MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Nico Rosberg beat Max Verstappen to the fastest time in the final practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix by just 0.059s in a session that will be best remembered for a track invasion by a lizard.Rosberg hooked up a relatively clean lap in his Mercedes to set a 1:44.352 on ultra-softs, with Verstappen just 0.059s slower on his quick lap. Rosbergs time was marginally slower than his best effort in Fridays second practice, suggesting there is still plenty more to come from Mercedes in this evenings qualifying session.Lewis Hamilton had shown a glimpse of that in the first sector by clocking a time 0.25s quicker than teammate Rosberg but locked his brakes heading into Turn 7 and ran wide. As a result, he finished the session eighth fastest based on a time he set on the super-soft tyres.Kimi Raikkonen was third fastest for Ferrari, 0.508s off the pace of Rosberg, with Daniel Ricciardo a further 0.043s adrift after getting stuck behind a slow-moving Manor on his fast lap. Sebastian Vettel had to settle for fifth fastest after a mistake on the exit of Turn 7 saw him straddle the kerb and lose time, leaving him a total of 0.752s off Rosbergs benchmark.But it was an unusual incident under a red flag ten minutes into the session that really stood out. The session had been stopped in order to clear debris left by Pascal Wehrleins Manor after he damaged his rear wing against the crash barrier at Turn 11. In order to allow marshals to clear the debris from the track, the cars filtered back to the pits but as they did so they were were joined by an unusual visitor.Theres a giant lizard on the track! Max Verstappen said over his radio as a metre-long reptile scurried across the track at the exit of Turn 3. It stopped briefly in the middle of the track to let the Red Bull pass before running for the safety of the crash barrier on the others side of road. You came face to face with Godzilla then, came the reply from Verstappens mechanic as he cruised back to the pits. Once the circuit was clear of both debris and lizards, the session resumed with just a five-minute delay.By the chequered flag, Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg finished sixth fastest ahead of Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso, Hamilton, Carlos Sainz in the second Toro Rosso and Valtteri Bottas Williams. Sergio Perez was 11th fastest ahead of Fernando Alonso, Esteban Gutierrez, Felipe Massa, Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button.Felipe Nasr finished 17th ahead of Romain Grosjean, who again reported difficulties under braking. Marcus Ericsson was 19th ahead of Jolyon Palmer and the two Manors, which were over 4.5s off Rosbergs ultimate pace. Michy Batshuayi Belgium Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.

Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. Adnan Januzaj Belgium Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Ill make this clear before anyone begins to get too upset: Bullying and hazing have no place in organized sports, or in civil society for that matter.On that Im sure we can all -- at least most of us -- agree. The combination has ruined many lives, and wed all be better off without it.That said, Im still finding it hard to imagine who brought this up when negotiators for Major League Baseball and the players union got together at the bargaining table for their new contract .Uh, guys, weve been getting some complaints lately that players have had to dress up like women. Some have even put on lipstick, and badly. Before we get to free agency and the minimum wage, Id like to propose some new contract language that bans players from dressing up as Hooters waitresses or Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.To be sure, its not such a bad thing. If youve ever seen a grown baseball player in a dress and wig, youd quickly realize most are no RuPaul. Fellow players might find it funny, but locker room humor isnt always that humorous.Still, you have to wonder why baseball players seem to have such a need to be protected from everything these days.They cant slide hard into second base anymore for fear of either hurting themselves or the $20 million-a-year shortstop. No collisions allowed at home plate, either, because someone watched an old film clip of Pete Rose running over Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star Game.Dont even think of violating a pitch count, or a new-age manager like Dave Roberts of the Dodgers will head to the mound with a hook even when a pitcher (Rich Hill) is throwing a perfect game.And, of course, soon they wont be able to spit tobacco all over the turf, something thats been around in baseball for well over a century and helped popularize the spitball in the old days.Whats next, a ban on shaving cream pies in the eye after game-winning RBI? They can sting a bit, you know, and who can say there wont be permanent eye damage?Sometimes, these big bruising multimillionaires just look like babies. Actually, they did last year when manager Joe Maddon had his Cubs wear pajamas on the flight home from a tough 1-0 loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.That surely will be banned, too, especially after the newspaper headline the next morning in Chicago after pitcher John Lester was seen walking from the clubhouse in a onesie and cowboy boots.ddddddddddddCubs sent home in their pajamas after series spanking by Dodgers, it read.Some of the rationale for the new rule is that what happens in the clubhouse doesnt stay in the clubhouse anymore. Thats largely because of social media, which the players themselves can sometimes use carelessly.What is supposed to be a gag among 25 guys doesnt look so funny when its spread on Instagram or Twitter.Theres lots of pictures of baseball players dressed up as Disney princesses, MLB Vice President Paul Mifsud said.Theres also a picture of Mike Trout dressed as Lady Gaga in a 2011 rookie hazing that still circulates online. Trout seems to be taking it in good spirits, but you have to wonder if he will one day regret he didnt get to be a Disney princess instead.Yes, the line should be drawn at outright bullying and hazing. Richie Incognitos bullying of Jonathan Martin when the two were teammates on the Miami Dolphins highlighted the ugly and very real consequences of such behavior.But Im not sure that grown men getting paid millions of dollars to play sports need protection against everything. And while having rookies don cheerleader outfits or princess costumes may be a bit embarrassing and not politically correct, its probably not going to scar anybody for life.Not everything can be legislated, and not everything can be negotiated. Ballplayers will sometimes just be ballplayers, and thats part of their appeal.They scratch and spit, and do things sometimes that youd rather not see your kids doing. But then you watch them jumping all over each other after winning a World Series and realize that underneath it all theyre a lot like kids, too, only bigger.Oh, wait, no more jumping around. Someone might get hurt.A polite handshake will have to suffice.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.
