Kimi Raikkonen says he would take little satisfaction from finishing ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel in the drivers standings in 2016 if Ferrari is not winning races.The Finn is currently fourth in the championship and seven points clear of Vettel, having outscored the German seven times so far this season, as well as out qualifying him on six occasions. While Raikkonen has enjoyed his best season since his return to Ferrari in 2014, the Italian outfit is yet to build upon the three wins it achieved in 2015.When asked in Thursdays drivers press conference at Suzuka if it would make a difference to him if he finished third, fourth or fifth in the standings, or if he finished ahead of Vettel, the 2007 world champion replied: Not really, we are here to win and anything less than winning is not why we are here, or why all the guys in Ferrari work hard to try to be there. So obviously second is better than third but its not an awful lot in the end.Its been a more solid year and consistent I think and more smoothly but we want to be back at the front and fighting consistently, or at putting ourselves at least to have a good chance of winning. So thats the aim and obviously after that it depends on many other things also.We are lacking a bit of speed but we are not giving up and we keep trying and improving and Im sure well get there it just takes time. In a way its been better than the last few years but its still not what we want.Despite already recording 10 points more this year compared to the whole of 2015, Raikkonen -- who won the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix from 17th -- says he finds it hard to be satisfied with the notion of anything other than Ferrari competing at the front for race victories.Its a bit difficult to be satisfied where we are right now. Obviously we want to be in a better place and fight in front but this is what we have right now and we always try to do our best, obviously the places weve been recently, its not what we want and where we want to be as Ferrari but we have to keep working and giving our best. Hopefully sooner than later be up. John Riggins Redskins Jersey . Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et.

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Charley Taylor Womens Jersey . Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. Alistair Brownlee knows a thing or two about what makes a great Olympian and insists there is more to Britains brilliance in Brazil than money.Under it all we are actually a sports-mad nation, said the triathlon champion who became the first man to retain his title on Thursday. There is so much that goes on away from the funding. There is a massive sporting heritage and that gets overlooked.The same goes for Yorkshire, the county Brownlee is from and which could lay claim on Thursday evening to athletes who have won four gold medals, four silvers and two bronzes.Day in, day out we see people cycling, cross country races, people running, people swimming. The British support far out-weighed any other countrys support [at the triathlon]. There were easily more British flags out there than all the other flags put together, more Yorkshire flags than any other country.When we race in Leeds or London they have by far the biggest crowds on the circuit and it shows we love it. That has to count for something because it makes our pool [of participants] big.Money makes a difference too, of course. The UKs triathlon governing body was given nearly ￡7.5 million for the years 2013-17 from an overall Olympic payout to British sports just short of ￡274.5m.The money comes from lottery funding and is distributed by UK Sport, which uses a model that cuts investment if a sport fails to meet its targets for excellence.Triathlon has achieved its goal of two medals from Rio with Brownlee and brother Jonny taking gold and silver at Copacabana beach. The support from UK Sport is phenomenal, Alistair said. It allows me to sit down every year and see what I need to get into shape, access to staff, physios, coachhes physiologists, everything.ddddddddddddWe [Britain] have that attitude that the Olympics is everything. To win at the Olympics you have to turn up better than you are the rest of the time and thats a really, really important construct that we get right across so much UK sport.It comes from the funding model and everything else, and there is a great feeling of people doing well.The feelgood factor is particularly strong in Yorkshire. The countys roll of honour for these Games so far includes divers Jack Laugher and Chris Mears, rowers Andrew Triggs Hodge and Zoe Lee, heptathlete Jess Ennis-Hill, cyclists Ed Clancy and Katy Marchant and gymnast Nile Wilson, in addition to the Brownlees.Boxer Nicola Adams, who is assured of at least silver after making the flyweight final, will be added to that list on Saturday.I am very proud to be from Yorkshire and its interesting that there are so many medals across so many sports, Brownlee said. It would be interesting to see if it is relatively good for its size, because its quite a big place.On Thursday evenings standings, Yorkshires tally would have been enough to claim 16th place in the medal table, one place below Brazil and above nations such as Kenya and Canada.We have, like the rest of Britain, a massive sporting heritage which we make use of all the time and has brought us through, Brownlee said.[That comes from] people loving sport and endurance sport, going out on the Dales and out and about on bikes. People [there] love sport and that has been crucial in our upbringing and careers and long may it continue. ' ' '
