Nico Rosberg says the pain of losing the 2015 Formula One title to Lewis Hamilton at that years U.S. Grand Prix in Austin spurred him on to win this years championship.Rosberg lost the title with three rounds to spare last year, handing Hamilton the race win he needed in the final laps after making a mistake. After the race, a dejected Rosberg infamously threw a Mercedes cap at his teammate as they waited to take their place on the podium.However, Hamilton did not win again until May the following year, while Rosberg claimed seven victories in a row -- including the first four of 2016. Rosberg admits he was rejuvenated by the events in Austin.It really was a horrible experience for me to lose the championship to Lewis in the way that I did that day, said Rosberg in a video shared on his Facebook.I spent two days on my own after that just thinking about that. Im proud to be able to always come out from difficult moments stronger. I really manage to do that quite well, which Im proud of.And after that race I won seven races on the trot and that definitely the kick-start of this championship. I really gave it everything I had this year. There wasnt a stone that I left unturned in commitment and determination and in avenues to explore to become a better racing driver.Though a key moment in the championship was Lewis Hamiltons engine failure in Malaysia, Rosberg says the pressure did not start until the following race, where he won in Japan to take Hamiltons destiny out of his own hands.The changing moment was Suzuka for me, when all of a sudden had a 33-point lead and that meant that it was in my hands. Its mine to lose, because it was enough to do a second, second, second, and third or whatever. And thats when the pressure really started for me because it became real, the chance to win the championship and beat Lewis. Cheap Vans Shoes Ireland .C. United of Major League Soccer.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech is entering back-to-back games against ACC Coastal Division co-leaders North Carolina and Virginia Tech with a chance to still contend in the race.For that, much credit goes to Justin Thomas, the escape artist.Thomas may have saved Georgia Techs season with the signature game of his career, including two big runs in the fourth quarter, in last weeks 38-35 win over Duke . He finished with 459 yards running and passing. Even he was shocked by the total.You dont realize what youre doing until the game is over and you look up, Thomas said Monday. You dont really calculate it throughout the course of the game.With the Blue Devils leading 35-31, the elusive senior quarterback escaped a sack and ran out of the Georgia Tech end zone for a 46-yard gain to set up his go-ahead touchdown pass to Clinton Lynch.Georgia Techs three-point lead was in jeopardy late in the game. On third-and-17 from the Yellow Jackets 21, he ran left and right through Duke defenders on a 50-yard gain before finally sliding to a stop at the Duke 29.Coach Paul Johnson said Tuesday the intended receiver was also pretty much wide open on the 50-yard run. But Johnson wasnt complaining.Anytime he can pull it down and go with it, thats great, Johnson said.Thomas finished with 195 yards rushing with two touchdowns and 264 yards passing with two more scores. The 459 total yards were the most for a Georgia Tech player since George Godseys school-record 477 yards against Virginia in 2001.The huge game certainly gave North Carolina coach Larry Fedora reason to worry.The guys so explosive, I mean, he just proved last week, with his career best,, that he can beat you with his arm or his legs, Fedora said.dddddddddddd. Hes electric when hes got the ball.Fedora used the 50-yard run as an example Thomas can make everything happen within their offense.Thomas was named the Walter Camp national player of the week and the ACCs offensive back of the week.Georgia Tech (5-3, 2/3 ACC) plays No. 18 North Carolina (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday before facing another road game at No. 23 Virginia Tech.Thomas said he knows the compliments for his big game against Duke will end if he cant come through against the Tar Heels.They remember you for your last performance, so Ive got to go out there and Ive got to keep playing hard and Ive just go to match the intensity and keep moving forward, Thomas said.Thomas kept the Georgia Tech offense moving even though leading rusher Dedrick Mills was held out with what the school reported to be an upper body injury.Justin is playing better right now, and when the quarterback is playing better it makes everybody plays better, Johnson said.Asked about Mills on Tuesday, Johnson said Physically hes cleared.Asked if Mills still needs a different clearance, Johnson said There usually is, isnt there?Johnson provided no details but clarified that Mills had not yet achieved that clearance.Mills, a freshman, missed Georgia Techs win over Mercer on Sept. 10 for a violation of team rules.---AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Chapel Hill, North Carolina contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
