Sebastian Vettel kept Ferrari on top of the Chinese GP timesheet as heavy rain arrived to saturate the Shanghai circuit for final practice on Saturday morning. However, despite the likelihood of the later qualifying hour also being disrupted by wet weather, Mercedes chose not to set any timed laps with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.Rain was heavily falling at the start of final practice and it was 15 minutes until cars were seen on track, with Williams the first team to dispatch theirs on the full wet tyre. Conditions slowly improved to the point where intermediates could be used - before the rain stopped completely - and Vettel went quickest with a lap of 1:57.351, which was seven tenths quicker than second-fastest man Valtteri Bottas.But in another potential reliability concern for Ferrari after issues in each of the first two races, Vettel reported a gearbox glitch during the course of his fastest lap. He made his way back to the pit lane and then sat out the remainder of the session. The Mercedes pair were among eight drivers who did not set a lap time, with Hamilton and Rosberg only entering track for exploratory laps on the full wet rubber in the early stages. With the timesheet largely irrelevant, Sergio Perez was third for Force India ahead of Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz and the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez.Britains Jolyon Palmer was sixth for Renault, but suffered a right-rear puncture with bodywork rubbing against the tyre thought to have caused the problem. The Enstone team had suffered a left-rear puncture on Kevin Magnussens car on Friday and made suspension changes as a result. When is Chinese GP on Sky?

After a Heisman Trophy season with Texas A&M - including an extraordinary performance in a win over Alabama on the road - Johnny Manziel had the world at his feet. People couldnt get their eyes and ears away from the cocksure quarterback. He was bigger than most stars in the NFL, and was wowing the football world with his movement, his escape from the pocket and his God-given talent for winning games. But then the rot set in. In January 2013 he was photographed signing helmets - and getting paid for them - something thats illegal within the rules of college football. He got away with only a one-half game suspension (St Louis Rams RB Todd Gurley did the same thing in 2014 for Georgia, and was banned for four games), and then made a gesture at an opposing player, which irked his head coach. Although 2013 did not live up to 2012, Johnny Manziel was still the most heralded name in the 2014 NFL Draft. Wait until you see Johnny Manziel, I told everyone who would listen. Maybe I should have added: Youll see him in any club near you.But unfortunately, it was his partying career that led the way even before he touched the grass of Clevelands practice facilities. Before he arrived in Cleveland, there were multiple photos of him in party mode and on his first day, along with other rookies, Manziel came in late for training camp, blaming a timing issue.His life was already becoming - as they say in recovery circles - unmanageable. Most people would have checked the schedule and arrived early. Especially if they are paid millions of dollars.As highlighted by SportingNews.com in a list of Manziel incidents, other problems began to mount. He was fined $12,000 in only his second pre-season game for swearing. In November 2014, Manziel and his entourage were allegedly involved in a fight at a Cleveland apartment building, where police were called and a fan later apologised (Manziel was not arrested or fined by the NFL over the incident). Manziel was also seen appearing to swear at NBA officials from the front seats of NBA games involving the Cleveland Cavaliers.Manziel tried the contrition tack in an effort to right the yacht: Its about action, he said. Its about being accountable and doing what Im gonna say, instead of looking like a jackass. Either Im going to learn or Im going to be finding something else to do.Photographs of Manziel in a Miami club appeared 12 hours later. An ESPN report looking into Manziels first-year career said about those interviewed: Those who spoke talked of a year-long pattern that showed a lack of commitment and preparation, a failure to be ready when given a chance in his first start aagainst Cincinnati and a continued commitment to nightlife, which affected his preparation and work while in the team facility.ddddddddddddn the off-season of 2015, Manziel took a step forward in his life and decided to go to rehab for three months (or 90 days, in recovery speak). Either he was forced by the Browns, the NFL and his family, or he decided himself. Either way, it was a good idea. This writer has seen many people get sober through rehab, but also a lot who havent. So naturally, I said a prayer for Johnny Football and hoped hed be in the former category.Manziel was reportedly back out drinking in less than six months.Manziel started the season with much improvement, striking a relationship with Travis Benjamin and generally looking a step towards the Johnny Manziel that football fans had known and loved. But off the field, the train was getting worse. Manziel was pulled over by police after getting in an argument with then-girlfriend Colleen Crowley. No charges were made, although at the time Manziel had admitted the pair had been drinking before subsequently refuting that claim.Then, another photograph emerged of Manziel appearing to be drunk (probably not the best look during the season) during Clevelands bye week. Manziel tried to explain himself, denying drinking but it was the off-the-field incidents that really angered coach Mike Pettine: It goes well beyond the field. We are going to continue to support him in every way possible, but at this point, weve decided its best to go with [Josh McCown] as the starter going forward.Pettine was fired at the end of last season, and new coach Hue Jackson was rumoured to immediately want rid of Manziel - and that departure has now been confirmed. Staying or not, the clouds darken for the player. Theres an accusation that he assaulted Crowley in January. No charges or arrests have been been made but she has put a protective order against him, which was not fought. Manziel has denied anything happened, and has said everythings fine.Remember this: Alcoholics always think they are OK….until they really arent. I know about alcohol problems because Ive been in AA for 15 years. And kept sober. Manziel is terrifying his family. His father, Paul is worried Johnny wont live much longer after his son refused another stint in rehab (he was offered stays at two places), according to his interview with the Dallas Morning News. I truly believe if they cant get him help, he wont live to see his 24th birthday, he said. Manziel has insisted that he is fine.Lets hope he does. But right now, Manziels playing with his career, his future, and very probably - his life. He needs to sort things out.If he doesnt, Johnny Football will be the next Ryan Leaf.
