Focus on... Nico RosbergHow Nico Rosberg must wish he could turn back the clock to about 13:02 on May 15 of this year. At that moment, he led the championship by 43 points and led Lewis Hamilton on track after passing him at Turn 1 of the Spanish Grand Prix. Moments later, the pair collided and crashed out of the race. In the five races since, Hamilton has won four times and Rosberg just once, with the lead cut to just one point following the Britons win at Silverstone last time out.Rosbergs superb early-season form was never going to last forever -- he said as much himself at the time. But even he could not have imagined such a dramatic turnaround in so short an amount of time. The championship has effectively been reset coming to Budapest. A fired up, on-form Hamilton is a dangerous thing; he won titles through similar spells of dominance in 2014 and 2015.For much of this period of success for Mercedes, questions have been asked of Rosbergs ability to win in a straight fight. We still havent seen that championship-calibre drive from Rosberg -- he was several corners away from completing one in Austria -- and with the summer break approaching fast he desperately needs to wrestle the initiative away from Hamilton and regain himself the confidence and swagger he had earlier in the year. Hungary would be a great place to do it, given Hamiltons previous results here. This is not to say the title is going to be won or lost in the upcoming back-to-back races but Rosbergs season needs to be kick-started as soon as possible.In need of a winAs ever, Ferrari could go here, as could Nico Rosberg given his diminishing title lead and form. However, a more left-field candidate is Daniel Ricciardo. His drive to victory at Budapest in 2014 was one of his most memorable and he arrives this year with new Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen stealing the plaudits and a considerable amount of the Australians thunder. A win would be timely for Ricciardo to reassert his authority at the team and just payment for lost victories in Spain and Monaco this season.In need of pointsSauber finally confirmed new ownership this week. The team can now focus fully on its on-track performances after a year of financial problems. Removing that zero from next to its name in the constructors championship has to be the aim now -- especially with Pascal Wehrlein registering points for Manor in Austria.ESPN predictionLewis Hamiltons dominance at the Hungaroring is only matched by Michael Schumacher, with the two men claiming four wins apiece in Budapest. Hamiltons previous (2007, 2009, 2012, 2013) made him favourite for the past two seasons but Hungary was arguably his worst performance of 2015. He arrives in Budapest this year with four wins in the last five races and with the momentum very much on his side - meaning we are backing him for Hungary win number five this weekend.WeatherIts going to be hot throughout the weekend in Budapest, with temperatures between 28 and 31 degrees. F1 weather service Ubimet predicts a dry Friday and Saturday, though it says there are big uncertainties about Sundays weather with risks of showers come race day. That will cast memories back to 2014s classic race, which came after a big shower, though a weekend of completely dry running cannot be ruled out.BettingLewis Hamilton remains the bookies favourite at 6/5 this weekend. Red Bulls recent form sees both drivers the next-best-bet behind Mercedes, with both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo at just 4/1. Sebastian Vettel, by contrast, is less favoured to repeat his 2015 heroics at 16/1.Ricciardo has the best odds of beating Mercedes to pole, at 5/1, while you can get 16/1 for either Marcus Ericsson or Felipe Nasr to return Sauber to the points.A lap with...Esteban GutierrezYou come down full speed into turn one, the biggest braking of all the circuits. The exit of turn one is a hairpin, and you come down to turn two, which is a very long corner - downhill off-banking - so its pretty challenging on entry. You exit to go down to turn three, preparing the line from turn two and more straight down to turn five, which is a high-speed corner to the left. Taking a lot of the curb and the apex makes it very nice.Then turn six - a long corner to the right, a little bit of uphill, which then approaches turn seven and eight, which is a very interesting chicane. Its very slow, but interesting because you can use all the curb on the apex and exit. You come out of that corner with the tires overheated and approaching the next sequence of corners which is eight, nine and 10. It becomes very challenging because you need to keep the temperature on the tires low and youre trying to make the corners in the best way, sometimes sliding the car, pushing on the limit.You approach turn 11, which is a high-speed corner. You enter into the corner with a little bit of trickiness coming from the high temperatures of the tires. The exit of turn 11 there is a bit more straight. You come down to turn 12, which is a 90-degree corner, and usually you can use the curb to maximize the track. Then you come down to turn 13, a very long corner and uphill before approaching the last corner, which is one of my favourite ones.TyresAvailable compounds: Medium, soft, super-softTyre facts: ? Theres only one real straight on the Hungaroring, which means tyres are constantly working.? Its a well-balanced track, with traction, braking and lateral energy demands roughly equal.? High temperatures make thermal degradation a factor.? The emphasis is on mechanical grip, as a low average speed means there is little downforce.? Drivers describe the Hungaroring as one of the years most physically demanding circuits. Air Force 1 Alte Bianche Outlet . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds."

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall rushed to the defense of embattled coach Todd Bowles on Wednesday, claiming Bowles has kept the locker room from fracturing and deserves to return next season.You guys do remember a couple of years ago, he was probably the most coveted coach out there, Marshall said. All of a sudden, he lost it?Bowles has come under fire because the Jets are 3-9, including a 41-10 embarrassment to the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. Theyve lost four in a row, but the atmosphere remains upbeat, according to Marshall.Marshall knows toxic environments. He played for the 2014 Chicago Bears, which he called the worst environment and worst year Ive ever had. Ever. Ever.You can look at it from the outside and say this is a similar situation, but its not. That whole organization was divided. Thats not the case here. Were together. Were having a bad year. Sometimes years like this build teams to be stronger.The Bears cleaned house after a 5-11 season in 2014, trading Marshall -- seen as one of the problems -- to the Jets. Marshall and the Jets flourished last season, finishing 10-6 in Bowles first year and just missing the playoffs, but theyve encountered tough times.Still, the Bears situation was 100 times worse because their locker room was divided, Marshall said. There was a lot of division. There was division between players and there was division between players and coaches.ddddddddddddWe dont have that here, he continued. Weve had some tough conversations -- we hold each other accountable -- but were still together, and thats promising.In fact, Marshall and defensive end Sheldon Richardson engaged in a heated locker room argument early in the season. There have been rough moments, but Marshall credited Bowles with maintaining unity.The reason hes still together is because hes real, said Marshall, 32, whose production has waned. Hes a mans man. The best way I can describe Coach is hes a mix between Bill Parcells and Lovie Smith. Those are guys Ive been around -- total opposite ends of the spectrum from the outside, but great guys to play for.Owner Woody Johnson hasnt made any public comments about Bowles future, but sources say he has been supportive behind the scenes. He could be waiting to see how the Jets finish the season. Theyre favored on the road this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers (1-11), who have dropped 11 straight.After benching QB?Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bowles will start the unproven Bryce Petty, who is 0-1 as a starter. Marshall, whose own future is cloudy, preached continuity.Sometimes you blow up stuff and you think its the answer and its not, he said. ' ' '
