SINGAPORE - Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel is not feeling any pressure to clinch the Formula One title at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, and said Thursday he will attack the race with his normal aggressive style. Vettel is almost guaranteed of successfully defending his title, and if he takes 13 more points than Fernando Alonso in Singapore, he will take the championship with five races still to go. Given his dominance this season — winning eight of the 13 races and missing the podium only once — he could well clinch back-to-back titles beneath the Marina Bay lights. "Would, should, could," Vettel said. "So far we have not won anything. "Our target coming into the season was to defend our title. We are in a very good situation, so there is no reason to change that. It does not matter when, it matters to us that it happens," the German said. "I dont feel any extra pressure trying to win the championship here. We just have to remind ourselves what our goal was coming into the season." Though he can afford to simply accumulate lower points rather than win races for the rest of the season, Vettel is intent on asserting himself on the track — he showed that in the previous race in Italy when he muscled his way past Alonso. "It would be wrong to drive with the handbrake pulled, thinking I just have to finish," Vettel said. "If there is a chance and a gap, we have to go for it. If not, there is no reason to try something stupid." In last years Singapore GP, Vettel could not find a way past Alonso on the tight Marina Bay track, and the Ferrari driver hung on for victory. Vettel has yet to win in Singapore, and said the race ranks as the most challenging of the season: the calendars only night race, a bumpy and tight street circuit that allows no margin for error, a race time that flirts with the two-hour maximum and the heat and humidity of the city state. And that is not to mention the rain, which always threatens but had yet to hit over the first three years of the event. Alonsos chance of catching Vettel exists more in the realm of mathematics than reality, and when the Ferrari driver was asked Thursday if he had given up hope of challenging for the title, he simply answered "Yes." "In general he has been the best driver, and the best team and the best package, so they deserve to be where they are," Alonso said. Still, the Spaniard believes Singapore represents a better-than-usual chance for a Ferrari win and adding to the teams solitary victory this season in Britain. "Singapore is one of our best opportunities in the remaining races because the characteristics of the circuit are similar to Monte Carlo, where we were quite competitive there," Alonso said. "And we have the soft and the super soft tires, a combination that we like more. So it should be a good weekend for us, but victory is never easy, never close enough when we are fighting with Red Bull and McLaren." Cheap NFL Jerseys China. His team never recovered.

The former AC Milan defender and Italian national team stalwart is to play at least 45 minutes of an exhibition game Tuesday night against seven-time French League champion Lyon at Saputo Stadium. He will be joined by defenders Matteo Ferrari and Nelson Rivas and forward Andrew Wenger, who are to return from injuries to give the Major League Soccer club close to a full lineup for the first time in two months. "It gives us a chance to give them some minutes in a real game setting," said Impact coach Jesse Marsch. "So the timing of this game is quite good. "Well do it in a smart way. We know that we have a real game coming up." They hope to have all four players ready for a Major League Soccer match on Saturday against the visiting New York Red Bulls. Ferrari and Rivas are likely to be limited to 20 or 30 minutes against Lyon. The French Cup champion, whose official name is Olympique Lyonnais, will use the match as a tuneup for the Champions Trophy match Saturday in New York against French Ligue-1 winner Montpellier. The Lyon squad is led by national team captain and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, gifted midfielder Yoann Gourcuff and Swedish international Kim Kallstrom. They held a wet, one-hour workout in a thunderstorm before a sparse crowd Monday evening. Coach Remi Garde said he knows little about the Impact other that what he was told by old friend Patrice Ferri, who played for Montreal in the 1990s. "Actually, I just know there are some famous Italian players who signed with this club," said Garde. That includes Nesta, a four-time defender of the year in Italys Serie-A who is to become a key player in Montreals central defence along with fellow Italian Ferrari. They also have striker Marco Di Vaio, the former Bologna star who is seeking his first goal after seven MLS games. Marsch has been using only one forward of late, but with Wenger back, he will team the first overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft with Di Vaio for half the game to see how it works. "I know everyone wants to see Marco get his first goal, and maybe he scores and gets himself on a roll," said Marsch. "This game can serve many purposes." The Colombian Rivas also played in Italy. Montreal (7-13-3) has been the worst defensive club in MLS with 42 goals allowed, but they hope that will change with Nesta. "I feel good," said 36-year-old Nesta. "Ive only worked for two weeks. "To play in MLS I had to change my mentality because its very different, but when you go on the field, its soccer.dddddddddddd In Italy, the USA, Canada, everywhere." Against Lyon, he will face former AC Milan teammate Gourcuff. The Lyon squad is coming off a disappointing 2011-12 season in which it dropped to fourth place, its worst season in a decade. That put them out of Champions League play for the coming season, although they will participate in the Europa League. They are also living with the threat of losing some top players in the transfer market. Team president Jean-Michel Aulas has said he will listen to offers. Despite a reported $25-million price tag, Lloris has been courted by London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, while Brazilian midfielder Michel Bastos told reporters he wouldnt mind leaving after he was among players criticized by Aulas after the season. There is a chance the roster will be quite different when the transfer window closes ahead of their first league match Aug. 11 at Rennes. "Of course Im concerned," said Garde. "Its always a special period were living in, but Im ready for that." He said the club, considered the richest in France behind Paris St. Germain and Lille, has always been able to replace players who leave. Battling PSG will be tougher this season as the Qatari-owned Paris side has spent 100 million euros (C$123 million) on three players thus far -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Ezequiel Levezzi. For now, Lyon will face the Impact, and both sides will have a chance to give young players some minutes. The Impact have had a busy schedule since their nearly three-week break in late May and early June, playing two games per week, but the pace will slow after this week. It was suggested they didnt really need an international friendly thrown into an already hectic schedule, but no one is complaining. "Its been on the schedule for months," said defender Hassoun Camara, the Impacts lone French player. "Its up to us to make it a positive, to bring back players who had injuries. "It will help them get ready to play New York." Many MLS squads play exhibitions against European clubs. Marsch recalls playing against Nesta and AC Milan when he was a player with the Chicago Fire. "Any time you have these summer friendlies, the teams arent quite fit, but you find out quickly the talent level on the field is so good that if youre not disciplined and organized, they can make you look bad real quick," said Marsch. "So certainly we have to be organized and disciplined, especially in the beginning of the game, so that as the game goes on our fitness will start to pay off a bit." ' ' '
