ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch believes he can get himself into the discussion to be the teams starting quarterback?over the next month.When the Broncos closed out their offseason program, coach Gary Kubiak said Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian were neck-and-neck in the battle to be the starter for the defending Super Bowl champions. Kubiak added that it was not surprising that Lynch, the teams first-round pick in Aprils draft, was behind at that point.But Lynch said he believed he still could affect Kubiaks decision and get into the mix when he was asked Tuesday just before the Broncos rookies went through their second practice of the week.I definitely think I have the opportunity to better myself and put myself up in that position to play right away or sooner than I had thought, Lynch said. I knew those guys were going to be ahead of me just because of experience -- Trevor his experience in the offense and Mark his experience in the league and me being a rookie, and this is the first time Ive seen a playbook like that.That said, Lynch has reported with the rest of the Broncos rookies -- the teams veteran players report Wednesday -- after some time away from the team complex ready to push for more. He added hes not ready to step aside and let Sanchez and Siemian decide things on their own.The Broncos acquired Sanchez in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles shortly after Brock Osweiler signed as a free agent with the Houston Texans in March, while Siemian was the Broncos seventh-round draft pick in the 2015 draft and was on the roster throughout the Super Bowl season.Siemian was the teams No. 2 quarterback for six games when Peyton Manning missed seven starts with a foot injury,From a competition standpoint, obviously, as a competitor, youre not gonna say, Yeah, Ill take the backseat in this, Lynch said. Its my job as a rookie to push those guys that are ahead of me however I can.Kubiak has not announced any decision on naming a starter in the wake of Mannings retirement and Osweilers departure. Sanchez worked with the starters more in the offense during OTAs and minicamp than Siemian did, but when the Broncos adjourned their offseason work in June, Kubiak declared it a tie between the two.And Kubiak has said he wants to see one of the teams quarterbacks step forward in word and deed to earn the job. Kubiak has also said hes willing to take the decision deep into the preseason.The Broncos open the regular season Sept. 8 at home against the Carolina Panthers.

Ferrari has decided to take advantage of Sebastian Vettels disasterous qualifying session in Singapore to fix new engine components and gearbox to his car, effectively doing so without a penalty.Vettel qualified 22nd on Saturday after suffering a right-rear suspension problem, forcing him to three-wheel through left-hand corners on the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Ferrari did not have enough time to rectify the problem in time and it meant Vettel was consigned to starting from the back row on one of F1s most gruelling circuits.ddddddddddddFerrari has given Vettel a new internal combustion engine (ICE), turbocharger and MGU-H. All three components are the fifth in Vettels allocation, and therefore carry no penalty, but a gearbox change does -- though he cannot serve any of the five-place drop as he is already starting from 22nd.
