Lewis Hamilton says he would remove the controversial halo device if it was affixed to his car. The F1 world champion had already labelled the halo as the worst looking mod in Formula 1 history. Hamiltons comments were made after Ferrari completed the first public trial of the halo-shaped device at Barcelona testing, as F1 continues to work towards the introduction of a head protection device from 2017.I really, really hope not and if it does come in then l hope that we will be given the option of not using it because l will not be using it on my car, Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ. And although the concept was devised by Hamiltons Mercedes team, the Briton made clear he was not a fan.Please no! he posted on Instagram. This is the worst looking mod in Formula 1 history.I appreciate the quest for safety but this is Formula 1, and the way it is now is perfectly fine. Kimi Raikkonen tests out his Ferrari with the new safety halo during pre-season testing in Barcelona. Halo device splits opinion in the F1 paddockBut Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, who followed team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, in testing the device at Barcelona, says there can be no justification for not adopting the halo device if it saves lives.You can see what you need to see, said Vettel. We can improve it aesthetically and in terms of how much is in your way. We will see evolutions. In principle, it doesnt look very good but if it helps save lives then there would be at least two drivers in the last four years who would be still around - Henry Surtees and Justin Wilson. Nothing justifies not having these two guys around any more.Although teams have agreed with the FIA that some form of head protection structure for drivers will be introduced next year, reaching consensus on the wider direction F1 should take with its regulations remains a challenge.F1s rulemakers have been criticised over the past week for the uncertainty surrounding qualifying rules heading into the new season, while a final blueprint has still not been agreed for 2017s planned design overhaul.Asked in a media session at the Circuit de Catalunya if he thought F1 was fundamentally broke, lacking direction, or in rude health, Hamilton replied: Probably the first two you suggested. The halo concept was devised by Hamiltons Mercedes team I dont really want to say too much about it, but I do agree with the first two things you suggested.Hamilton was the second leading driver to speak out against the state of the sport at Barcelona after his former team-mate Fernando Alonso said he was saddened by the chaos surrounding elimination-style qualifying.If I was a sportsman from another sport I would look at Formula 1 a bit surprised, Alonso said.

Damage control the seemed to be the theme this week following the 33-14 loss to No. 1 Alabama as ninth-ranked Texas A&M steps out of conference play to host New Mexico State.Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPNU) at Kyle Field in College Station, TexasThe loss to the Crimson Tide doesnt completely eliminate the Aggies (6-1, 4-1 SEC) from the West Division race, but it does leave the in position of needing help in the form of at least one loss for Alabama to get to the SEC title game.A&M quarterback Trevor Knight commented that he has seen one-loss teams still getting to where they want to go in a season, but coach Kevin Sumlin is taking a more focused approach.Were not talking about that, he said. Got to worry about this week. Dont have any control over what happens after that. Our guys understand that.Right after that game everyone still wants to talk about where we are in national picture and what can happen here and there. Guess what? Six weeks ago that wasnt a conversation. Now all of sudden it is? We dont forget that.We have to beat New Mexico State this week. Thats what this week is about. Then well figure out next week, Sumlin said.Beating New Mexico State (2-5, 1/3 Sun Belt) is almost an afterthought.These Aggies -- they share the nickname with Texas A&M -- have lost their last two games, 22-19 to Georgia Southern and 55-23 to Idaho, with the latter marking the third time this season they have surrendered more than 50 points. Earlier, they lost 52-6 to Troy and 62-42 to Kentucky.But New Mexico State does have a senior quarterback, Tyler Rogers, who has thrown for nearly 287 yards a game and a solid all-around back in senior Larry Rose III. Rose missed the first three games of the season while recovering from a sports hernia but has rushed for 281 yards in four games since his return. He also has 12 receptions for another 86 yards.New Mexico State may have put together its best effort of the season in the three-point loss to Georgia Southern, one of the Sun Belts top teaams.ddddddddddddIm proud of our offense and defense for how hard they played, New Mexico State coach Doug Martin said. Our football team has to play smarter. Im proud of the fight the team showed and I guarantee theyll continue to fight.Sumlin expects an aerial show.Theyre gonna throw it around a bunch, Sumlin said. Doug Martin has been around, been a head coach for a while.Going to sling it around all over place. Got a guy that can do that. Gonna spread us out. Zone read and really more of the same. RPO stuff. Take shots down field. Will test us deep. Theyve got nothing to lose.Rogers also has rushed for 220 yards, third on the team, mostly on run-pass option plays.They were putting points up and moving it down the field, Sumlin said, referring to New Mexico States loss to Kentucky. Heck of a game. This is another SEC opponent. No stranger to that.Definitely a team that is going to try and expose you and get big plays off deep throws and all kind of things down field.Getting in an up-and-down the field kind of game could work in A&Ms favor, helping to snap out of whatever funk may be lingering from the loss at Tuscaloosa. The Aggies rushed for only 114 yards against the Crimson Tide after putting up 353 the previous week against Tennessee.Up until that game our line was leading the league in rushing, Sumlin said. That front against us, no doubt they were better.Running back Trayveon Williams rushed for 217 yards against Tennessee but scratched his way for only 23 yards on nine carries against the Tide. Quarterback Trevor Knight rushed for 24 after getting 351 in the previous three games.Do we want to be better? Yes, Sumlin said, referring to an offensive line that has a redshirt freshman, true freshman and a sophomore starting with two seniors. Can we be better? We will be better, because these guys will be playing for us for next three or four years. ' ' '
