Daniel Ricciardo says mutual respect was key in his honest and fair duel with teammate Max Verstappen during Red Bulls Malaysian Grand Prix one-two.Ricciardo and Verstappen engaged in a breathtaking, wheel-to-wheel duel on lap 39 which saw the Australian hold firm and prevail despite a strong attack from his teenage teammate. As it turned out, the battle was for the race victory and not second position, as race leader Lewis Hamiltons engine failed moments later.Though both men were free to race until the end Verstappen never got close enough to challenge Ricciardo again, as the Australian recorded his first win since the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix. After the race Ricciardo paid tribute to the way Verstappen drove.It was fair and clean with Max, it was fun, Ricciardo said. That was the best part, I think we both enjoyed it.I saw we had an opportunity, and I was very determined not to let it go. Im sure he would love to be in this position, but hes also honest and fair and I think today we can both hold our heads high. Weve gained a lot of respect for each other.Explaining their duel, Ricciardo said it was as enjoyable as it was respectful.I could see Max coming, I think it was into Turn 4, I went to the inside but I knew hed probably switch back and get a good exit into Turn 5, out of the corner I had a bit of wheelspin and thought hed probably get me quite easily into 5 - but I just had enough drive to stay on the inside but he gave me room, we both stayed in it.So he had the inside at 6 but I held around the outside and fortunately there werent too many marbles, so you could run two cars side-by-side through there, which was fun, which was nice. So held that, then into 7 we tried to basically out-brake each other. I was a little bit on the cleaner line so could just go a little bit deeper into 7 and held off that time. It was cool. To race Formula One like that, high-speed corners, to be inches from each other. Its fun.Youre in the heat of battle, youre seeing red but at the same time youve got to smile. You know the guy thats two metres to the right of you is having the same amount of fun and youre both trying to take what was eventually the lead of the race. So its a good shot of adrenaline.Red Bull boss Christian Horner says this respect was key in his decision not to implement team orders for the final 16 laps of the race.I think that what weve seen is that there is a real respect between the two of them. They are both good racers, hard racers. I felt comfortable letting the two guys go head-to-head [in the final laps]. Cheap Air Jordan 1 For Sale .

DENVER -- Welcome back to Raiders-Broncos, a rivalry thats lost some of its luster in recent years.Now, both teams are 6-2 and headed for a showdown next weekend with the AFC West lead on the line.You have to go all the way back to Week 16 of 2002 to find the last time these old AFL foes had this much at stake in a game against one another.The Raiders won that one, 28-16, ending Denvers hopes of taking the division, sending Brian Griese to the bench, Steve Beuerlein to the huddle and the Broncos on an offseason quarterback quest that ended with Jake Plummer under center in Denver.The Broncos and Raiders both stayed a step ahead of Kansas City (5-2) on Sunday in the NFLs top division.Oakland overcame 23 penalties to beat Tampa Bay 30-24 in overtime. Then, Denver beat San Diego 27-19 by hitting Philip Rivers 17 times, batting down 13 of his passes, picking off three other throws and sacking him four times.Thats the type of defense that we play, said Von Miller, who had a sack, along with Jared Crick, Justin Simmons and T.J. Ward. Theres enough to go around for everybody. Its great on our team. No one is waiting around for somebody else to make a play. Were all out there trying to make a play from left corner to right corner and everybody in between.We feel like the next play is our chance to make a play for our team and that type of mentality really drives the type of style that we play on defense.Rivers took solace in this as he left: We split with the Denver Broncos this year.And thats saying something.Other takeaways from Denvers win that avenged a 21-13 loss at San Diego 17 days earlier:GROUNDED GROUND GAME: Rookie Devontae Bookers first NFL start was a mixed bag: a 3-yard TD run and a fumble at the 2 to go with just 54 yards on 19 carries (2.8-yard average per carry).It was non-existent, coach Gary Kubiak said of his run game just six days after it had produced 190 yards against Houston. We come out and go right down the field and look like a good, sharp football team and then we couldnt get out of our way about the next three or four series. Im disappointed. I know that we were missing C.J. today, but thats a done deal. We have to improve.Kapri Bibbs ran twice for 4 yards and Juwan Thompson ran once for a 1-yard TD.SAFETY DANCE: Ward and Darian Stewart both had interceptions on the day they were featured on the Broncos program .ddddddddddddI told him on the sidelines, `Stew, we both got picks and we was on the cover today. Weve got to be on the cover every week, Stewart said.Stewarts 25-yard interception return to the San Diego 10 set up Bookers 3-yard TD run. Ward picked off Rivers pass at the 30, spun around and made it to the Chargers 7.Ive been telling you dudes that Im a natural running back, Ward said. I just dont like getting hit.He was lamenting not getting in the end zone like Bradley Roby did on his 49-yard pick-6 in the first half, however, when Booker fumbled the ball away at the 2 moments later.DINGED DENVER: The Broncos were missing two defensive starters in linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring) and cornerback Aqib Talib (back) to start the game and lost cornerback Kayvon Webster to a hamstring injury.The Broncos also lost their defensive leader when coordinator Wade Phillips was taken to a hospital after getting knocked down during Robys return in the second quarter. He was released a couple of hours later and is expected back at work Monday.San Diego running back Melvin Gordon was blocked into the 69-year-old assistant by Miller, and Phillips was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field in a scary scene that concluded with him giving a thumbs-up on his way to the tunnel.With linebackers coach Reggie Herring taking over Denvers defensive calls, the Broncos had a goal-line stand in the closing minutes and picked off Rivers twice more in the second half.I got on the headset a couple of times and he told me shut the hell up, hes got it, said Kubiak, who gave Herring a game ball.BACKUP BACK UP: Cornerback Lorenzo Doss surrendered Travis Benjamins 14-yard touchdown catch and came down hard on his back. But he returned to the game and broke up Rivers fourth-down pass to tight end Hunter Henry in the closing minutes.OFF THE MARK: San Diego kicker Josh Lambo had a forgettable day by pushing a 45-yard field goal wide left just before halftime and watching Shaq Barrett block an extra point in the third quarter.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonCheap NFL T-shirtsDiscount JerseysWholesale NFL GearWholesale Nike NFL JerseysWholesale Jerseys From ChinaChina NFL JerseysCheap Nike NFL JerseysJerseys WholesaleCheap Jerseys Free ShippingChina Jerseys CheapStitched JerseysNFL Jerseys ChinaJerseys NFL CheapCheap Stitched JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic ' ' '
