Stewards said in a statement that the Briton had escaped a more severe sanction “due to the fact that no clear instruction was given to the driver on where he should park the car after qualifying”. Hamilton told reporters he had slowed down, well inside the speed limit, before he entered the pitlane. “Usually there is a guy standing there telling you which way to go and basically there was nobody there, or the guy that was there was not looking anywhere, so I thought perhaps I could go in front of the group,” he said....

More position previews: C | 1B | 2B | 3B Hanley Ramirez is back at shortstop where he belongs, but he needs to prove he still belongs atop the position’s rankings.

The best players on a Bosman The Stade de la Mosson side finished a frustrating 2016 with a 1-0 defeat to Nantes last Wednesday - a result that leaves them 11th in France’s top flight. Montpellier’s first team do not play again until January 8 but Hantz has made it clear that any gastronomic indiscipline during their Christmas holiday will not be treated lightly. “The players were weighed before the break and will be fined €1 for every gram they have put on upon their return,” he told the Herault edition of France Bleu radio....

With that in mind, the Democratic National Committee is out today with a Valentine’s Day web ad called “Sweetheart Deal” (above). The spot sees Obama’s “Bush-McCain” formulation and raises him a hearty dose of… um, latent homosexuality. Marvel as McCain and Bush advocate for “making the tax cuts permanent”! Guffaw as they reiterate their opposition to “amnesty”! And gasp as they agree that “we should stay the course in Iraq”!...

And there isn’t much time to meet it: The formal agenda for the summit is to be settled at two upcoming meetings of NATO foreign and defense ministers....

Before this match, questions were being raised upon his inclusion in the Test team as a third seamer in pace-friendly conditions. The Indian all-rounder had managed just 10 wickets in nine Tests (14 innings). Though questions never raised upon his batting as he scored 528 runs in 10 Tests at an average of 35.20 comprising a century and four half-centuries. The maiden Test Century came in the third Test against Sri Lanka in August 2017, when he scored hundred off just 86 balls and also set the record for most runs off an over by an Indian player in Test cricket when he took 26 runs from an over bowled by Malinda Pushpakumara....

The next film featuring Harley Quinn is set to be The Suicide Squad, a half-sequel, half-reboot sort of arrangement starring quite a few new faces and boasting an adults-only R-Rating. While Quinn was very prominent in the trailers, some fans may have noticed that there weren’t many teases of a character arc for her or any kind of ‘bigger picture’ motivation beyond the basic plot summary. As it turns out, there’s a reasonable explanation for that....

At this week’s Rooster Teeth Expo, fans of the franchise were allowed to partake in a number of matches on the game’s now snow-covered Longbow map....

[UPDATED: We’ve added a fifth pre-order option - “Blue” Oceanic Armor Circuit and Battle Rifle skins from GameStation.] Spartans are about to look a little more chic than usual when Halo 4 arrives. Never before has a Spartan worn camouflage armor — armor has always been limited to solid colors. Each game in the Halo series however has allowed for players to customize more details with time, and with the Halo 4 pre-order bonuses, players may get an upper hand - visually speaking - in online multiplayer than their solid colored enemies....

The hunt began Easter Sunday when developer Jan Willem Nijman asked fellow devs to post their favorite gaming Easter eggs. Several developers took him up on the offer, including 343’s Patrick Wren. As a multiplayer designer who worked on Halo 5, he revealed the existence of a previously unknown Easter egg in Halo 5.

The Duck Hunt mode puts players in what looks like actual in-game TV with Duck Hunt playing on the screen. From there, the obvious answer is to shoot those ducks. The creative side of this mode rests in the fact that it’s really an optical illusion. The TV is actually a window looking off to a distant 3D environment where players fly up into the air as the “ducks” and try to avoid being shot....

The first episode does what any first episode of any series needs to do, which is to set the world and set the story. In that regard, the premiere episode does a fairly good job of laying everything out. There is the United Nations Space Command or UNSC which is the major earth military force that is fighting a war with insurgents on colonies that want to be free. Into that war comes an alien army known as The Covenant....
