Claire Williams has confirmed Williams has no plans to provide Lance Stroll with a Formula One practice outing before the end of the 2016 season.The Grove-based outfit is currently embroiled in a tight battle over fourth place in the constructors championship with Force India. Williams ruled out the possibility of Stroll making his F1 practice debut this year, stating the importance of allowing current drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa as much running time as possible, as the team looks to overhaul a nine-point deficit to Force India.There are no plans [to run Stroll], Williams said. Were in a very critical time with the team trying to challenge Force India for that fourth place. Felipe is also retiring, so it wouldnt be fair on either driver to do that.The decision means Stroll faces the prospect of heading into his debut F1 campaign in 2017 -- and the start of a new regulation era -- with only a handful of days experience behind the wheel of a 2014 Williams FW36. Williams says she is not concerned by the likelihood of Stroll making mistakes in his rookie year.The one thing I have learnt about Lance over the 12 months weve been working closely with him is his work ethic is second to none for a 18-year-old to achieve what he has in such a short space of time, I have a huge amount of confidence that when he gets into the cockpit in Melbourne he can deliver.But he will need some time like any rookie does in this sport to bed in. There may be some mistakes but that is going to be an inevitability, but we already know from Lance that he learns from his mistakes quickly.Stroll will make the jump straight from European Formula 3 to F1, following a similar career path to that of Bottas, who himself bypassed GP2 to prioritise test and reserve driver roles with Williams. The 18-year-old says he has no doubts over his ability to make a successful transition to F1, after winning this years F3 title.I won the last round of 2015 and came into 2016 with a lot of confidence, the Canadian explained. I knew the speed was there and knew that we were capable of winning races and even fighting for the championship. It was just about putting all the details together. We knew we could win but dominating the championship the way we did was definitely a year to remember.The reason for not doing GP2 is that F3 is a very high level, and if the opportunity for Formula One arises nothing prepares you for Formula One like actually competing in Formula One. GP2 is a step up and its that middle step, one that is sometimes good to make, but I dont think anything actually compares to actually competing in Formula One. Duane Ward Blue Jays Jersey .

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- For someone who is not completely comfortable in the spotlight, Lamar Jackson has come to embrace it all: the speeches, the truckload of trophies, even all those tweets about his outfits.But after a week of awards shows, interviews and photo opportunities, the Louisville sophomore quarterback is just hungry to just get back to the place that made him the most decorated college football player of the year.It feels like I havent played football in a year, Ive been away so long, Jackson said. I cant wait to get back out there, put on those pads and grind.Jackson returns to Louisville as The Associated Press college football Player of the Year, the latest addition to his haul of postseason awards.The youngest Heisman Trophy winner received 42 of 61 first-place votes from APs panel of media voters. Jackson received 153 points overall, more than twice that of Clemson quarterback and runner-up Deshaun Watson (73). Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen third (32). Watson received 10 first-place votes and Allen three.Jacksons runaway selection seemed fitting in a season in which he outraced defenders and into the record books en route to collecting a truckload of highlights and hardware.The 19-year-old opened the season by accounting for a school-record eight touchdowns against Charlotte before his highlight-reel goal-line hurdle over a Syracuse defender the next week, a game in which Jackson totaled an ACC-record 610 yards. During a five-TD outburst rout of Florida State he showcased his improvement in the pocket and quick, nimble footwork in a statement win for the program.His ability to picture plays is something that he really worked on and got better at, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. One of the things that is really neat was how he became a leader during the season.I can remember a couple of times in practice where he would look at me and go, `he was short on that route. And I would say `yes, yes he was. And I would go ahead to the receiver to correct him and Lamar goes, `thats OK, coach. I got him.The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Jackson has passed for 3,390 yards with 30 touchdowns and rushed for a school-record 1,538 and 21 scores. His combined TD total broke Watsons Atlantic Coast Conference recoord of 47 set last season, and he established single-season conference rushing marks for yardage and TDs by a QB.dddddddddddd.After earning ACC honors from media and coaches as the leagues top player, Jackson last week won the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards. Hes still trying to get his mind around the deluge of individual accolades and attention -- especially being a Heisman winner.While he will tell anyone who listen that his intention when he arrived at Louisville was helping the No. 15 Cardinals win games and championships, the spotlight and expectations will grow next season.Jackson has the chance to become just the second repeat Heisman winner and first since Ohio States Archie Griffin (1974 and `75). His goal remains leading Louisville into championship playoff contention after the Cardinals (9-3) fell short this fall.The attention has been like that all year, and I just cant go out as much, said Jackson, who will lead Louisville against No. 19 LSU (7-4) on Dec. 31 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. This just motivates me to elevate my game.Jackson, from Pompano Beach, Florida, is eager to resume bowl preparations for the game in his home state after a week of media appearances and awards shows in Atlanta and New York -- where his fashion choices took over social media.His outfit during his Heisman coronation: a red velvet jacket with black lapels, black bow tie and black suede loafers adorned with menacing yellow eyes, which he says represented his fierce look from inside his helmet.Initially reluctant to wear the shoes, Jackson relented and now laughs about the attention they generated.I showed my teammates the picture of the shoes and they said, `you gotta get them, Jackson said. I was like, `I dont want to wear them, and we debated about it and talked about it, and it just went from there. Its fun.Hard to imagine this impressive whirlwind would be anything other than fun, especially considering Jackson could do it again at the ripe old age of 20.---AP College Football Writer Ralph D.
