F1 needs a three-way world title fight between Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel in 2016, according to former champion Alain Prost. Mercedes have dominated the sport since the inception of hybrid turbocharged engines two years ago, but Ferrari are aiming to challenge the world champions on a more regular basis in the new season.Sebastian Vettel defeated Mercedes in three races in his first campaign at Ferrari, but the German ultimately finished 103 points adrift of Hamilton, who beat Rosberg to the title for the second successive year. Prost, who won four world championships between 1985 and 1993, reckons Hamilton will start as the man to beat again, but wants to see a more varied title race.Lewis should be the favourite for the championship again, but what would be good for Formula 1 is a big fight between Lewis and Nico and maybe Vettel in the middle, the Frenchman told Sky Sports News HQ. Mercedes are looking over their shoulder heading into 2016 However, the former Ferrari driver is not convinced that his old team will have been able to completely bridge the gap to Mercedes over the winter. The Scuderia finished 20 seconds behind the Mercedes pair at the final race of last season in Abu Dhabi.The first race is going to be important to see where the competition is, Prost added. Has [Ferrari] been able to catch up with Mercedes? I dont think they can do it completely.Hamilton now stands just one Drivers Championship short of joining Prost in an exclusive group of drivers who have won four or more titles. Michael Schumacher, Juan-Manuel Fangio and Vettel are the others.The Briton dominated three quarters of the 2015 campaign, but Mercedes team-mate Rosberg ended the year on a career-best consecutive run of six poles and three wins.

Prost is intrigued to see if that turnaround carries into the new season, although is expecting no let up from the sports reigning champion.The fight between Lewis and Nico is going to be interesting because the end of last year was really amazing with Nicos performance, Prost said.But it was quite tight, and Im sure Lewis will come back very hungry to be champion again.The first Barcelona test starts on Monday February 22 and the Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.

VIENNA -- A city in Siberia will be stripped of hosting the 2021 world biathlon championships if Russians in the sport fail doping retests of samples taken at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.International Biathlon Union President Anders Besseberg told The Associated Press on Wednesday its possible without problem to reallocate the hosting rights from the city of Tyumen if more Russian doping infringements surface following the revelation of an alleged state-backed doping plot at the Sochi Games.WADA and IOC have commissions working on this, Besseberg said. If they should come up with things that it will be wrong, or as a kind of punishment, that you cannot organize big events in Russia, then there is absolutely no problem for us. We will have a new congress in 2018.The IBU Congress in Chisinau, Moldova, last weekend elected Tyumen to host the competition despite a recent IOC recommendation to all winter sports federations to freeze their preparations for major events in Russia and find host cities in other countries.According to Besseberg, the IOC request from July didnt apply to the 2021 biathlon worlds because its host bidding process had already started.Besseberg said the IBU and other winter sports federations received a very clear statement by the International Olympic Committee at a meeting during the Rio de Janeiro Games last month that all competitions already granted to Russia should run normally, and applications (to host an event) that were in process shall also run the normal way. This was the case for us.Therefore, two IBU events in Russia in the 2016-17 season -- the junior world championships in Ostrov in Februuary and a World Cup event in Tyumen the following month -- will go ahead as planned.ddddddddddddAlso in other winter sports, no major events have been moved from Russia so far.In a statement to the AP, the IOC said it is aware of the decision of the IBU Congress and will continue its discussions with the International Olympic Winter Sports Federations about the practical implementation of the recommendation of the IOC EB.The IOC announced earlier its recommendation was an interim order through 2016 which its board will review in December.Situated 2,500 kilometers east of Moscow, Tyumen won Sundays election by getting an absolute majority in the first round of voting, beating rival bids from Pokljuka in Slovenia and Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic.Officials from several national biathlon federations, including those of the United States, Canada and Norway, publicly criticized the choice for a Russian venue as it would send a wrong signal in the awake of the World Anti-Doping Agency inquiry report on the state-backed doping plot.When its about granting the rights for the world championships, its the sole responsibility of the delegates from the different national federations, Besseberg said, adding that none of the delegates asked questions or had any remarks during the congress when they were informed by him on the updated IOC recommendation.The voting on the candidates run in the absolutely normal way, Besseberg said.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson in London contributed to this report.
