Fernando Alonso is refusing to dwell on the fact it has been 10 years since he last won the Formula One championship, saying the anniversary is just a number.Saturday marks ten years since the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, where Alonso finished second to beat Michael Schumacher to his second championship for Renault. Alonso then moved to McLaren in 2007, missing out on a third straight world title by one point, before further near-misses for Ferrari in 2010 and 2012.Alonso switched to McLaren in 2015 but has endured two frustrating years away from the front end of the grid, though recent progress has led to encouragement the team can capitalise on next years big regulation changes. When asked about the anniversary in Austin, Alonso insisted his mind has been elsewhere.People keep telling me its the 10th anniversary of my second title but its not something Im thinking about, he said. Were so involved in what youre doing that you dont think about anything else. But when you see the photos of that day of course you feel happy and proud, but mainly with a lot of motivation to live something like that again.Alonso says the timeframe is irrelevant because his only focus is on being the best again in the future.It doesnt really matter its ten years. It could be five, seven or 12, its just a number, but what you want is to get closer to your goal that, in Formula One, has to be the goal to be the best.If youre playing a tennis match you also want to be the best, but Im competing here, in Formula One, and thats what Im trying to be -- the best and that means being world champion. Right now were far from that goal, because were not too competitive, but hopefully next year well get closer to that goal.Erik McCoy Youth Jersey .

Heinz Field is one of the NFLs most unique venues, and the Steelers have championship aspirations every time they take it. The Steelers ranked in the top 40 in seven of nine categories gauging the health of professional sports franchises. Affordability and fan relations need slight improvements, but otherwise the Steelers get gold (and black) stars.Whats goodThat the Steelers rank in the top 10 in both title track and ownership is no coincidence. Stability at the top breeds success, and the Rooney family is considered NFL royalty. Team chairman Dan Rooney and president Art Rooney II cultivate a family atmosphere at the teams football facility south of downtown Pittsburgh. The two are always around to interact with staff or shake hands with players. The confidence from winning six Super Bowls permeates the place. The organization, with back-to-back 11-win seasons, also has a realistic window for winning a seventh. If LeVeon Bell can shoulder more of a load while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is out, the Steelers could keep playing top-shelf football.Whats badThe drastic drop in fan relaations, down 25 spots from last years 31st ranking, is a bit surprising.dddddddddddd The Steelers embrace the blue-collar approach of their city and go out of their way not to seem arrogant. They are active on social media, with one of the most-followed Twitter accounts among NFL teams, while several prominent players interact with fans on various social platforms. Fans gave the lowest ranking in this category to player accessibility -- and autographs for stars, particularly at training camp at St. Vincent College, can be a challenge. The team also tends to focus on the football product -- as opposed to inspirational messages or splashy fan outreach -- a plan thats not always considered exciting or relatable.Whats newThe Steelers made significant jumps in stadium experience and bang for the buck (up 34 spots). Ticket prices are fairly high because of the tradition, but they are reasonable -- and at least youre likely to see a win. Heinz Field offers plenty of flavor, from the bright gold seats to the riverfront setting to the scarcity of bad seats. Fans can see the Pittsburgh skyline from most areas of the stadium, and there are plenty of activities and food options outside Heinz. Famous entertainers and musicians visit on game days, including Ariana Grande for the Week 2 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals this season. Overall, a 41-spot jump in stadium experience is a promising sign.Next: Baltimore Ravens?| Full rankings ' ' '
