in this league for a long time and the ball just finds a way to get to me," Simon said. "Im in a new offence, Im with a new quarterback and with new receivers. And weve got a running back thats pretty frickin good. Hes getting the ball 25 times a game so the ball cant go everywhere. "I know that its gonna come and I just (have to) be prepared when it comes." Sheets was held to under 100 yards rushing for just the second time this season but came up big when it mattered, scoring on a three-yard pitch from Drew Willy in the first half to get the Riders on the board. He added a one-yard TD run on the opening series of the third quarter to put Saskatchewan ahead for good. It was that drive, which was led by three catches from Chris Getzlaf for 71 yards, that gave the sellout crowd of 44,910 - the second largest ever for a football game at Mosaic Stadium - some life. The Roughriders didnt let off the gas either. Chris Milo kicked his longest field goal of the season, from 47 yards, to make it 24-18 after the third quarter. Durant threw a 40-yard pass to Weston Dressler on the first series of the fourth quarter, which led to an 11-yard TD grab by Smith and a 31-18 lead. Goltz tried to make it interesting when he blew by Saskatchewan defensive back Dwight Anderson tto complete a 46-yard touchdown run, but Anderson intercepted him on Winnipegs next possession which led to Smiths second touchdown of the game and a 38-25 lead. Naz Mitrou-Long Jersey. . "I dont think that anyones lost any confidence in this team at any point in time," said Getzlaf, who finished with seven catches for 112 yards. "Theres no point in time where anyone has given up the fact that we could win a football game." Things went from bad to worse for the Blue Bombers when Mike Renauds punt was blocked by Spencer Moore, setting up a 23-yard field goal from Milo. Prince Miller finished off Winnipeg when he returned another Goltz interception 41 yards to set up Simons second touchdown. "Our defence really stepped up in the second half too and as a whole team the second half was pretty good football," said Getzlaf. Winnipeg linebacker Henoc Muamba kept the Riders offence in check for most of the first half by containing Sheets, who entered the game as the CFLs leading rusher with 1,058 yards. Muamba twice tackled Sheets for a loss, including once in the Saskatchewan end zone leading to a safety and the first points of the game. Sheets finished the first half with 25 rushing yards after averaging over 130 per game through the first eight weeks of the season. Muamba also became the first player to intercept a Roughriders pass all season when he picked a throw intended for Dressler. But the good news ended there for Winnipeg, which built its slim half-time lead on a one-yard TD run by backup quarterback Jason Boltus, a six-yard scoring run from Goltz, Muambas tackle for a safety and two punt singles from Renaud. Saskatchewan also scored in the first half on a 21-yard touchdown pass on a corner route from Durant to Simon. "The testament of this team is ... when people do things to us in the first half weve been able to make some adjustments and come back solid in the second half," said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin. "The second half, like I said, when weve settled down you have to stay steady in the first half and in the second half you have to be able to win games." Durant finished 24 for 35 for 310 yards while Goltz was 18 for 29 for 182 yards. Sheets finished the game with 91 yards rushing on 20 attempts. It was only the second game of the year he failed to reach the 100-yard plateau. "As far as making history, I think thats something that well always remember and it gives guys something to play for," said Chamblin. "And at the same time it puts us in a pretty good position after nine games." ' ' '
