YEONGAM, South Korea - Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso sees no reason to change his attacking tactics at this weekends Korean Grand Prix, even though his lead in the Formula One drivers championship has been reduced to just four points over defending champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull. Alonso has won three races this year but hasnt taken the checkered flag since the German GP in July. His lead was slashed further when he crashed out at the first turn of last weekends Japanese GP, where Vettel earned a second consecutive victory. "Weve been attacking all races, the approach to all races is to get maximum points," Alonso said Thursday. "Sometimes weve been on the podium, sometimes fourth or fifth. We cant overdrive or over-do what is needed for us. This will not change now." Alonso had a 34-point lead after winning in Germany but was the innocent victim of first-lap collisions in Belgium and Japan. "We all need some good points this weekend, but its the same for everyone," Alonso said. "Weve been pushing all season and nothing will change in the last five races." Alonso nearly had his head clipped when Romain Grosjeans Lotus flew over him in a wild, multicar accident at the start of the Belgian GP. On Thursday, Grosjean, who was also involved in a first-lap collision with Red Bull driver Mark Webber in Japan, said he would do everything possible to avoid similar incidents in Sundays race. "With the team, I have spoken a lot. They are not happy, and I am not happy with the way I have been doing the first laps," Grosjean said. "There are 550 people working hard at Enstone and, if you ruin everything on the first lap, it is not good." Webber said he considered the matter closed after receiving an apology from Grosjean. "I went to see Romain and we had a discussion about it, so that was that," Webber said. Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen is third in the standings, 37 points behind Alonso, despite not having won a race this season. Mercedes-bound Lewis Hamilton is fourth, 42 points back. Vettel said it was too soon to count Hamilton out of the title race. "They are still fighting for the championship, I think that is their target," Vettel said. "If you look at the races since the summer break, the McLaren has been the most competitive car. They are competitive no matter where they go, so they still have a good chance." wholesale jerseys .

The two Manchester sides have had weakness exposed, but still remain unconvincingly the next best teams in the table.Brandon Sutter realizes his role as a checking-line centre wont be changing with his new team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. He does have reason to believe its a job that might have become a little easier. After spending the past four seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes having to defend against Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, Sutter now counts both as teammates. "I can remember coming into Pittsburgh having to play against Crosby or Malkin, which wasnt always a ton of fun," Sutter said on a teleconference call Monday, three days after being acquired by Pittsburgh in a deal that sent Jordan Staal to Carolina. "Im looking forward to being on the other side of that now." Another benefit in joining the prolific Penguins is the potential of a trickle-down effect Crosby and Malkin can provide in helping Sutter add a little more offence -- something he found to be missing in his game Carolina. "I felt there were times where I almost felt like I was stuck," Sutter said, referring to how the Hurricanes regarded him mostly for his defence. "I dont want to be looked at as just a defensive player. I want to score goals and do things, too," Sutter said. "Obviously, I dont know who Ill be playing with yet, but in terms of roster, their rosters obviously deeper than what were used to in Carolina. And a chance to play with more talented players, too, can help." Though it took a few days for the shock of being traded for the first time in his career to wear off, Sutter is findiing himself more excited about the opportunity to join a proven winner.dddddddddddd "Ive still yet to play in a playoff game. For me, Im a point now where its about winning," he said. "And obviously, playing with two big guys down the middle, playing behind them, is going to be a great opportunity for me." Sutter was the key piece of the deal for the Penguins in finding a player who could immediately step in and fill Staals role. At 23, Sutter is a 2007 first-round draft pick who has spent the past four seasons establishing himself as a capable third-line centre. Sutter had 17 goals and 15 assists in 82 games last year, with his best season coming in 2009-10, when he had 21 goals and 40 points in 72 games. As part of the deal, the Penguins also acquired defenceman Brian Dumoulin and Carolinas No. 8 pick, which they used to draft defenceman Derrick Pouliot. Staals long-term future in Pittsburgh had become uncertain after the player rejected the Penguins offer of a long-term contract extension. Staal was looking for a chance to expand his role from beyond the shadow of Crosby and Malkin, and also interested in joining his older brother, Eric Staal, in Carolina. Though they play the same role, Sutter wasnt interested in drawing comparisons between him and Staal, "Im my own player. I dont feel like Im here to replace anyone," Sutter said. "I feel like the Penguins had to make a deal. Im glad they picked me. Im going to a winning team where theres opportunity." ' ' '
