Claire Williams says her familys team knew Nico Rosberg would be a future world champion when it gave the German his Formula One debut in 2006.Rosberg clinched the 2016 crown with a gutsy performance at Abu Dhabi, claiming the podium finish he needed to beat Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton to the title. The German made his debut ten years ago for the Williams team his father, Keke Rosberg, won the world championship with in 1982.Though he set a fastest lap on his debut in Bahrain, the younger Rosbergs success was limited to two podium finishes at Williams, with a move to Mercedes in 2010 eventually paving the way to victories and the championship.When asked if he looked like a future champion when he joined the team Williams, the deputy team principal, said: Yeah, I think it was pretty clear. You know when there are certain drivers that come to you of that kind of material, and he was. I heard that hes won what 23 races, the highest number of races before winning a championship but then you have drivers that win world championships on less wins then youve ever heard of.Hes done a great job, hes done everything hes needed to do. For him he probably feels like its a long time in the making but he is a truly well deserving champion in this sport and I am really pleased for him.Williams thinks it is remarkable how Rosberg rose from the shadow of his father to become champion and says the German fully deserves the title, despite suggestions he only won due to reliability issues for teammate Hamilton throughout the year.I remember when he started his career at Williams. I was press officer at the time and they were doing a shoot-out with Nico and Nelson Piquet and I was there looking after them. Even from that point hes been absolutely charming. Hes been a great ambassador, hes a great all-rounder in Formula One for this sport and I think its a really well deserved world championship.He is the son of a former world champion. Keke was our world champion in 1982 and I think to achieve that and to step out of someones shadow, its not easy. Any child of someone famous has had those kinds of achievements in their life, its not easy to step out of their shadow and I think Nico has done everything that he has needed to do to prove that he is a worthy individual in his own right.I think that probably is as important to him as winning a world championship.Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey .

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers.Justice (retired) AP Shah, the BCCI ombudsman, has ruled that Pravin Amre is in violation of the BCCIs internal conflict-of-interest rules by virtue of his role as assistant coach of the Delhi Daredevils while also being a managing committee member of the Mumbai Cricket Association.Shah stated in his order that Amre couldnt continue holding both positions during the next edition of the IPL, and directed the BCCI to initiate appropriate action against him in accordance with the guidelines.The ombudsman, however, dismissed the complaint against former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar, which had suggested that he was in conflict by continuing to run his private coaching academy while serving as the director of National Cricket Academy.Both the complaints were filed by Nadeem Memon, a former curator of the Wankhede Stadium and a former MCA managing committee member.Shah noted that Amre should not have taken any position on the coaching staff of an IPL franchise while being an administrator. Amre had contended that his work with Daredevils didnt affect his honorary role as an elected member of the MCA managing committee.At the risk of repetition, the ombudsman stated, no administrator (managing committee member) can be on the pay roll of an IPL franchise. The BCCI is also directed to write to all the IPL franchises to clarify Rule 1(A) (B) of the rules on conflict of interest that the franchises cannot employ any administrator (as defined in the rules) as part of its support staff.In Vengsarkars case, Shah was of the view there wasnt any conflict as he was neither a coach nor a part of the selection process, and that his role in the NCA was honorary.dddddddddddd Shah concurred with Vengsarkars contention that his appointment as NCA director ought to be viewed vis-à-vis his stature as former India captain.It is an admitted fact that Mr Vengsarkar is not being paid any salary, and his appointment as director, NCA, is an honorary post (presumably in light of his distinguished cricketing past), Shah wrote. It is also an admitted fact that Mr Vengsarkar has been running cricket academies for 21 years.The ombudsman also found Raghuram Bhat, the former India and Karnataka left-arm spinner, to be in conflict as he worked at the Brijesh Patel Cricket Academy and the IDBI Academy, while heading Karnatakas Under-14 and Under-16 selection committees.Responding to an anonymous complainant, Shah directed the Karnataka State Cricket Association to ask Bhat, who is also a member of the associations managing committee, to disassociate himself from both academies.Rule 2(C) of the BCCI rules on conflict of interest clearly stipulates that cricketers appointed as coaches of Indian teams or national selectors shall not be associated with any private coaching academies during their tenure, he stated. In the event that Mr Bhat decides to continue his association with either academy, or any other cricket academy, then he cannot continue in his position as a chairman/selector of the Under-16 team.
