Sebastian Vettel admits Ferraris early-season reliability problems have caught them by surprise - but does not believe they are a consequence of the team pushing to catch Mercedes. The Scuderia have lost one car to unreliability in each of the seasons opening two rounds. Kimi Raikkonen dropped out at the Australian GP after a turbo failure caused an airbox fire, while Vettel did not even take the start in Bahrain on Sunday after his car started trailing smoke on the formation lap.Although Ferrari are yet to confirm the cause of Vettels failure, team boss Maurizio Arrivabene said initial investigations pointed to a broken valve or injector. After problems with their redesigned power unit during winter testing, speculation in Bahrain suggested Ferrari were still wary of pushing it to the limit.Reliability has long been one of the Scuderias strengths but, asked by Sky Sports News HQ if their recent frailties were a by-product of pushing hard, Vettel said: Not really.We sorted out our problems over winter and starting the season it was a surprise what happened to Kimi. Today was a surprise again so we need to understand what happened and learn. However, team-mate Raikkonen, who managed to split the Mercedes pair in Bahrain to finish second, accepted Ferraris push to overhaul the world champions was not without risk.For sure they will [improve reliability], but its sport where things can go wrong and things can happen, the former world champion said.Always pushing the limit sometimes things go wrong. Its not ideal, thats not what were looking for, but were pushing where we want to be, in the front.Raikkonen finished just six seconds behind race winner Nico Rosberg, although the German admitted he was managing his pace at the front. Ferrari were again beaten by both Silver Arrows in qualifying, although had been challenging in Q3.We are nearly there in qualifying, Arrivabene told Sky F1. Theres a long way to go, so we need to work hard and be concentrated on our performance on the race. Ted Kravitz brings you all the latest news following the Bahrain GP Speaking to written media later, the Ferrari chief admitted he was frustrated to lose Vettels car before the race had even started, although was full of praise for Raikkonens absolutely spectacular recovery after a terrible start.One, Im not happy at all because with this strategy and looking at the performance of Kimi I think we were able to do a very, very good race with Sebastian, the Italian said.Having said that, Kimi had a bit of problem at the start and I think that penalised him quite a lot because he overtook three guys ahead of him and maybe, and I underline maybe, he compromised victory of the race.The way that Kimi drove during the race was spectacular - absolutely specular. If you look at the overtake on the external part of the kerb with Ricciardo, he reminded me of the drivers in the old times when they were battling and they were brave. It was very, very good.

Cleveland would host the Rays in a tiebreaker game Monday if there is a three-way deadlock for the two AL berths, and the loser would play at Texas on Tuesday for the second spot in the post-season, Major League Baseball said Friday. Rays manager Joe Maddon insisted hes not thinking about the possible outcomes, preferring to leave all decisions to the front office. "Our guys are going to think it all the way through," Maddon said before facing Toronto on Friday night. "I dont have time to think it all the way through. I have no interest in thinking it all the way through. Im just concerned about tonights game and trying to get this right. If we do that, that stuff will take care of itself." Because each team split season series against the two others, winning percentage in games among all three was used to determine tiebreaker placement.dddddddddddd Cleveland (7-5) had the highest at .583, followed by Tampa Bay (7-6) at .538 and Texas (5-8) at .385. Given the choice, Cleveland opted to be "Team A" and host Monday, and Tampa Bay decided to be "Team B" and play on the road Monday. Texas became "Team C." If there is a two-way deadlock for one wild-card berth, the tiebreaker game would be Monday. Based on regular-season head-to-head record, Tampa Bay would host Cleveland, Texas would host the Rays and Cleveland would host the Rangers. Entering play Friday, there were 64 different possible scenarios for the final weekends results between the Indians, Rays and Rangers, 15 of which would require some sort of tiebreaker. ' ' '
