SAN DIEGO --?Giancarlo Stanton wore out Petco Park with a record display of power in the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night, peppering every landmark from the left-field corner to center field.Stanton hit 20 homers in the final round to best defending champion Todd Frazier of the Chicago White Sox. Overall, the Miami Marlins slugger hit a record 61 homers, shattering the single-night mark of 41 by Bobby Abreu in 2005.Stantons impressive shots hit the top level of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in the left-field corner and the top of the batters eye in center field.He sent several balls just below the giant scoreboard high atop the left-field stands and several over the bullpens in left-center.For sure, being on the West Coast and taking the flight out here just for this, you know. I figure its a waste if I dont bring this bad boy home, Stanton said, hoisting the trophy.The three-time All-Star is not on the National League roster for Tuesday nights game after batting .233 with 20 homers and 50 RBIs before the break.I had a great time. I had a blast.Literally.His longest shot was estimated at 497 feet. He hit the eight longest homers of the competition and 20 of the 21 deepest drives.When I get a few in a row, I would kind of bump it up 5 to 10 percent, he said.?But most the time I stuck at 80-90 percent. I knew I could do it, endurance-wise. I was just hoping my swing didnt fall about.Stanton can defend his title at home next year when the Marlins host the All-Star Game.That is where I got my childhood memories, watching the Home Run Derby as a kid, said Stanton, whos from Los Angeles.Maybe some kids are watching me. I would like to return that.Stanton is baseballs highest-paid player with a $325 million, 13-year deal. His new hitting coach is home run king Barry Bonds.Frazier, whos not on the American League All-Star team, hit 13 in the final round. He was a hometown winner last year while with the Cincinnati Reds. He was traded to the White Sox in December.The Western Metal Supply Co. building served as one of the better Derby targets, joining the Warehouse at Baltimores Camden Yards in 1993 and McCovey Cove outside San Franciscos AT&T Park in 2007, which were all targets for lefty hitters. Stanton hit 24 homers in the first round to eliminate the Seattle Mariners Robinson Cano (seven) and 17 in the semifinals to knock out Mark Trumbo (14) of the Baltimore Orioles.Frazier hit 13 in the first round to beat Carlos Gonzalez (12) of the Colorado Rockies, and 16 in the semifinals to eliminate Adam Duvall (15) of the Reds. Trumbo, who leads the majors with 28 homers, had two of the most impressive shots of the night, off the scoreboard in left field and onto the top of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in his semifinal matchup against Stanton.Wil Myers of the San Diego Padres tried to become the second hometown player to win the Derby. With younger brother Beau -- an infielder-outfielder at Appalachian State -- pitching to him, Myers hit 10 homers in the first round and was eliminated by Duvall with 11. Beau Myers hit his brother with a pitch early in the four-minute period, and nearly nicked him another time.

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- The Strategy Group has proposed a rethink of F1s start procedures to ensure wet conditions do not lead to races starting behind the Safety Car. ?After a downpour ahead of the start of the British Grand Prix, several drivers complained about the decision from Race Control to start the race behind the Safety Car rather than allow a standing start from the grid. For the future, a compromise has been found whereby cars will complete laps behind the Safety Car to help the track dry before starting the race from the grid to provide the excitement of a standing start.The decision was made at a meeting of F1s Strategy Group on Thursday alongside an agreement to prevent teams working on cars under red flag periods in races. Under the current regulations the teams are allowed to make changes to cars, including tyre changes, when they are brought to a halt in the pit lane under a red flag, but in the future no work will be allowed to be conducted on cars.The changes still need to be approved by the F1 Commission and rubber-stamped by the World Motor Sport Council, but FIA race director Charlie Whiting is confident they will get approval for next year.The controversial issue of track limits was also discussed by the Strategy Group after the last three rounds of the 2016 season have seen the FIA clamp down on drivers attemptting to gain an advantage by exiting corners with all four wheels off track.dddddddddddd Some members of the Strategy Group proposed getting rid of track limits rules altogether, but the FIAs Charlie Whiting said it was voted down on safety grounds.It was proposed by some that we should take a completely relaxed view on track limits but I felt that was inappropriate and I think we should carry on doing what we do, Whiting said. My principal aim has always been to get the track to enforce the track limits, if you see what I mean. I think by and large we have done that, but there are certain corners on certain tracks that do present us with little problems but we are getting rid of them one by one.Here [in Germany] we have a similar position to Hungary -- Turns 4 and 11 in Hungary -- Turn 1 here appears to be a similar sort of thing, with 93 cars going across there today. So we have to think carefully about what to do for tomorrow. The difficulty of allowing complete freedom and letting them go very wide there and no longer taking any notice of it, is that simply there would be a different track fundamentally and it would be faster and there would be less run-off area - so we couldnt possibly contemplate it.
