Sebastian Vettel has played down talk of a rift with Maurizio Arrivabene, saying he and the Ferrari boss ?have a very straightforward and honest relationship despite the Italians comments about his next contract. Roger Maris Yankees Jersey .Arrivabene caused a stir in Japan this weekend during a long interview with Italian TV, where he said the out-of-form German would have to earn a new contract when his current deal expires at the end of 2017. He also suggested Vettel was trying to get involved with various parts of Ferraris operation, as Michael Schumacher was famed for during his dominant spell at the team, saying: What worked with Michael might not necessarily work with Sebastian .... Sebastian just needs to focus on the car.Asked if he had read the widely-reported comments after qualifying at Suzuka, Vettel replied: I havent but generally I enjoy a very, very straightforward and honest relationship. I think as much as the team wants to perform I want to perform. I had races this year where I didnt do so, I wasnt happy with myself because there was more on the table but its been an up and down year.Ferrari expected to challenge Mercedes for the title this year but is yet to win a race, with Vettel losing shots at victory in Australia, Spain and Canada through strategy blunders. However despite the disappointing campaign Vettel says there is no negativity between himself and Arrivabene.I enjoy a really good relationship with him and I think if theres something I dont like Ill tell him and equally the other way around. I know that theres nothing between us, nothing that we need to sort out, and both our focuses -- his and mine -- are trying to achieve the same thing. Were trying to win races, get stronger -- especially in the future -- and thats I think where the main focus goes. So I dont know what sort of context [he said it in].Vettel insists he and Arrivabene share the same goal of ensuring Ferrari is competitive in 2017.In the end I think the results we had were not always fair and rewarding given the pace that we showed on different weekends but sometimes its like this. Obviously the main focus now I dont think is looking at that too much, I think the main focus is as a team to try and make progress to the end of this year.Obviously we carry everything we can learn this year still into next year, even though the rules are changing theres still a lot of things that we learn about this years car in general which will also help us next year.

AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James skipped college for the NBA. He wants to go back some day.James intends to take classes at the University of Akron, his business partner in helping get college educations for inner-city kids who qualify for a scholarship program he founded.Im signed up at the University of Akron for whenever Im able to get a little bit of down time, James said Thursday. Thats always been a conversation that took place, to take some college courses, take some classes. So right now I just do a lot of reading, book reading and obviously Im around some really good people that I kind of take their knowledge and sort it into my mind.As an 18-year-old James passed on college for the pros, becoming the No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He doesnt regret the decision, but at 31 and with three children, he understands the value of an education and plans to further his when his schedule permits.I love world history, he said when asked about a possible major. Im pretty fond of that. I love, like when I go around, obviously every summer traveling places, and its kind of unique to see how we kind of built things of that nature. Who kind of ruled places at certain points of time. Its pretty cool.Meanwhile, James isnt just helping kids afford college. He wants them to stay there and leave with diplomas.The Cavs superstar, whose foundation announced a partnership with Akron last year to pay for four years of tuition for high school graduates who meet certain criteria, has established an institute at the school to assist students.The I PROMISE Institute will provide resources to support students pursuing four-year degrees. The institute will be constructed in a space inside InfoCision Stadium on campus. It will provide around-the-clock support to students.When we first started this program, I wanted my kids to graduate from high school, James said. Jorge Posada Yankees Jersey. But the more we grow as a foundation, the more we find can be done to give our kids the best chance to be successful. We dont just want our kids to get to college. We want them to graduate from college. And we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to help them do that.The first class for the program is currently in eighth grade and will be enrolling at Akron in 2021. James foundation has established a board of academics from across the country to establish a curriculum for the institute and determine the best ways to help urban youth stay in school.If we want to be ready for our students when they get to campus in a few short years, the work needs to start now, said Michele Campbell, the foundations executive director. For many of our kids, they are the first in their families to attend college, so we want to create a familiar, encouraging environment where they feel safe and supported.Even before the institute is open to college students, it will serve as a center for high school students and their parents as they prepare for the college experience.James reiterated his commitment to helping others.My foundation is probably, besides my family, the No. 1 thing in my life, he said. Being able to change kids and families, giving them an opportunity to see better days, we strive to do that every single day. And I get emails and I talked to my kids weekly about their progression in elementary school all the way to the kids in middle school, high school and the kids that are going to be going to college soon. So, thats a huge thing for me.
