McLaren caused a major surprise in Bahrain as Jenson Button finished third behind the dominant Mercedes drivers, who set a scintillating pace in Practice Two. Mark Andrews Stitched Jersey . On the weekend Fernando Alonso has been sidelined by a rib injury sustained in his high-speed Australian GP accident, Button delivered McLarens most eye-catching Friday performance since their reunion with Honda 16 months ago.Buttons best lap on supersoft tyres proved the closest anyone could get to Mercedes, although the laps of expected closest challengers Ferrari were compromised by traffic and driver errors. Sebastian Vettels SF16-H later stopped on track. When is Bahrain Qualy on? 4pm starts for both qualifying and the race in Bahrain on Sky F1. The Scuderias problems meant Mercedes were able to streak away by over 1.2 seconds as Nico Rosberg completed a perfect Friday of timesheet-topping laps.The German clocked a stunning 1:31.001 time on supersoft tyres, with Lewis Hamilton unable to get within 0.241 seconds of his on-form team-mate.When is the Bahrain GP on Sky Sports this weekend?Vettel had been half a second behind Mercedes on the soft tyres, but was already 0.9s adrift of Mercedes through the first two sectors of what should have been his quickest lap on supersofts before running wide at the final corner.He finished sixth, one place behind team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who encountered traffic on both of his qualy-style laps. Sebastian Vettel was forced out of second practice at the Bahrain Grand Prix because of a mechanical problem Ferraris problems then increased in the final 15 minutes when what Vettel suspected was an incorrectly fitted left-rear wheel forced him to pull into the run-off area, cutting short his race simulation.Mercedes are the benchmark, they have looked really competitive this afternoon and this evening, but hopefully we can be a bit closer, Vettel told Sky Sports News HQ. The car feels alright, there is bits and bobs we can improve.Like McLaren, it was a more encouraging P2 for Toro Rosso too as Max Verstappen finished a promising fourth between Button and the Ferraris.Red Bull and Williams continued to be closely-matched on pace, with their respective drivers Daniil Kvyat, Valtteri Bottas, Daniel Ricciardo and Felipe Massa filling out the final four positions in the top 10. Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel practice their starts during P2 at Bahrain Jensons pace was surprising - not him but the teams! Hes alright for an old man! joked Ricciardo. Even if Jenson was on five kilos of fuel that was a decent lap time.Haas had occupied a top-10 berth in the early session but slipped to 12th to 14th before running into more structural problems with their VF-16 car.The right-hand side of Romain Grosjeans front wing partially flew off when the Frenchman ran over the kerb at Turn 13.Stoffel Vandoorne, meanwhile, ended his first day in Alonsos race seat in 11th place, 0.7s adrift of Button. However, the Belgian lost most of his time relative to his team-mate in the Bahrain circuits first sector on his best supersoft lap. Practice Two timesheet1. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes, 1:31.0012.

The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then.As they get set to face their former captain for the first time Tuesday, its somewhat fitting that the Ottawa Senators have reached the halfway point of their season. After 41 games, the Senators sit eight points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. There was a feeling amongst a portion of the Ottawa fan base that once Jason Spezza was traded, their team would improve and become more well-rounded and complete. Trust me, I handled enough phone calls and e-mails at the radio station last season to get a pulse on the fan base in this city. Instead, in the first half of a season without Spezza, the Senators fired their head coach Paul MacLean and rank in the bottom five of the league in shots against. Spezza is now a tiny speck in the rear view mirror and yet the Senators continue to have problems finding consistency in their game. And now Im hearing some of the same complaints about the current captain – Erik Karlsson – that we heard about Spezza last year. He turns the puck over too often. He takes too many risks. His shifts are too long. And youll never win with him. In the never-ending quest to find a scapegoat, many fans have shifted the bullseye from Spezza to Karlsson. But the truth of the matter is that Ottawas problems run far deeper than any one player or captain. This is about a team that remains in a re-building process with a good core of young players. When you look at the roster and see the likes of Turris, Karlsson, Hoffman, Stone, Ceci, Cowen, Lehner, Pageau, Zibanejad and Lazar all under the age of 25, its clear that this is a team that should be built to win in 2016 or 2017. And at that point, younger veterans like MacArtthur, Ryan and Methot (if he re-signs) should still be valuable pieces to the puzzle. Throwback Ravens Jerseys. If there is a shred of good news in this disappointing season, its that the Senators front office has a great track record in the NHL Draft. Landing studs like Karlsson, Ceci and Lazar with mid-first round picks should leave fans optimistic that more pieces will be added this summer should the Senators end up missing the post-season. I dont blame Bryan Murray for thinking this was a playoff team at the start of the season because I think we can all agree that, if everything fell into place, the Sens would be good enough to challenge for a wild card spot in a watered-down Eastern Conference. But even in a season where young players like Stone, Hoffman, Ceci and Lazar have taken significant steps forward, its still not enough to push this team into a playoff spot at the halfway point. Right now they are on pace to miss the playoffs by double digits – somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-16 points. And that should be our clearest indicator that the Sens arent quite there yet. As a result, any debate as to whether or not you can win with a particular captain is simply a red herring. It was true about Spezza last year and it remains the same for Karlsson this season. When the core of this roster is mature enough to compete for a playoff spot – and Im now starting to think that might be in the 2016-17 season - then we can have the debate as to whether or not you can win with a particular captain. Until then, I think Sens fans need to keep their focus on the fact their team is still re-building – and not on who is wearing the C in this town.
