Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has admitted Lewis Hamilton was wrong to post a video of himself riding on a motorbike but vowed not to try to change Hamiltons off-track behaviour. Hamiltons social media activities have become a persistent talking point in the build-up to the season-opening Australian GP after the F1 world champion was investigated by police in New Zealand after he allegedly filmed himself riding a Harley Davidson on a motorway and posted it on Snapchat.The two clips were recorded while Hamilton stopped off in Auckland on his way to Melbourne. When is the Australian GP on Sky Sports F1 this weekend?In hindsight the thing on the motorbike wasnt the right thing to do and he knows that perfectly well, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff told Sky Sports.Hamiltons penchant for social media - the Mercedes driver boasts over three million twitter followers, almost as many as Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren combined - can be considered an extension of the 30-year-olds increasingly high-profile celebrity lifestyle. While the rest of the field seemingly spent the final week of the off-season training and enjoying family time, Hamilton spent three days enjoying fashion events in Paris before flying to New Zealand for a trip that included hitting biodegradable golf balls off an ice glacier.But, with back-to-back titles in his personal trophy room, any notion that Hamiltons jet-setting would prove detrimental to his day job have been emphatically debunked. Little wonder, then, that Mercedes are adamant they will not be asking Hamilton to change his way. Hamilton hits biodegradable golf balls into the clouds while visiting a glacier He delivers on track. He wins races and he wins championships. His life seems to suit him and make him perform - and that is why, for me, it is absolutely OK, explained Wolff.And Hamilton, who was fastest in both of Fridays practice sessions at a rain-hit Albert Park, certainly has no intention of changing approach, on or off the track.I like social media and l have a great following. I have some incredible fans who follow me from all around the world.That is my channel to the people that do follow me, Hamilton said to Sky Sports F1. Lewis Hamilton will continue to use social media to keep in touch with fans While the debate about Hamiltons lifestyle and social media activities may sound trivial, the Englishman admitted last year that his ambitions for the remainder of his F1 career included revising the definition of what an F1 driver is.Im not in that box anymore - and Im winning. I am creating a new shape and Im happier here than l was in that other box.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.

Christian Miller Jersey . -- The top-seeded Alberta Pandas set up of an all-Canada West final against arch rival UBC at the CIS womens volleyball championship after a 3-0 win over the No.MONTREAL - A fine chemistry may be brewing between centre Nic Petan and winger Robby Fabbri at the world junior championship.The so-called third liners, playing mainly with Nick Paul on the other wing, piled on the goals as Canada defeated over-matched Slovakia 8-0 to open the tournament on Friday night.Fabbri had two goals and an assist, while Petan had a goal and two helpers to lead the onslaught.Points are one thing, but the way the team played the whole game, staying level headed, sticking to our game, it was good to see and good to win the game, said Fabbri, a St. Louis Blues prospect.I get switched around once in a while, but to play with Nic Petan, hes such a special player. So skilled and he works really hard. Its easy just to feed off him.A disappointing crowd of only 14,142 turned out to the Bell Centre, but those who stayed away missed a dominant performance from a Canadian side that looks strong and deep on attack.Fabbri scored twice and Anthony Duclair had the other as Canada got three goals in a 4:17 span of the first period, then added four more in the second and another in the third while owning the puck and out-shooting Slovakia 34-12.The Canadians will try to keep it going against Germany on Saturday.It helps with confidence and stuff like that, but the way were thinking is that this games over and done, said Petan. A game like that, you think its easy, but youre still working as hard as you can. It isnt like youre taking a step off the gas pedal. Youre playing the right way.Duclair, Max Domi, Jake Virtanen and Brayden Point each had a goal and an assist. Paul also scored, while Sam Reinhart and Madison Bowey had two assists each.Zach Fucale, who was barely tested, got the shutout. Eric Comrie gets the start against Germany.Coach Benoit Groulx was delighted to see goals from many sources, even if his top line of Connor McDavid, Curtis Lazar and Nick Ritchie was held off the scoresheet.It was nice to see the offence come from our third and fourth lines, said Groulx. I really feel that with our speed up front, we were able to put them on their heels.Connor, Duclair, Reinhart, they have tremendous speed and its tough to defend. And its tough when you have Brayden Point who you can put on any line and he adjusts. We have offence on every line and its up too us to find a way to bring it out, day in and day out.ddddddddddddhe Germans will no doubt play a tighter checking game in the neutral zone.Groulx said he doesnt fear complacency from his side, which is motivated by playing at home even if the rink wasnt filled to its 21,000-plus capacity.Canada didnt know what to expect from Slovakia. At last years tournament in Malmo, Sweden, they trailed the Slovaks 3-2 after two periods before storming back for a 5-3 win on two goals by Petan, one of seven players back this year.Slovakia captain Martin Reway looked shell-shocked after the defeat.Its my third year here and we always played tight games with them, said Reway, a former Gatineau Olympique now playing in the Czech Republic. We know theyre good, but I told the guys we can play with them. But we didnt play well in the first two periods.Slovakia faces Finland on Saturday.To get it started, Fabbri finished a tic-tac-toe play with Reinhart and Duclair at 4:52, Duclair took a feed from Domi alone in front and put a slick move on Denis Godla at 8:12 and Fabbri got behind the defence to take Petans pass and lift it over the Slovak goalie at 9:09.Slovakia coach Ernest Bokros called a timeout and his team played managed to hold Canada off the rest of the period.But Paul fought off a check to lift one in 6:54 into the second frame while Point one-timed Petans pass in at 11:38. That prompted a goaltending change as Godla, who stopped 18 of 23 shots, was replaced by David Okolicany.Domi beat him cleanly with a long wrist shot to the top corner on a solo rush at 16:14 and Petan walked out of the a corner with the teams each short a man and zipped one under the crossbar at 17:21.The Slovaks had one dangerous flurry early in the first period that was held off by Fucale, who wasnt threatened again until he made a big stop on Peter Cehlarik five minutes into the third.I need to stay focused no matter how many shots I get, whether I get two or 50, said Fucale. Notes — It was expected that Dillon Heatherington would be Canadas seventh defenceman, but it ended up with Samuel Morin skating sporadic shifts. . . The Slovaks got their third shot at 6:45 of the first frame and their fourth at 7:29 of the second. . . Canada opened last years tournament with a 7-2 win over Germany. ' ' '
