MONTREAL -- No one knows better than Jenson Button that wild, crazy things can happen at the Canadian Grand Prix. The Englishman who won perhaps the zaniest of the 32 races held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve since 1978 for McLaren Mercedes in the pouring rain last year is hoping to repeat that feat and get back into the Formula One drivers championship race at the same time. Button won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in March and placed second two races later in China, but since then has dropped to seventh in the standings as he failed to finish twice between a ninth place finish in Spain. Happily for the 32-year-old, hes still in the hunt as Formula One has been a wide open competition with six different winners in as many races so far. "I dont think anyones streaking ahead in the championship," Button said Thursday. "Its been a very mixed bag in the first six races. "The last three havent been my finest weekends, so yes, I need to score some points this weekend to get it back on track. We all come here aiming for a victory, but as weve seen, just consistently being in the double figures in points (top five) is key to fighting at a front. "Im looking forward to the weekend. Ive had some special memories here." This years hot topic is threats by protesters to disrupt Grand Prix events after weeks of demonstrations in the city that started with students opposed to a government plan to hike university tuition fees. Whether they will do anything to try to impede the race is unknown. Last year, it was a torrential downpour that forced a more-than two-hour delay in mid-race. It took four hours four minutes and 39 seconds to complete. Button started seventh on the grid and survived early contact as he bumped teammate Lewis Hamilton out of the race. He was given a stop-and-go penalty for speeding in pit lane which dropped him to last place. He made six stops, mostly for tire changes as the track got wetter or drier. And then he passed series leader Sebastien Vettels Red Bull in a thrilling final lap to claim the victory. "After any win, its a special feeling celebrating with your friends and family and the team, but that one was very different," Button recalled. "I wouldnt say it was shock victory, but it was unexpected at many points during the race. "It really did mean a lot. The adrenaline was still pumping through my veins for many hours after. Ive watched it back. With 10 laps to go, youd think it was impossible that I won that Grand Prix." The year before, Button had finished second as Hamilton won his second Canadian Grand Prix, so it is a track where the McLaren Mercedes has done well. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a different test from most F1 layouts, with its long straightaways leading into slow chicanes and one hairpin. It punishes cars with high speeds and heavy braking. It can also be a slippery track, where crashes and other mishaps are common. Which cars will do best is anyones guess in this season of surprises. After Buttons win, two-time world champion Fernando Alonso won for Ferrari in Mayalsia, Mercedes AMG Petronas Nico Rosberg took China, Vettel won for Red Bull in Bahrain, Pastor Maldonado got a surprise victory for Williams in Spain and Red Bulls Mark Webber took Monaco two weeks ago. Alonso leads driver standings with 76 points, three more than Vettel and Webber. Hamilton is fourth with 63 despite not yet winning this year, while Rosberg is fifth with 59 and Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus is sixth with 51. Button has 45 points. "I dont think theres any top teams at the moment," said Webber, whose squad has dominated the championship with Vettels two titles in the last two years. "Its very tight. "It looks quite sensitive to venue, to temperatures, to drivers. Its quite open and thats why were seeing different results, different podiums, different winners like we havent seen before. The teams that werent very good with the regulations last year, like Ferrari, Williams and Sauber, had a good step this year and came back very strong." Red Bull still leads the constructors championship ahead of McLaren Mercedes, with Ferrari and Lotus tied for third. The possibility of a seventh different winner is strong. Hamilton has won pole position three times along with his two wins in Montreal and is hungry. Raikkonen, the 2005 winner, is also seeking a first victory for a Lotus team with Frenchman Romain Grosjean that finished second and third in Bahrain and third and fourth in Spain. And there is seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who has a record seven Canadian Grand Prix wins, although the last was in 2004. Or Sergio Perez of Mexico, who grabbed a surprise second place at Malaysia for Sauber. "Theres a chance for every driver to have a nice surprise," said Perez. The Red Bull Renault cars have won 22 races over the last three seasons, but have never won in Montreal. Webber hopes to change that. He said the car didnt suit the track well until last year, when they placed second and third. "Seb was very close last year but lost concentration at the end and Jenson was there to capitalize," the Australian driver said. "Judging by how the start of the season has gone theres every reason we can do well here. "We come here confident but not crazy on confidence. Renault hasnt won here since Fernando (Alonso in 2006), so its a bit of a scalp that would be nice to get." cheap coach handbags . -- Mark Jackson received a congratulatory text message from Hall of Famer Reggie Miller that might have seemed a bit strange after his Golden State Warriors grinded out a win against the Western Conferences worst team. coach factory outlet .

Now the accomplished defender will turn the page in his soccer career and try something different as he moves into the coaching world with Toronto FC. After carrying two jobs for the past two weeks, the uncertainty surrounding Nelsens arrival in Toronto ended on Tuesday when the 35-year-old announced he would be leaving Queens Park Rangers at the end of January to join Toronto FC on a full-time basis. Its great news for Toronto FC, and a scenario that the club likely always knew was coming. I get the impression when they introduced Nelsen as head coach in early January, Toronto FC was well aware of his arrival date – they just couldnt say anything as they didnt want to step on QPRs toes. If they had made it clear then that Nelsen had just three weeks left in the English Premier League, it would have severely driven up the transfer fee for any defender QPR boss Harry Redknapp was trying to sign as a replacement. Its a shame there wasnt a way around the situation as the confusion about his start date really did create a cloud around the appointment of Nelsen. With Nelsens arrival time settled, as of next week, he will be concentrating full-time on his new career as a head coach. He will likely play his final game for QPR when they take on Premier League champions Manchester City at Loftus Road on Tuesday, and then hell join up with the TFC squad for pre-season training in Florida. Theres little doubt the leadership skills shown by the New Zealander during his impressive career will stand him in good stead as he takes charge of the team, but a lack of coaching experience is something that will continue to be a talking point. I got the chance to talk with Nelsen this week at Toronto FCs media day. Hes well aware theere are skeptics out there, but is confident he can win them over.dddddddddddd "My whole career, there has always been people that said youre not good enough," he said. "There are always people out there that will be skeptical. Thats life." "I will put my head down and work hard. I really like a challenge and this is a really good one. Eventually, the only way of changing any skeptics is by putting a product on the field that fans can be proud of." We all know about Ryan Nelsens qualities as a player. Will he want a team that reflects the way he played the game? What can we expect from a Ryan Nelsen side? "Youve got to accentuate the strengths of every player when they have the ball and hide the weaknesses," said Nelsen. "Its 11 bodies with one mind. We must be organized and hard to break down. We should be solid but ruthless and when we have the ball, hopefully everyone plays to their strengths and we can entertain," he explained. There have been many times during its six-season history that the clubs fans have heard grandiose statements about new eras and winning mentalities, but every time they have so far fallen short. Nelsen has a quiet confidence about the task ahead as he looks to replicate the success he has had during his playing days. "I have a great desire to be successful and to win. Its in my DNA and I want it to be Toronto FCs DNA. I want to change the whole identity of this club. This organization and the fans are so far ahead of what the product on the field has been over the years; its time the on-field product catches up," he said.
