Sebastian Vettel was at a loss to explain why Ferrari could only manage to lock out the third row of the grid for the Spanish GP. The Scuderias performance had been encouraging all weekend prior to a qualifying session Mercedes once again dominated, while even Red Bull finished ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Vettel in Barcelona.I dont think it was a general lack of speed, Vettel, who admitted to making mistakes on his final flying lap, said. In all sessions so far we have been quite competitive. It was as much of a surprise for us as it was for you. Hamilton fastest as Red Bulls impressIts something we dont yet understand. Im sure theres a reason for it. Something changed, the conditions, something made us fall out of the window compared to the other cars.We lost quite a lot of competitiveness in comparison. Despite a renewed sense of optimism ahead of the season, Ferrari have yet to trouble Mercedes in 2016 and have been blighted by reliability concerns and first-lap contact. Neither could be an excuse on Saturday though, and they have not beaten their rivals since last Septembers Singapore GP.Qualifying in particular seems to be a problem for the Italian outfit, but they did not expect to be beaten to the second row by Daniel Ricciardo and Red Bull debutant Max Verstappen.But Vettel seemed confident when asked just why the Renault-powered RB12 was quicker than the Ferraris at the Circuit de Catalunya. Watch this weekends Spanish Grand Prix on Sky Sports F1 to see more of Kimi Raikkonen and Martin Brundle in a Ferrari 488 Today, they are, but i dont think they are in general, he added, before referencing the lack of upgrades the team had brought to the European season-opener.Im responsible for the changes as equally as the team and we were confident we were applying the right things. But I think we need to calm down.Vote: Which team has the best driver line-up?Under-pressure team boss Maurizio Arrivabene has been dogged by reports in Italy suggesting Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne could replace him with current technical director James Allison.Something went wrong for both drivers, he told Sky F1.

Mexico has been an implicit priority for the UFC in recent years. With its appetite for boxing unquestioned, theres a presumption that mixed martial arts will prove equally as pleasing to the palate.Former heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez (14-2), a Mexican-American, was trotted on media tours during and since his title reign. Flashy featherweight Yair Rodriguez (9-1), a 24-year-old born in Chihuahua, made his first two walks to the Octagon on Mexico-based pay-per-views.Joining that movement is strawweight Alexa Grasso (8-0), who will make her UFC debut when she opens the main card of UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson in Mexico City on Saturday.I feel proud of that, because Ive been training all my life here in Mexico, said Grasso, 23, a native of Guadalajara. I just want to show everybody that here we have all the resources.I couldnt imagine doing this in another country. Its going to be amazing. I feel all the good vibes of the people.Standing across from her will be veteran Heather Jo Clark (7-5), who has split two career UFC fights. The loss came to undefeated strawweight title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0).Clark, 36, is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt, but she didnt win her first pro fight until after turning 30.Grasso, conversely, began training under her uncle, a former pro boxer, in her early teens. That progressed into taking classes at his gym, which evolved into participating in -- and winning -- MMA tournaments. She made her pro debut at age 19, winning by knockout in 15 seconds. Her next pro fight five months later was also a knockout win. This time, she needed 12 seconds. Her last three bouts, all under the Invicta banner, each earned a postfight bonus.Everybody is expecting me to win. I expect it, too, said Grasso, nearly a 5-to-1 favorite Saturday. I know shes bigger than me. I know she has more experience than me. Shes a veteran. Shes really well-rounded. I have to be really careful in everry area, because shes really dangerous.dddddddddddd.For Grasso, theres a freedom in even being able to compete. Torn shoulder tendons required surgery, and then a broken metacarpal kept her out of the cage for nearly 18 months from early 2015 until this summer. She had three fights canceled in Invicta, one of which was a title shot, but bookending that gap were decisive wins over heralded prospect Mizuki Inoue (12-4) and Jackson-Wink MMA disciple Jodie Esquibel (5-2).No one likes to be hurt and be unable to do what you like the most, Grasso said. Every fighter and every career athlete has these things happen. All of the injuries were at a perfect time and moment that made me mature as a fighter and as a person.Soft-spoken with violent hands, Grasso has the tools, if healthy, to be capable of carrying the flag of Mexican mixed martial arts. She seamlessly combines a tight jab with an array of kicks and knees, showing patience beyond her years to pick apart opponents.While tactful and calculated, she shows a willingness to engage and undeniable toughness that demands attention. For most casual fans -- or those who dont subscribe to Fight Pass -- Saturday will be an introduction to Grasso. For Mexican fans, it may feel like an overdue return.All four of her Invicta appearances came stateside, meaning this marks Grassos first fight in her home country since 2014. But for hard-core fans and especially locals, anticipation is mounting for the UFC debut of one of the most promising prospects in the division.I was really wishing and praying I could be in the UFC in Mexico, she said. But that was just a dream. It was unbelievable, because I wished it a lot and prayed over it, and then it was true.It think will be really emotional. Its the dream of every fighter. Im just going to enjoy it as much as I can. ' ' '
