GRETZKY- ICE HOCKEY AMBASSADOR FOR CHINA
Former NHL great Wayne Gretzky has said he is "pleasantly surprised" at the level of ice hockey in China, and that the sport has great potential to grow in the country.   "I'm really impressed by how nice and warm the Chinese people are, and I'm also pleasantly surprised by how much hockey there is here," said Gretzky. "They've got girls' teams and youth hockey programs now, and this is the second year that the NHL has played exhibition games here, so there's a sense that hockey is starting to get followed and watched more."   Despite recent high-profile attempts to improve the game's...

RAIKKONEN WILL LEAVE FERRARI FOR SAUBER
Kimi Raikkonen was hardly in the mood to talk about why he’s leaving Ferrari next season. Speaking at a news conference ahead of Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, he reverted to his typically monosyllabic and nonchalant style when asked about the reasons for his departure. It was announced this week that Ferrari will not be renewing the Finnish driver’s contract in 2019.   “This is what happened. It’s not up to me and it’s not my decision,” Raikkonen said on Thursday. “This is the outcome. At least we have an outcome.”   His seat is going to Charles Leclerc. The 20-year-old from Monaco is...
