Mercedes has decided not to punish Lewis Hamilton for his controversial race tactics at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.In one last attempt to salvage his championship chances, Hamilton backed teammate Nico Rosberg into the chasing pack in the closing stages of the final race of the season. Hamilton needed Rosberg to drop to fourth or lower to be back in with a chance of winning the title, but ultimately the tactic proved unsuccessful and Rosberg finished second.Hamilton was told to speed up by both his race engineer and team technical boss Paddy Lowe, but ignored both orders, replying: Paddy, er, Im actually in the lead right now and quite comfortable.Following the race, team boss Toto Wolff said he was in two minds as to how to deal with the situation, but Mercedes chairman Niki Lauda has now ruled out a punishment.There is no need to say anything to Lewis, he told the Daily Mail. We have no problem about how he raced in Abu Dhabi. We have drawn a line under it.Speaking at the Autosport Awards on Sunday night, Lowe gave some further insight into the debate going on behind the radio messages to Hamilton.When I told Lewis to speed up the next debate on the pit wall came from Toto to tell him again, he hasnt done it, said Lowe. So I said no, then I will look a complete pillock if I do that again.James [Vowles] who sits to my right, is actually the most fantastic strategist. But it didnt compute with him that the driver wasnt going at the right speed. So he was struggling with that.And then it was well, make him speed up otherwise the graph shows well lose. So the conversation I was having was dont you think once he sees a red car in the mirror hell put the throttle in a bit harder?So we were having our own debates. But I put a marker down.

LONDON -- The fact that Serena Williams has a powerful serve was underlined at Wimbledon, as she recorded the fastest opening shot (124 mph) at the tournament on her way to her 22nd Grand Slam title.But on at least five other indices including women who played at least three Wimbledon singles matches, Williams didnt even feature in the top five.So, who ran the farthest, hit the fastest groundstrokes and put the most spin on the ball?Court coverageThe distance run per match could produce a list of the hardest-working players ... or the players who were given the runaround the most by their opponents. Either way, these five women -- four of whom ran an average of more than a mile each time -- certainly covered some ground.1. Agnieszka Radwanska: 1,988 metres2. Carla Suarez Navarro: 1,712m3. Ekaterina Makarova: 1,666m4. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 1,637m5. Venus Williams: 1,591mFastest forehandsThe only speeds which are usually displayed on court at Wimbledon are for serves and the fastest of the womens top 120 mph. However, second serves usually come in a lot slower and, when compared with these average forehand speeds, are not always that much more powerful.1. Madison Keys: 77 mph2. Misaki Doi: 75 mph3. Coco Vandeweghe: 74 mph4. Yaroslava Shvedova: 74 mph5. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 73 mphBrutal backhandsForehand power is a common strength, but backhand brilliance less so. Many players in the modern era hit double-handed on that side to try to get more speed and control and, given the fastest averages below, it seems to have been working.dddddddddddd1. Madison Keys: 75 mph2. Coco Vandeweghe: 72 mph3. Carla Suarez Navarro: 72 mph4. Venus Williams: 71 mph5. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 71 mphForehand topspinThe speed of a shot might be relatively easy to measure, and the values are certainly part of the broader tennis lexicon. The number of revolutions per minute (rpm) a player puts on the ball is talked about less but can be significant. The revolution count is a good indication of the amount of spin put on a ball as well as the technical execution of the shot, and these averages are impressively high.1. Svetlana Kuznetsova: 2,508 rpm2. Carla Suarez Navarro: 2,334 rpm3. Coco Vandeweghe: 2,333 rpm4. Misaki Doi: 2,294 rpm5. Madison Keys: 2,193 rpmBackhand topspinTopspin is most frequently a forehand weapon and is much harder to execute on the other side, but the desire to give a ball a higher flight and more bounce and forward momentum on landing is still very much there. These five women have good technique.1. Carla Suarez Navarro: 2,120 rpm2. Yaroslava Shvedova: 1,960 rpm3. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: 1,829 rpm4. Lucie Safarova: 1,828 rpm5. Madison Keys: 1,800 rpm* All statistics courtesy of Hawk-Eye Innovations.
