Drivers are still not sure that Formula 1 is heading in the right direction with its proposed 2017 rules package, as the deadline for an agreement looms. The sign-off for the regulation changes, which could make cars five seconds per lap quicker through wider tires and increased downforce, needs to be made by Saturday and was due to take place earlier this week.However, Sky Sports understands race promoters who sit on the F1 Commission did not attend the pre-Russian GP meeting, and the matter will now be decided by electronic vote. Team bosses appear to be split on whether the changes are good for the sport, with Toto Wolff and Christian Horner presenting different arguments, and it appears drivers remain unconvinced. Whens the Russian GP on Sky? The Russian GP is live and exclusive on Sky Sports - and there are a host of ways you can watch it. Our opinion was its not the right direction to go, championship leader Nico Rosberg said. We we were hoping they would re-look at it and double check the technical point of view. This is the way it is, all we can do is accept it. We hope there are some surprises. Maybe well love the cars, even more than now. Maybe the grip will feel great. Nows just about waiting and making the most of it.While wider tyres should increase mechanical grip and help the show, adding more downforce is only likely to increase the dirty airflow which currently makes it nigh on impossible for one car to follow another closely. Force India driver Sergio Perez was similarly unimpressed by the proposed tweaks.I really hope we can see more competition between the teams, he said. In my opinion, F1 needs more competition, rather than downforce.Haas Esteban Gutierrez, meanwhile, added: What we need is to increase the mechanical grip of the tyres. Downforce would make following a car more difficult, but we dont have an option. Nico Rosberg is happy with his early season championship lead, but still thinks Lewis Hamilton sets the standard in F1 Daniil Kvyat seemed to be the only man in Thursdays Drivers Press Conference willing to provide a different point of view.It could make it interesting, the Red Bull driver said. They have limited time to prepare it so everyone might start in similar positions which could mean closer racing, perhaps.F1 2017: What are the proposed rules?If downforce is generated in the right way and with the mechanical grip from the tyres, it could be interesting for racing. To reach incredible speeds would be quite cool.The strategy group and F1 Commission were due to meet in London on Tuesday to thrash out the final details for the rules package and while the vote didnt go through and didnt include drivers, Rosberg is confident they will get more of a say in the future. This is after GPDA penned a hard-hitting open letter to F1 stakeholders ahead of the Bahrain GP last month, calling for a restructuring of the sports governance after a number of unpopular rule changes.Weve been trying to get more involved and its actually moving in right direction, the German said. The FIA are asking us more things now, they want to hear our opinion and theyre asking us for get-togethers. The process is going well, I think. With time, lets see how it goes.

PHILADELPHIA -- Atlanta Falcons rookie strong safety Keanu Neal said he did nothing wrong on a controversial fourth-quarter hit against Philadelphia Eagles?wide receiver Jordan Matthews?--?a play that did not draw a penalty for helmet-to-helmet contact in the Eagles 24-15 victory.Im not trying to hit the guy in the head, Neal said. Thats not me. Never in the game of football will I ever try to do that. Im not a dirty player like that. But I went for the strike zone. I lowered my shoulder. And I felt like I hit him in the sternum. I dont think I had any head-to-head contact.Matthews, naturally, disagreed.Yes, I definitely think it was a penalty, Matthews said. My helmet was bent. I had to get a new face mask. I had to change out my face mask and my visor. I dont know what they saw, but at the end of the day, we got the win. So I will take a bloody lip if we get a win.Video replay appeared to show Neal leading with his helmet. Matthews remained on the ground for a moment grabbing at his face mask after taking the hit across the middle. The unsuccessful third-down play led to the Eagles attempting 55-yard field goal, which?Caleb Sturgis?missed. A penalty, of course, would have kept the Eagles drive alive.Falcons coach Dan Quinn didnt want to dig too deep into the play but stood behind his player.Yeahh, I dont have any thoughts on it other than just the way hes taught in the strike zone is were going to try and hit someone as hard as humanly possible, Quinn said.dddddddddddd. And if theres a hit to the head, then we didnt lower our strike zone low enough. But Ill go back and look, but I didnt get a chance to see. ... But I can tell you [Neal] is clearly becoming a very physical safety, in the box, out.By no means is he taught to go up high or do anything thats out of whack. The leverage tackling that we do, we want to absolutely throw fast balls in that strike zone. And if that target is on point, Ill applaud that hit as loud as I can.Eagles coach Doug Pederson was asked if he got an explanation on the no-call.No, Pederson said.Neal could be subject to a fine this week. But he maintained his innocence.Never do I attempt to hit someone in the head, Neal said. Thats just not the type of player I am. Im not there to play like that. [Coach Quinn] always talks about the strike zone. You guys know Im a physical player, but Im not trying to hit the dude in the head. They didnt call a flag. ... I dont think I hit him in the head, but I didnt attempt to hit him in the head. ' ' '
