Christian Horner has warned Red Bull are only likely to get stronger over the second half of the season after moving within one point of Ferrari in the battle for second in the Constructors Championship. The former champions have cranked up the pressure on their Italian rivals by outscoring them by 36 points in the last three rounds to move to the brink of overhauling them in the standings.Despite predicting a transitional season following a troubled 2015, Red Bull have already scored more points and podiums than they managed last season, while Max Verstappens win at the Spanish GP is the only non-Mercedes triumph of 2016 so far. And Horner, Red Bulls team principal, admits those results are better than they could have expected before the summer break.Its massive, said Horner. Pre-season we thought wed lucky to be in the top five, so to be fighting Ferrari, one point behind at the half-way point in the season having won a race [is better than expected]. [Sunday] was our sixth podium finish of this season so far and to have both cars finish ahead in their respective battles with Ferrari was a great performance and great first half of the year for us.Were always confident the second half of the season should be stronger than our first half.Although the season still has 10 races to run, Mercedes already appear to be all-but certain to retain their constructors crown with the reigning world champions opening up a 150-point advantage via their one-two finish in Hungary. Natalie Pinkham went along with Daniel Ricciardo for his appearance on Skys A League of Their Own. Horner accepts that, for Red Bull, the next big opportunity for us will be Singapore in September. However, he insists focus on beating Ferrari over the second half of the season will remain strong, despite the spectre of 2017s big aerodynamic overhaul.There are bits [of 2016 development] weve got in the pipeline but a lot of focus is already on 2017, he said.Were also keen to challenge Ferrari and ensure we fight them all the way to Abu Dhabi.Dont miss the F1 Report: Hungarian GP review on Sky Sports F1 at 8.30pm on Wednesday as Marc Priestley and Ben Hunt join Natalie Pinkham in the studio to discuss the fallout from the Budapest race.

Howie Kendrick Jersey . According to Tony Barrett of The Times, the Liverpool captain is set to announce that he will leave the club at the end of the 2014-15 season.A group of womens soccer players have filed a gender discrimination lawsuit in Toronto against FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Association over their plans to play the 2015 Womens World Cup on artificial turf. The complaint was filed Wednesday morning with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, TSN has confirmed, days after FIFA officials started to inspect the six venues that will host the June 6-July 5 competition. The tournament will be held in Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Moncton and Montreal. The complainants include Abby Wambach of the U.S. and Germanys Nadine Angerer, FIFA players of the year for 2012 and 2013, respectively. The players who filed the complaint charge FIFA is discriminating against women by having the tournament on artificial turf since the 2014 FIFA World Cup for men in Brazil was played on grass. Some professional football leagues, including Major League Soccer and some FIFA World Cup matches, are played on artificial turf. Canada won the right to host the 2015 Games when the only other finalist, Zimbabwe, withdrew from consideration. The leaders of CSA and FIFA are embarrassing the game and, even more, themselves, Hampton Dellinger, a lawyer for the complainants, wrote in a statement. The gifted athletes we represent are determined not to have the sport they love be belittled on their watch. Getting an equal playing field at the World Cup is a fight female players should not have to wage but one from which they do not shrink. Ted Charney, a Toronto lawyer who has argued cases before the tribunal, said he doubts the women would win their case – or that it would be decided before next June. Soccer officials have said natural grass surfaces arent practical because some of the stadiums used for the World Cup are also scheduled to be used nnext summer for preseason and regular season Canadian Football League games.dddddddddddd Its tough to ensure a grass field is in good shape for soccer the day after a football game, the officials have said. Cases at the tribunal are not expedited very often, Charney said. I think this is a question of availability. If this was a mens tournament being played here at the same time and they, too, were playing on turf, then this becomes a question of availability, and I dont see how theres a violation. But theres no downside since the loser at the tribunal does not have to cover legal costs for the other party, he said. Its a free ride, a chance for the women to make a political statement. David Wright, another lawyer for the players, told TSN that there are methods to overlay grass on top of turf, and that FIFAs overall costs to outfitting fields with natural grass wouldnt amount to more than a few million dollars. Wright also said that no Canadian women are among the complainants because some worry about what the CSA might do after the fact. There is some concern on the part of players of going against the soccer association, Wright said. There could be various sorts of reprisals. The CSA controls the future of these players. Georgia Trifonidis, a spokeswoman for the tribunal, said that it can take several months once an application is received for it to be referred to a mediator. Mediation can take at least several months, and if the case is not settled there, it moves to a hearing by an adjudicator. Once a final decision is made, and the adjudicator can, indeed, demand the CSA and FIFA make changes to eliminate gender discrimination, either of the parties can still file a reconsideration request with the tribunal or take the case to Ontario Superior Court.
