Daniel Ricciardo was left lamenting the timing of the Virtual Safety Car during Sundays United States Grand Prix, which he says ruined the closing stages of the race.Ricciardo jumped Nico Rosberg on the opening lap but ultimately had to settle for third place at the Circuit of the Americas after the Red Bull driver lost out when the VSC was deployed around half-distance following Max Verstappens retirement. The Australian believes he lost around 10 seconds to Rosberg, who took advantage of making what was effectively a free pitstop under the VSC.[Under the] Virtual Safety Car we lost I think 10 seconds it worked out to be with Nico, Ricciardo said. I believe after the pit stops we would have had about five seconds on him and after the Virtual Safety Car he had closed to five seconds on me. So that was frustrating.It just would have been interesting, even if he caught me at the end, just to at least have a fight. I think the race after the Virtual Safety Car became a bit not that exciting. I guess without it would have made it a bit more spicy at the end. So that was that.When asked if it made it worse that the VSC was triggered by his own teammate, Ricciardo, in a mock Texan accent, replied: Absolutely, Sir. When I saw Max out there I thought Ah hell, my boys done it again!Anyways, that was a devestational moment, but well keep soldiering on and we still got some points over Ferrari today so Im pretty pleased with that.Despite passing Rosberg around the outside of Turn 2, Ricciardo admitted he had hoped to utilise starting on the faster super-soft tyre -- with both Mercedes drivers beginning on the soft compound -- to possibly challenge Lewis Hamilton for the lead into Turn 1.I think the actual launch itself didnt seem that much stronger than the Mercedes on the soft tyre. I was hoping it would go a bit better, but then Nico opted to go to the outside so I had some room on the inside there. I got one at least, I was hoping to get two but that was better than nothing.I think the first part of the race everyone seemed to have a pretty similar pace, I guess Lewis was probably controlling it at the front but we seemed at the stage to be able to hold onto second.Jonah Williams Jersey .

NuckleDu and Ortiz were the most dominant fighters from the winners side and met in the winners finals to guarantee two of the top three spots from the tournament.[Things turned around] when I lost more than I ever had and the NBA got involved with Team Liquid. NuckleDu said explaining his slow start to the season.NuckleDu looked like he solved the Street Fighter V puzzle with his mix of Rainbow Mika, Guile and Nash to cover every matchup. He achieved his success by alternating his approaches between aggressive V-skill use and defensive zoning through Sonic Booms. NuckleDu dictated the ground through fireball control and was impossible to jump in on as a result.I believe I have perfect synergy between Guile and Mika because they cover each others bad matchups, NuckleDu said.Ortiz dominated through movement. She applied her patented offensive style by walking into perfect spots for her long-ranged normals to take effect. After that, it was a variety of mix-up options that dismantled her opponents. Both players came into the final day of Capcom Cup in the winners bracket and backed up their claim as dominant global threats.Competitors from Japan made up six of the top eight spots and showcased a variety of styles. All of the unique flavors of Street Fighter V, whether it was the slow and deliberate ground games of Team Razers Keita Fuudo Ai and YOUDEALs Tatsuya MJS|Haitani Haitani or the frenetic pace of all-out offense from GGPs Ryota Kazunoko Inoue, were covered. In the end only one player, Kazunoko, made it into the top three, however.Kazunoko, 2015 Capcom Cup champion, was in top form. His Rolodex of offensive options with Caammy left the majority of his opponents in defensive positions, and his unpredictable reversal predictions made him a true monster, despite falling short in the semifinals.ddddddddddddThe grand finals: NuckleDu against Ricki OrtizIt was Asian domination throughout the Capcom Pro Tour, but the Capcom Cup grand finals was a matchup of two Americans for the first time. NuckleDu crushed Ortiz in the winners finals in convincing fashion, but Ortiz responded with a similar result in the losers finals against Kazunoko. It was a leveled battlefield.It looked dire from the start of the set. NuckleDu continued his winning ways against Ortiz in the grand finals and did so by controlling the neutral game with Rainbow Mika. Ortizs hard reads, that did so well for her throughout the tournament, were baited and punished to the fullest degree, and the pace never ended up favoring her. NuckleDu sped the game up to his liking and slowed it down when he wanted to activate his V-trigger; it was his set to lose from the opening game. When it was done, confetti rained down on him, and he was crowned the best Street Fighter V player in the world.The lone blemish: character varietySeason 2 cannot come any sooner. The top tiers of Street Fighter V were in full display from the start of the Capcom Cup until the very end. In the top eight, there were three Chun-Lis represented, and most of the elite tiers comprised the rest of the field. If there was one glaring issue in the games balance, it was the separation between what was truly considered a competitive character and a tournament-winning one.The balance changes for most of the usual characters that made up the top eight during the 2016 Capcom Pro Tour are sure to come, but there cannot be a repeat of the repetition.The final rounds of the Capcom Cup will be rebroadcast on ESPN2 on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
