SUZUKA, Japan - Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won a rain-shortened Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday, claiming his third straight Formula One victory in a race marred by a serious crash.With Hamilton leading teammate Nico Rosberg, a red flag ended the race on the 44th of 53 laps due to a crash involving Marussia driver Jules Bianchi. With heavy rain falling and visibility poor, race officials elected not to re-start and Hamilton was declared the winner. Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel finished third.Hamilton widened his lead over Rosberg in the race for the drivers championship but the race celebrations were subdued as Bianchi was taken to a hospital and is in critical condition.Our first thoughts go to Jules, Hamilton said. It overshadows everything else when one of our colleagues is injured and we are praying for him. Next to this, the race result doesnt seem significant at all.Hamilton now leads Rosberg by 10 points with four races remaining.The rain also disrupted the early stages of the race, with the first nine laps run behind the safety car. After the rain abated and the safety car came off, Hamilton did everything possible to gain on his teammate, who started from pole.Rosberg held the lead until the 29th lap when Hamilton got a better run onto the pit straight and blasted around the outside of Rosberg into Turn 1 to take the lead for good.The race was stopped after 44 laps after Bianchi crashed at Turn 7. He was taken to a hospital and is undergoing surgery after a scan revealed a severe head injury, FIA spokesman Matteo Bonciani said.Sundays race started at 3 p.m. local time. An approaching typhoon led to suggestions that the race should be pushed up to an earlier start but it wasnt.At the time of the crash, rain was falling steadily and it was getting dark. Several drivers complained of not being able to see properly.At the start of the race the rain became heavier and the drivers could only complete two cautious laps behind the safety car.After a 10-minute delay, the race re-started behind the safety car, but Fernando Alonsos Ferrari ground to a halt with a technical problem. The Spaniard returned to his garage and threw up his arms in frustration.Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo, who is a distant third in the drivers standings, finished fourth ahead of McLaren driver Jenson Button.Williams pair Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa started third and fourth, but both struggled badly in wet conditions and trailed home sixth and seventh.It wasnt the first time rain affected the race at Suzuka. In 2004, Saturdays qualifying session was postponed until race day after torrential rain hit the area.The next stop on the Formula One calendar is the inaugural Russian GP on Oct. 12, in Sochi, the Black Sea resort that hosted this years Winter Olympics.Beginning this year, a win at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Nov. 23 will be worth 50 points instead of the normal 25 in the hopes of adding more suspense to the seasons finale.

Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey . Still, Inter moved one point ahead of Parma in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League spot. Udinese remained 14th, 11 points above the relegation zone. Inter was beaten 2-1 by Atalanta at home on Sunday and has won only seven of 16 matches at the San Siro this season, as the squad seems to still be searching for its identity under new owner Erick Thohir and first-year manager Walter Mazzarri.CHICAGO - Normally, taking 35 shots to score 38 points is not a production level that any NBA coach would embrace.But no one in the Dallas Mavericks locker room had a problem with Monta Ellis line in the boxscore Tuesday night.His shooting numbers were a little unusual, but every time we needed a big shot or a big play, he made it, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.Ellis hit three free throws with 1.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter to tie it, then made his only 3-point shot of the game for a go-ahead basket in the second overtime that lifted the Mavericks past the Chicago Bulls 132-129.Ellis finished with 38 points, including his trio of free throws to make it 108-all. He was fouled by the Bulls Kirk Hinrich soon after crossing half-court, and kept the Mavs in the game.I saw out of the corner of my eye that he was about to do it, so I went into shooting mode, Ellis said. He ended up grabbing me and they called a foul.Because the Mavericks had no timeouts at the end of regulation, the Bulls wanted to foul intentionally — just not in that spot.That was my fault, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. I wasnt real clear on where we wanted the foul. With them having no timeouts, we wanted to foul in the backcourt. It gets real tricky when hes taking it to a scoring area and the guys facing you.Ellis, though, still had to make the free throws.One of the hardest things in basketball is to stand up there and make three consecutive free throws with basically the game on the line and little or no time left, Carlisle said. He stayed in his routine and just trusted it.Chicagos Derrick Rose banked in a 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer to force double OT.Ellis 3 put the Mavericks up 130-129, and Chandler Parsons added two foul shots. Rose missed a 3-point try as time expired.Dirk Nowitzki added 22 despite shooting just 8 for 22 as Dallas won its fourth in row.Pau Gasol led the Bulls with 29 points and 14 rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 23 points, Mike Dunleavy 20 and Rose 18.The Bulls had won two in a row. They droppped to 2-4 at the United Center in their first home game since Nov.dddddddddddd15 following a seven-game road trip.Of course, we want to win at home, but were going to get things clicking, Rose said. Were not holding our heads down. Its just a learning experience.Ellis, who was 16 of 35 from the field and 5 for 5 from the free-throw line, was asked if it was fun to hoist that many shots.If you come out with the win, yes, he said.TIP-INSMavericks: One of the reasons for the fast start has been the play of Tyson Chandler, who was reacquired during the off-season from the New York Knicks. Chandler was averaging 11.3 points and 11.3 rebounds.He brings a lot of energy to the team, Carlisle said. Hes a better player than he was the last time he was here, because hes refined some of his skills, hes more knowledgeable, because hes been with another franchise and played in a lot of big games the last three years.Bulls: Doug McDermont missed his first game of the season with a sore right knee. The rookie said the knee swelled up during the plane ride back to Chicago on Sunday following the conclusion of the seven-game road trip. If I feel better tomorrow, Ill play. Its nothing serious at all. ... Taj Gibson missed his fifth straight game with a sprained left ankle. Although he is listed as day-to-day, hes unlikely to play Wednesday at Charlotte because he hasnt done any work with the team.UP NEXTThe Mavericks are at the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.The Bulls are back on the road Wednesday for a game against the Hornets.BACK-TO-BACKSRose didnt finish consecutive games until Sunday at Brooklyn. After missing six games and parts of others with minor leg injuries, he now has completed three straight and the Bulls plan to play him Wednesday at Charlotte despite a season-high 36 1/2 minutes on Tuesday. Gasol (50 minutes) and Joakim Noah (36) also are expected to play after dealing with injuries recently.I dont see why not, Thibodeau said when asked about the trio. Well see how they feel tomorrow.
