BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Sebastian Vettel says it was no surprise to see Mercedes comfortably quicker than its rivals during Friday practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.Nico Rosberg held an advantage of more than half a second over his nearest rival Daniel Ricciardo during second practice and was nearly a second faster than Vettel in third. Vettel is confident Ferrari can close the gap ahead of qualifying, but says Mercedes dominance during Friday practice is nothing new.I am not entirely happy with the balance, so naturally if the balance comes more together I think we can improve overnight and improve in sectors one, two and three, he said. Its not a surprise that Mercedes is good.It was a bit of a mixed bag [for us] this afternoon. The car feels okay, we need to improve a little bit all around and then we should be in a better position tomorrow.Its quite obvious that Mercedes was very competitive in the morning and afternoon. I havent seen the long runs, but as I said, we need to work on ourselves and then see where we are.But when asked if Mercedes had made big gains with its one-lap pace at recent races, Vettel said: Not sure. I dont think so.It is very important here to feel the car and there I think we can improve. Hopefully it was a standout good day for them and tomorrow obviously we will see where we are.

Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et. The Raptors traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes. Point guard Demetrius Jackson, the 45th pick in the 2016 draft, will sign a four-year, $5.5 million contract with the Boston Celtics, a league source confirmed to ESPN.The Boston Globe first reported the details of Jacksons rookie contract.In earning an average annual salary of $1.38 million, Jackson will essentially be paid similar to the No. 23 overall pick, assuming that player earned 100 percent of the leagues rookie scale. Depending on the structure of Jacksons deal, his guaranteed first-year salary could rival that of a pick in the late teens.The deal might raise questions about why the Celtics would give such a lucrative contract to a mid-second-round selection. Just one year ago, Boston drafted Marcus Thornton at No. 45 and elected to stash him overseas in Australia to develop. He has yet to sign a deal with the Celtics.Boston is essentially protecting its investment and utilizing available money to ensure Jackson stays under the teams long-term control. Second-round picks often settle for two-year deals at the minimum salary, which would pay only $543,471 this season. Teams are more commonly shunning these deals because over-performing second-round picks are in position to be signed away after two seasons, as drafting teams have only limited early Bird rights with which to retain them.Jacksons deal will afford Boston the right of first refusal if he turns into a contributor at the NBA level. The Celtics executed a similar contract last season while inkingg 2015 second-round pick Jordan Mickey to a four-year, $5 million deal.ddddddddddddMickey, the No. 33 pick, got two guaranteed seasons at first-round money in exchange for being under the teams long-term control because the Celtics will hold full Bird rights by the end of his deal.Jackson, who is 6-foot-1, had a quiet summer league debut for Boston. In eight appearances over stints in Utah and Las Vegas, he averaged 5.3 points, 2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal in 16.6 minutes per game.Boston appears deep at the guard spot, and Jacksons role could be limited in his rookie campaign, particularly if second-year guard Terry Rozier elevates to a rotation spot. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge had said earlier this month that the team was probably in the market for another ball handler to fill out its depth chart, and Jackson fills that role. He is probably ticketed to spend much of his first season with the Maine Red Claws of the D-League.The Memphis Grizzlies drafted Deyonta Davis at No. 31 overall in June, utilizing a pick acquired from Boston, and recently signed him to a three-year, $4 million deal. That deal will make him a restricted free agent at the end of his three-year contract. The Celtics will have a team option for Jacksons fourth season, but he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of his deal. ' ' '
