Kimi Raikkonen says attention to the small details has been key to his improved form in 2016, which has occurred despite a disappointing campaign for Ferrari.Raikkonen dropped behind teammate Sebastian Vettel after retiring due to a botched pit-stop at the U.S. Grand Prix, having led the German in the standings for much of the season. Last year Raikkonen finished a huge 128 points behind Vettel, the second season in a row which had seen him comprehensively out-performed by a teammate.The Finn says the improvement has come from change in mentality compared to previous years.Obviously the car is new, we had a good car last year also, but there were some changes with the people that I work with and I think theyve been very good, Raikkonen said when asked to explain the reasons for his improvement in form ahead of this weekends Mexican Grand Prix. The guys are very good at what they do, we work very well together, but I dont think theres the one reason why were doing better. I think the reasons are in the very small details, making sure that they are correct, theyre not almost there or roughly there, theyre exactly as they should be.To have this mentality pays off because we have a lot of details that can make a difference if theyre spot on but if theyre not then youd adding a lot of lap time. We work very well together, we understand each other well, we have the same kind of idea of how we want to do stuff.Despite acknowledging the improvement in his own form compared to 2014 and 2015, Raikkonen admits it means little in a year which has seen Ferrari fail to record a single victory despite pre-season expectations of a title challenge.I can drive the car well, that helps, but it hasnt been such a good season as I want to be at the front and win races, so its difficult for me to say this has been a good season. But I understand that coming from the last few years this is better, but the end result is not what we want as Ferrari.Authentic Deon Cain Jersey .

Houston capped a 5-1 road trip through Seattle and Oakland before returning home with high hopes.Obviously, we came off of a really hot road trip feeling pretty good, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. Weve played extra innings games, weve played really close games, and they havent gone our way. Thats the way the games go sometimes. Its not as if were out there not giving our best or not coming prepared -- were just not executing at the most critical times. But were going to keep fighting these last five games and see where it takes us, but certainly, its disappointing.Right-hander Mike Fiers (11-8, 4.50 ERA) will make his third start of the season and fourth of his career against Seattle on Tuesday. He has allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over 9 1/3 innings against Seattle in 2016, going 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA. Fiers is 1-0 with a 4.20 ERA in his career against them.Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez (11-6, 3.61 ERA) willl make his 24th start of the season on Tuesday night.ddddddddddddHernandez did not factor in the decision in his previous outing despite tossing seven shutout innings on Sept. 21 against Toronto.Hernandez is 3-4 with a 4.07 ERA in nine career starts against the Astros including five starts at Minute Maid Park where he has posted a 2-2 record and 5.40 ERA. In his lone start against Houston this season, Hernandez took the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings on Sept. 16.Unlike the Astros, who dropped 3 1/2 games behind the Orioles with five to play, the Mariners remain optimistic that a series win in Houston and a season-ending homestand against the Athletics just might yield their first postseason berth since 2001.Weve got a chance, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Thats what weve been playing for and the guys, you can feel it, they really believe. Big game (Tuesday) night. Weve got to keep taking care of business here and hopefully get home for the weekend and still have a chance there. Ive been saying it for a month and a half, its a game at a time and all that other good stuff. These guys believe it. They know whats on the line every night. Weve got to have a little bit better at-bats. Thats probably the most disappointing thing tonight, the strikeout number (16). Weve got to cut that down. ' ' '
