th 1,779 despite not playing in the fourth quarter

Mercedes have revealed they were on the verge of instructing Lewis Hamilton to take an emergency pit-stop from the lead of the Mexican GP. Hamilton had badly flat-spotted his tyres, causing critical vibrations in his W07 car, at the start of the race when he out-braked himself into the first corner.I had a glazed right front so it locked up and I had no choice but to go across the grass, said Hamilton. After this the vibration was so big I was like there is no way I am going to make, Ill have to pit. That would have been my race over. According to Mercedes, the data from Hamiltons car was so alarming that they would have pitted him but for such an instruction having grievous - and potentially fatal - implications for Hamiltons fragile title dream.The vibration metrics were scary from the beginning, disclosed Toto Wolff. Simon [Cole, Mercedes track engineer] and I had a private conversation on the radio whether we should pit him for safety reasons.In any other race we would have pitted him and lost the race. We kept him out there in order to not throw away the championship for him. Both Mercedes run wide on the first lap of the Mexican Grand Prix, whilst Pascal Wehrleins race ends prematurely following a clash with Marcus Ericsson. Hamilton himself had reported the vibrations over team radio when the Safety Car was deployed on the second lap of the race but was then, to Mercedes relief and apparent surprise, able to build up a substantial lead over Nico Rosberg when the race resumed.Every single lap, every single straight, we monitored the vibrations. Our team did a fantastic job of keeping that under control and then we pitted him a bit earlier because the vibration metrics were going sky high and a suspension failure could have easily happened. It was not a comfortable positions we found ourselves in, weighing up the championship versus a failure of the suspension, explained Wolff. While Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo argued Hamilton should have been punished by the stewards for cutting the first-corner chicane, the Mercedes driver, still haunted by his victory-denying breakdown in Malaysia last month, admitted he was simply concerned about finishing the race.Honestly I didnt even think about the stewards, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1. I was more concerned with the flat spot that was just rattling my brain for 17 laps. I couldnt see the braking zone for Turn One. It was such a big vibration I was worried the suspension would break.But an unimpressed Ricciardo criticised the leniency of the stewards, complaining: I also didnt understand the start, how you can be leading, lock the brakes, go off and come out in front. I think he deserved the penalty; I think anyone who does that deserves a penalty. Dont miss The F1 Reports review of the Mexican GP at 8.30pm on Wednesday on Sky Sports F1.

San Diego State returned to the Top 25 this week after winning its sixth consecutive game. While the recognition is deserved, it may not be welcomed as much because the No. 24 Aztecs have not won a game in the last 39 years when ranked.Since 1977, San Diego State is 0-3 in games played when the Aztecs are in the Top 25.Earlier this season, the Aztecs were ranked No. 19 -- only to lose the following week 42-24 to South Alabama on Oct. 1. They were ranked in weeks four and five but had a bye week before their loss to South Alabama.Aztecs coach Rocky Long wants his team to keep things in perspective.Im sure theyre happy that we are back in the Top 25, even though I told them that it doesnt matter until the end of the season, he said. So our motivation is that we want to win the rest of the games because theres a lot of good things that can happen after the season if we can win them all. We might get to play in a New Years Day bowl game; wed be the conference champions. There are incentives out there, but the real incentive is they get to play another football game.San Diego State (9-1, 6-0 Mountain West) plays at upstart Wyoming (7-3, 5-1) on Saturday.The Cowboys are vastly improved from a year ago, when they won just two games. Wyoming is tied for first place with Boise State and New Mexico in the conferences Mountain Division.Were right in middle of this hunt, we need to recognize that, but nonetheless its going to take a really good performance to beat this football team, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said.The CCowboys are coming off a 69-66 triple-overtime loss at UNLV last week but Wyoming has knocked off one Top 25 team this season, beating Boise State at Laramie on Oct.dddddddddddd29.Some things to watch for in Saturdays game:LIKE TO RUN: Saturdays game features two of the top running backs in the country.San Diego States Donnel Pumphrey is No. 1 in the nation in total rushing yards with 1,779 despite not playing in the fourth quarter in three of the past four games.Wyoming back Brian Hill is third in the nation with 1,417 yards.WILL DEFENSE PREVAIL: The Cowboys are the No. 1 ranked scoring offense in the Mountain West, averaging 38.9 points a game, but the Aztecs have the top scoring defense in the conference and are No. 7 in the nation, allowing 15.2 points a game.OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: Bohl said his players recognize that a game against a team like San Diego State is a great opportunity.A win for the Cowboys will go a long way toward helping them claim the Mountain Division and getting to the conference championship game on Dec. 6. San Diego State has already won its division and has a spot in the conference championship.I know this: when you step out on that field come Saturday you better have your chin gear strapped on because its going to be a knockdown, drag out fight out there, Bohl said.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
