Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe could be set for a shock switch to Williams at the end of 2016, according to a report in Motorsport.com.Executive director (technical) Lowes future has been the subject of speculation for several months with his current deal expiring on December 31. The team is currently searching for a new driver following Nico Rosbergs shock retirement and now faces the prospect of also needing to replace a key member of staff before the start of the 2017 season.The report states Lowe has indicated he will accept Williams offer, which may see him work alongside current technical chief Pat Symonds as he transitions into retirement from Formula One after a lengthy career in the sport. The expiry date of Lowes contract means he may not have to serve any period of gardening leave, though it is unclear whether he has any clauses preventing him switching to a rival immediately afterwards.A Williams spokesperson declined to comment on the speculation when contacted by ESPN.The move would be a massive coup for Williams after struggling with the development of its 2016 car, which saw it lose out to the less-resourced Force India in the battle for fourth position. Claire Williams has already suggested a revamp of the teams current operation by saying the 2017 role of Rob Smedley, the current head of vehicle performance, is currently being unclear.After three years of dominating the sport the Mercedes role would be as high-profile as the Rosberg seat currently vacant. Former Ferrari technical chief James Allison, who left Maranello mid-way through 2016, looks to be the early front-runner for the job.?Cheap Soccer Jerseys . By having more great seasons.

"It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont.LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- A decision on Maria Sharapovas appeal of her two-year doping ban has been postponed until September, ruling her definitively out of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.The Court of Arbitration for Sport says Sharapova and the International Tennis Federation agreed to defer the decision, which had been due by July 18. A verdict is now expected by Sept. 19, according to CAS.CAS said both parties wanted more time to prepare their cases and also cited scheduling conflicts.Sharapova, 29, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player, tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January and received a two-year ban from the ITF. She filed an appeal last month, seeking to overturn or reduce the sanction.The parties agreed then to an expedited procedure that would allow CAS to issue its ruling this month. Had the suspension been annulled, Sharapova would have been eligible for the Olympics in August.The decision to push back the ruling also rules out any possibility of Sharapova being cleared to play in the US Open, which runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 11.Due to the parties requiring additional time to complete and respond to their respective evidentiary submissions, and several scheduling conflicts, the parties have agreeed not to expedite the appeal, CAS said in a statement.ddddddddddddSharapovas lawyer John Haggerty said the decision was by mutual agreement and will give her team additional time to prepare its case.CAS is the court of final appeal and this extension will be helpful. Haggerty said in a statement. We are hopeful Marias suspension will be reduced, but in all cases, these additional two months will not impact our expectations of what can be achieved.Sharapova acknowledged taking meldonium before each match at the Australian Open. She said she had not been aware that meldonium, also known as mildronate, had been banned by World Anti-Doping Agency as of Jan. 1.An independent three-person panel appointed by the ITF ruled that Sharapova did not intend to cheat because she didnt know meldonium was banned but that she bore sole responsibility and very significant fault for the positive test.Sharapova said she first was prescribed the Latvian-made drug, typically used for heart conditions, for medical reasons in 2006.Her ban is due to end on Jan. 25, 2018, which would keep her out of eight Grand Slam tournaments, along with the Olympics.
