NEW DELHI -- Formula One drivers anticipate plenty of overtaking in this weekends inaugural Indian Grand Prix after having their first view of the Buddh International Circuit on Thursday. While some drivers had concerns about the amount of dust and dirt on the surface before Fridays first practice session, they were enthused about the good overtaking opportunities and intriguing undulating design. The track was designed by Hermann Tilke, who is responsible for most of the recent tracks added to the F1 calendar. It features wide entrances to corners, which will allow drivers to choose alternative racing lines, aiding overtaking. "It is a new sort of philosophy with this overtaking, with getting the circuits very wide at the entry," Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher said. "It offers a good tactical perspective for overtaking, for having a good show, and hopefully make the Indian fans enjoy Formula One after this weekend." Ferraris Fernando Alonso said the Buddh circuit was similar to some of Tilkes other tracks, with a long straight followed by a twisty middle section, but welcomed the use of a more flowing final sector. "This one looks very interesting, especially the last sector," Alonso said. "The last sector looks very different, it looks very quick. Reality is very different to the simulator, so we will see tomorrow." McLaren driver Jenson Button compared the circuit to Spa Francorchamps in Belgium and Suzuka in Japan -- high praise as they are often cited as the two tracks most relished by F1 drivers. He was especially enthusiastic about the blind entry to the Turn 3 hairpin, which is at the crest of a hill, similar to the famous Eau Rouge turn at Spa. "It looks really good, it is going to take a few laps, may be a couple of hours for the circuit to actually clean up driving about," Button said. "But the layout; they have done a really good job. It has a good design, the entry to corners looks good for overtaking." Drivers were likely to be cautious in Fridays first practice due to the lack of rubber on the dusty surface, with consequent low tire grip levels. "It was still very dusty I should say," Force India driver Adrian Sutil said after his track inspection. "Still very dirty so we will have to see how it will be tomorrow morning." With both the drivers and constructors championships already decided in the favour of Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull team, the final three races of the season have less at stake, and Alonso said this could benefit the spectacle as drivers may be "more aggressive" and "take a risk in qualifying." Vettel has played down his quest to equal the records for most race wins in a season -- he must win all three to equal Schumachers 13 -- and most pole positions -- he needs two more to equal Nigel Mansells 14 -- but said history beckons in other ways. "People say what is the motivation but we are racing for the Grand Prix of India and its the first time we are racing here," Vettel said. F1 officials have confirmed there will be two DRS zones on the circuit rather than the standard one. The DRS -- or Drag Reduction System -- zones allow drivers to open the rear wings on their cars to catch up to the cars they are pursuing.

(Sports Network) - The Detroit Red Wings will try to complete an incredible comeback when they visit the San Jose Sharks at HP Pavilion for tonights decisive Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. The second-seeded Sharks won the first three tests in this best-of-seven set, but Detroit has evened the series at 3-3 by taking the last three encounters. With one more win tonight, the Red Wings will become the fourth team in NHL history to win a series after falling behind three-games-to-none. Of course, the Philadelphia Flyers pulled off the feat last spring against Boston, becoming the first team to achieve the ultimate comeback since the 1975 New York Islanders. The other time it happened was in 1942, when Toronto erased a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals. After recording a pair of 4-3 victories in Games 4 and 5, the third-seeded Red Wings evened the series at three games apiece with Tuesdays 3-1 victory in Detroit. Valtteri Filppula notched the game-winning score in the third period as the Red Wings took their third straight contest in Game 6 at Joe Louis Arena. Henrik Zetterberg and Darren Helm also scored for the Red Wings and Jimmy Howard made 24 saves for the victory. Detroit is the eighth team in NHL history to even force a Game 7 after being down 3-0. The Chicago Blackhawks did the same against Vancouver in this years opening round, but the Canucks took the decisive tilt in overtime. To be honest, I didnt think we should have been down 0-3, we could have won them all, but so could they, Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said. Thats how tight this has been. The Red Wings are 3-2 as the guest in this years playoffs after posting a phenomenal 26-11-4 road record during the regular season. San Jose is 3-3 on home ice in this postseason and was 21-14-6 at the Shark Tank during the season. The winner of tonights Game 7 will begin the Western Conference finals on the road, as the opener of that set is scheduled for Sunday in Vancouver. The top- seeded Canucks claimed their spot in the conference finals after eliminating Nashville on Monday.dddddddddddd Logan Couture tallied the lone goal for the Sharks on Tuesday, while Antti Niemi played well in defeat, stopping 42-of-44 shots. San Joses Patrick Marleau once again failed to reach the scoresheet in Tuesdays loss. The veteran forward has no points in this series after posting two goals and three assists in the first round against Los Angeles. Despite blowing the 3-0 edge in this series, San Jose is still confident it can use home ice advantage to win tonights all-important contest. Just ask Detroit. They lost three in a row and their confidence wasnt frayed, San Jose captain Joe Thornton said when asked if his teams confidence took a hit after failing in three straight chances to close out the series. Were a confident group, still. You work 82 games to get home ice in these Game 7s. Now we just have to make it work. The Sharks and Red Wings are meeting in the conference semifinals for the second straight spring. Last year, San Jose ousted Detroit in five games before getting swept in the conference finals by Chicago. Both teams were without key forwards in Tuesdays game, as Ryane Clowe sat out for San Jose and Johan Franzen was sidelined for the Red Wings. Clowe did not travel with his team to Detroit for Game 6 due to what is being called an upper-body injury. Clowe, who leads the Sharks with 13 points in the postseason, was replaced on Tuesday by Ben Eager and is considered to be a game-time decision tonight. Meanwhile, Detroit was without Franzen on Tuesday after the Swede aggravated his sprained left ankle in Game 5. Franzen, who has two goals and one assist in eight playoff games this spring, was replaced by Mike Modano in the last game and is questionable for this evenings tilt. Detroit and the Sharks have met four times in the playoffs and each club has won two series. Detroit last ousted San Jose in six games during the 2007 conference semifinals. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
