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.Shoes Canada Shop . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. Shoes Canada Nike .

LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new.STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State coach James Franklin said this week that the Nittany Lions needed to show opponents the ability to win games solely by the pass if the ground game goes awry; with 372 yards rushing against Maryland on Saturday, its a theory they didnt need to prove.Saquan Barkley ran for 202 yards, quarterback Trace McSorley added 81 more and threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead Penn State over Maryland 38-14 in front of a homecoming crowd of 100,778.McSorley accounted for 233 total yards, throwing for 152, as the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had a season-high 524 total yards and snapped Marylands five game win streak.Its simple, Franklin said. Its upfront. If youre good up front across the offensive line and the defensive line, you have a chance to be successful.Penn State has gotten off to slow starts in each of its games this season. The Nittany Lions shook that off with a seven-play, 84-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession that featured four plays of 17 yards or more and capped by a 5-yard scoring pass from McSorley to tight end Mike Gesicki.It was huge for us to get that first touchdown, said McSorley. We were able to get Beaver Stadium rocking.Barkley averaged 6.5 yards on 31 carries.I didnt do anything spectacular today, Barkley said. The offensive line took over and did a good job. We kind of felt we could run the ball; we hadnt been getting our running game going. The offensive line did an outstanding job. I saw that we had 300 some yards and I told them (linemen), `its all you.We got off to a fast start today, Barkley added. Weve been able to put 30 points on the board but we havent started on fire.Penn State had four sacks and limited Maryland (4-1, 1-1) to 270 total yards, including 170 on the ground. The Terps came in averaging 300 yards rushing per game in victories over Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and Purdue. Lorenzo Harrison led the Terps with 76 yards rushing.Maryland was forced to play without veteran quarterback Perry Hills during the second half; Hills injured his shoulder on a second-quarter keeper deep in Penn State territory and Maryland coach D.J. Durkin said it was not in Hills best interest to return in the second half.We have to play better, we have to coach better, Durkin said. We made dumb mistakes. We have to stay within the scheme of our offensse.ddddddddddddMaryland closed to within 17-14 late in the first half when Tyrrell Pigrome, subbing for the injured Hills, scored on his first snap with a 7-yard run. But Barkley peeled off a 25-yard run and one play later a 45-yard scoring jaunt to put the Lions up by 10 at the half.Its really indescribable how we played that next series on defense, Durkin said. We didnt call it well, we didnt execute it well; I cant even begin to describe it.Penn State penalties and a Barkley fumble enabled the Terps to stay within striking distance until McSorley hooked up with DeAndre Thompkins on a 70-yard scoring pass late in the third quarter to make it 31-14.Offensively, we put up some good numbers and did some good things, Penn States Franklin said. I thought we matched up well against this team on the O-line and the D-line. The games that weve matched up well, weve had success.KEY INJURIES: Tackle Andrew Nelson, arguably Penn States top lineman, injured his right knee late in the first half and likely will be lost for the season, Franklin said. Penn State freshman punter Blake Gillikin was injured when Maryland blocked a first-half punt and did not return.TARGETING A KICKER: Penn State kicker Joey Julius made jarring tackles against Kent State and Michigan this season and as a result has drawn blocking interest on kickoffs. He was the victim of a late hit against Minnesota and the Gophers Jaylen Waters was ejected. Saturday, Julius was knocked down late by Marylands Isaiah Davis after his second-half kickoff had sailed out of bounds and Davis was ejected. If he (Davis) wasnt thrown out of the game, he would have been removed by me, Durkin said. That is not us. We had momentum to start the half and that swung it the other way. Julius, who weighs 260 pounds, revealed on Facebook last week that he underwent treatment over the summer in a St. Louis facility for an eating disorder.UP NEXTMARYLAND: After playing three of its first five games on the road, Maryland returns home to face Minnesota on Oct. 15.PENN STATE: The Nittany Lions have an open date Oct. 15 prior to playing their third straight home game on Oct. 22 against No. 2 Ohio State; the Buckeyes will be Penn States second top-five opponent this season.
