SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Mercedes will not impose team orders on its drivers following the events of the Austrian Grand Prix, but has introduced new rules of engagement to deter further collisions.Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton made contact for the second time this year while fighting for the lead of the Austrian Grand Prix, dropping Rosberg from first to fourth while Hamilton took the lead and won the race. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff? said he was fed up with analysing collisions between his drivers and warned them that team orders were being considered ahead of this weekends British Grand Prix.On Thursday afternoon the team issued a statement saying the drivers were still free to race, albeit with deterrents in place to prevent further collisions.This morning at the headquarters of the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team in Brackley, UK, positive meetings were held between Toto Wolff, Paddy Lowe, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, a team statement said.Our drivers were informed that they remain free to race for the World Championship. We believe this is the essence of Formula One, including between team-mates. As passionate racers, we want to see them racing, and so do the fans of Formula One.However, this freedom comes with a duty for our drivers to respect the values of the team. In the past five races, there have been three incidents which have cost us over 50 points in the constructors championship. We have therefore strengthened our Rules of Engagement to include much greater deterrents to contact between our cars.With these in place, we will trust our drivers to manage the situation between them on track. Their destiny is in their own hands.The drivers were also reminded that we may issue instructions during the race to protect against a potential loss of Constructors points, such as we did at this years Monaco GP when Nico was instructed to let Lewis pass. If the drivers do not honour the revised Rules of Engagement, we may impose team orders as a solution of last resort.Finally, we restated our belief in Lewis and Nico as the best driver pairing in Formula One. Since 2013, we have won together a total of 43 races and 40 further podium finishes, plus two consecutive World Championships. This record speaks for itself.Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Toto Wolff will face the press later today. Jason Grilli Jersey .

DENVER -- Walt Weiss made his way around Coors Field on Sunday to say so long to the Colorado Rockies fans for the season.Turns out, his farewell was for good, too.Weiss is out as Rockies manager after four seasons in charge. In a statement Monday, the team said Weiss has decided to step down.However, he really didnt have a job to come back to because his contract expired after the season finale. General manager Jeff Bridich, who took over two years ago, will now get to select his own manager.The Rockies finished 75-87 this season, their best record since 2010.Weiss took over a team on Nov. 7, 2012, that was coming off the worst season in franchise history. He was a high school coach at the time with no major league coaching experience. The former big league shortstop learned on the fly and concluded his managerial stint in Colorado with a 283-365 record.In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Weiss said he was pleased with the direction the team was heading.Theres a lot to look forward to here, especially from where we came from, Weiss said. Coming in right after the worst season in the history of the franchise, I feel like that if it wasnt rock bottom, it was pretty darn close. But theres a lot to feel good about.Weiss figured all the Rockies needed was to find a couple more arms for the bullpen. Instead, Bridichs offseason retooling starts with the search for a new manager.Thhe players appreciated Weiss laid-back style, with All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado giving Weiss credit for having the Rockies on the right track.dddddddddddd Arenado said Sunday that Weiss is a manager that every player respects, everyone around the game respects. You dont find those people too often.The next skipper will be inheriting this: A batting champion in DJ LeMahieu, one of the games top leadoff hitters in Charlie Blackmon, an RBI monster in Arenado, another deep threat in Carlos Gonzalez, a star in the making in shortstop Trevor Story and a young but talented rotation led by Jon Gray.Theres also this: A shaky bullpen, which blew 28 save chances. Colorado finished 24-36 in games decided by two runs or less this season.I like the group that we have. I think we are close, said Arenado, who led the league in RBIs (133) and tied for the NL home run title (41). I want fans to know that so they dont lose hope. I feel bad. They come out every day, to see us lose the way we do sometimes. It upsets me. I want them to know that I truly believe were close.Weiss has long had strong ties with the organization, playing four seasons for the Rockies from 1994 to 1997. He also served as a special assistant to the general manager for seven years from 2002 to 08. ' ' '
