ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - In a widely expected shake-up, four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel will replace two-time champion Fernando Alonso at Ferrari next season.The 27-year-old German will be leaving Red Bull for the Italian team on a three-year deal, Ferrari said Thursday.The dream of a lifetime has come true. When I was a kid, Michael Schumacher in the red car was my greatest idol and now its an incredible honour to finally get the chance to drive a Ferrari, Vettel said. I am extremely motivated to help the team get back to the top.Alonso, a 33-year-old Spaniard who won his two titles with Renault in 2006 and 06, had said earlier this season that his future was elsewhere. His destination remains unclear, but he is expected to join McLaren.With Alonso sitting beside him Thursday, Vettel heaped praise on his new team.I think it will be a special journey, not even the first race but even winter testing, Vettel said. To step into the car, I think it will remain with you for the rest of your life.Alonso expressed his frustration with Ferarri last year after the Hungarian Grand Prix. That earned him a public rebuke from the team and led to rumours that he was on his way out.In five seasons with Ferrari, Alonso finished runner-up to Vettel three times, including in 2012 and 2013. He pushed Vettel two years ago — finishing three points behind — but in last years championship Vettel beat him by 155 points.Even the prospect of a new deal at Ferrari couldnt change Alonsos mind.I felt it was the time to find new projects and motivation. I was in talks even last year to be honest, Alonso said. This year I felt around summertime, September, that it was time to move.Alonso, who won 11 races for Ferrari and secured 44 podium places, thanked the team for not standing in his way.They could say, No, but this is a true sign of love and respect from this team, Alonso said. From Monday (onward) I will be a true Ferrari supporter.His final race will be on Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He is fifth in the overall standings and has managed only two podium places this season. His last win was at the Spanish GP last May.We offer him our heartfelt thanks for what has been an extraordinary adventure with the Scuderia, Ferrari team principal Marco Mattiacci said.Alonso entered the final race in Abu Dhabi four years ago with an eight-point lead. But Vettel won the first of his four straight titles with Red Bull that year.Alonso drove alongside Brazilian driver Felipe Massa for four seasons, but they struggled to match Red Bulls speed. Things got worse this season — both for Alonso alongside Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen, and for Vettel alongside Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo — with Mercedes winning 15 of 18 races so far and taking pole position in 17.The 27-year-old Vettels fall from the pinnacle of the sport was as spectacular as it was unexpected.After winning 13 races last season — including the last nine — Vettel has won zero races this year while being upstaged by Ricciardo, who has won three. Vettel has been on the podium only four times and is fourth overall, two points ahead of Alonso and 55 behind Ricciardo.Vettels arrival at Ferrari has an added advantage. He is good friends with the 35-year-old Raikkonen, the 2007 F1 champion with Ferrari.On a personal level, (hes) very straightforward, Vettel said of his future teammate. We have a great respect for each other.McLarens seats are currently taken by former champion Jenson Button and promising driver Kevin Magnussen of Denmark.Sundays race could be Buttons last.When youre in Formula One for so many years, 15 years, this is your life, the 34-year-old British driver said. But when you are put in an uncomfortable situation your eyes are open to different possibilities and there are a lot of challenges out there. Cheap Catfish Hunter Jersey .

Last year, Firus had the skate of a lifetime in the short program at the Canadian championships when he landed his first triple Axel in competition and finished third in a stacked field.PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosby scored his 23rd goal of the season and added two assists as the Pittsburgh Penguins ripped the New York Rangers 5-2 on Friday night for their 11th straight home win. Marc-Andre Fleury made 33 saves for Pittsburgh and Jussi Jokinen ended a lengthy scoring drought with two goals. Chris Kunitz also scored twice for the Penguins, who won for the 10th time in their last 12 meetings with New York. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma picked up his 231st career victory, leaving him one shy of Eddie Johnsons franchise record for coaching wins. Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves for the Rangers. Mats Zuccarello scored a pair of third-period goals for New York, but the Rangers continued to have problems with the Metropolitan Division-leading Penguins. Fleurys play had a little something to do with it. The Pittsburgh goaltender improved to 29-3 in his last 32 games at Consol Energy Center and is bolstering his bid for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team when its announced next week. Crosbys place is already assured. And four years after lifting Canada to gold in Vancouver, he remains at the top of his game. He pushed his point total to an NHL best 62 by setting up Kunitz twice and bumping Pittsburghs lead to 4-0 late in the second with pretty backhand from in front that Lundqvist fanned at as the puck hit the back of the net. Theres a good chance Crosby could be joined in Sochi by Kunitz, who has developed a unique chemistry with one of the games greatest players. Both of Kunitzs goals came on assists from Crosby. His 22nd goal of the season put the Penguins in front late in the first period and his 23rrd goal with 6:37 remaining blunted a late New York rally.dddddddddddd New York simply couldnt keep up. Ryan Callahan returned after missing nine games with a knee injury and while the Rangers were able to control play for several lengthy stretches, they never came close to beating Fleury while the outcome was still in doubt. Their best chance came early, when Brassard broke in alone on Fleury only to have his backhand shot deflect off the inside of Fleurys pads and out of harms way. Pittsburgh had little trouble capitalizing on the reprieve. Kunitz pushed a puck into an empty net 13:09 into the first and Jokinen scored his first goal since Nov. 30 with a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle that Lundqvist barely saw. After going 34 days between goals, Jokinen barely had to wait 20 minutes for his next one. He took a pass from John Gibbons and flipped a backhand by Lundqvists right shoulder while being dragged to the ice to make it 3-0. It was all the offence Fleury would require as the banged up Penguins remain on cruise control with the Eastern Conferences top record despite a series of injuries that have forced them to rely heavily on American Hockey League call-ups to fill out the roster. NOTES: New York forward Derek Dorsett injured his left leg while trying to block a slap shot by Pittsburghs Olli Maatta in the first period and sat out the final two periods. ...
