MONZA, Italy -- On top of the podium after winning the Italian Grand Prix, Nico Rosberg grabbed the microphone and launched into Italys theme song from its 2006 World Cup soccer victory, encouraging the fans below to sing along to the White Stripes anthem.Oh, oh-OH-oh oh OHH OHH.Talk about playing to the crowd.This race is unbelievable, Rosberg said before his rendition of Seven Nation Army.I feel that part of me is Italian in a way, because I have a lot of friends here and I grew up with the culture.The crowd in Monza is known for invading the track at the checkered flag and after 11 years in Formula One -- and many more as the son of F1 champion Keke Rosberg -- the multi-national Mercedes driver wanted to thoroughly enjoy his first victory at the Temple of Speed.Youre the best in the world, Rosberg told the crowd in Italian after the singalong. Thank you.Rosberg also proved best Sunday, winning virtually unchallenged after teammate Lewis Hamilton wasted pole position with a pr start.Hamilton got off the line at the same time as the other cars but immediately fell behind, dropping to sixth before the first corner.Rosberg, who started second, tk the early lead and cruised to his seventh win of the season, second straight this year and first of his career at Monza, which has hosted more Formula One racing than any other track.It was all down to the start, Rosberg said. I had an awesome start and that made the win. So it was all there.Rosberg also cut Hamiltons championship lead to two points with seven races remaining.The race is on with Lewis, Rosberg said. Its always going to be a great battle and I lk forward to whats to come.Hamilton climbed his way back to finish second.Its hard to overtake here, Hamilton said. Thats the best I could do with such a loss at the start.Hamilton attributed his problem at the start to an inconsistent clutch.My procedure was done just as I was supposed to, Hamilton said. We just had an over-production of torque and the wheels were spinning from the get-go.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen crossed third and fourth, respectively.Rosberg celebrated with a series of fist pumps when he got out of his car, playfully jabbing at a TV camera. Then he jumped into a group of his team members who hoisted him into the air.Already fastest in qualifying, Mercedes single pit-stop strategy proved better than Ferraris two-stop plan.It was the 21st win of Rosbergs career.After his disastrous start, Hamilton quickly charged up the field, passing Daniel Ricciardos Red Bull and overtaking Valtteri Bottas Williams on the main straight.Hamilton then went ahead of the Ferraris after their second pit stops,Pushing hard to catch Rosberg in the final laps, Hamiltons wheels locked up at the first chicane and he bounced across the speed bumps, costing him more than a second.Rosbergs winning margin over Hamilton was 15 seconds, with Vettel 20 seconds behind and Raikkonen 27 seconds back.I think we had gd pace but it was sort of expected that they would be quicker than us in race pace, said Vettel, who got the loudest cheers on the podium. At the end the answer was really clear.Ricciardo finished fifth and Bottas crossed sixth.Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Felipe Massa and Nico Hulkenberg rounded out the top 10.On a hazy late summer day, red-clad Ferrari fans lined the entire track, with banners dedicated to current and former drivers.Michael, All our thoughts for you and your family, read one banner dedicated to seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, who remains in secluded recovery from serious head injuries he suffered in a skiing accident in December 2013.You cannot describe the passion, you can only live it, read another banner.During the singing of the national anthem, fighter jets flew over the main straight, coloring the sky in the green, white and red of the Italian flag.Sn after the start, Jolyon Palmer in a Renault and Felipe Nasr in a Sauber made contact, sending both cars back to the pits with damage.

Pierce has been the Bombers starting QB the past three seasons, but has played far less than 54 regular season games across that span; the 31-year-old has made 28 appearances in his three seasons in Winnipeg. Theres no doubt if Pierce is healthy the Bombers are a better team - even a contender. But that is likely the biggest ‘if in the entire league. Pierces reckless style of play makes him even more of a target than most quarterbacks. Hes missed time with injuries to his knee, elbow, and head during his Bombers tenure. For his part, the New Mexico State product said hes feeling healthy and strong heading into the season. Pierce said he knows his health is a hot topic for fans and media, but its not something he is fixated on. Hes also lost 25 pounds this off-season in an attempt to be more agile in the pocket. Head coach Tim Burke and the rest of the Bombers orgganization have also stated their faith in the veteran QB, and the team made no moves to add any CFL experience to their backup ranks in the off-season, instead eschewing the only two backups on their roster – Alex Brink and Joey Elliott – to have started multiple games in the league.dddddddddddd Behind Pierce, the Bombers have just Justin Goltz - he of 14 career CFL passing attempts - and rkie Max Hall on the depth chart. Its no coincidence the Bombers East Division-winning 2011 was also Pierces healthiest year in Winnipeg, but the other two years of the Pierce era resulted in a combined 10 wins. Is Pierce t much of an injury risk at this point in his career to consider Winnipeg a legitimate contender in 2013, or can he recapture the magic – and health – of his 2011 season? The Rouge asks: What do you expect from Buck Pierce in Winnipeg this season? Youve heard what weve had to say; now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
