SPA, Belgium -- Nico Rosberg extended his championship lead and deepened his rift with Lewis Hamilton. The gloves are now well and truly off between the Mercedes rivals in their bitter fight for the Formula One title. After Rosberg finished second at Sundays Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed the German driver acknowledged that he had deliberately crashed into him early in the incident-packed race, which saw Daniel Ricciardo clinch his third win of the season. "We just had a meeting about it and he basically said he did it on purpose," Hamilton said, struggling to contain his anger. "He said he did it on purpose. He said he could have avoided it. He said I did it to prove a point." There was no immediate response from Rosberg, who now has 220 points with Hamilton still on 191 and third-placed Ricciardo on 156. The huge tensions inside Mercedes overshadowed Ricciardos impressive performance for resurgent Red Bull. Rosberg effectively ended Hamiltons chances of victory on the second lap after a risky overtaking move that saw him clip and puncture the Britons left tire. Both of their cars were damaged, but not as much as their relationship. "I heard someone say that it was inevitable we were going to crash one day, but I dont feel that today was that inevitability," Hamilton said. "Its not your job to go massively out of your way to leave extra, extra room." Red Bull took full advantage as Ricciardo raced away to a second consecutive victory, beating Rosberg by 3.3 seconds. Hamilton retired five laps from the end as he slipped 29 points behind Rosberg overall. Ricciardos efforts were totally overshadowed by the third major Mercedes feud this season between Hamilton and Rosberg. The two mens friendship -- cemented in their junior days racing karts against each other -- now appears in freefall. "Its damaging this weekend for me, I dont know how Im going to get back 30 points," Hamilton said, before aiming a thinly-veiled swipe at Rosberg ahead of the Italian GP in two weeks time. "Well have to make sure were not wheel to wheel (in Monza)," he said, stern-faced. Both drivers spoke shortly after a team meeting, with Rosberg visibly shaken as he tried to downplay the incident. "The stewards judged its a racing incident. Thats the best way to describe that," he said. "I didnt see any risk in trying to overtake so why should I not try? Inside was not possible so I tried round the outside. The opportunity was there." Rosberg refused to reveal what was said at the team meeting. "That wouldnt be the right thing to do," he said. "I dont want to go into details as to who apologized." But an incredulous-sounding Hamilton maintained that Rosberg acknowledged he had deliberately nudged into Hamilton. "I was gob-smacked when I was listening to the meeting. You need to ask him what point he was trying to make," Hamilton said. "He just came in there and said It was all my fault. Just came in there ..." Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas was third -- although his fourth podium in five races went largely unheralded as Rosberg was jeered by the Spa crowd on the podium. Even Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff blamed Rosberg. "You dont try to overtake with the knife between your teeth in lap number two and damage both cars," he told BBC sport. Ricciardos beaming, toothy smile was in stark contrast to the glum mood at Mercedes. The Australian continues to outshine his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel, who finished fifth behind Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen. "To have three wins in 12 races has exceeded a few expectations. The in-team battle has gone really well," said Ricciardo, who is 35 points behind Hamilton. "Ive shown speed throughout qualifying and in the race now." Rosberg started from pole for the fourth straight race, but Hamilton and Vettel got past the German on turn 1. As Hamilton fixed his racing line, Rosberg surged past on lap two and his front wing hit Hamiltons left side, also damaging Rosbergs car. "Nico hit me, Nico hit me," an exasperated Hamilton shouted over the race radio. Not again, the Mercedes team must have been thinking. At last months Hungarian GP, Hamilton refused team orders to let Rosberg past. At the Monaco GP in May, Hamilton was incensed when Rosberg crashed late in qualifying when under no pressure, leading to a safety car coming out and squandering Hamiltons chances of securing pole position. Hamilton felt confident after qualifying on the front row for the first time in six races. But once again the 2008 champion needed to carve his way back through the field, just like in the previous two GPS -- Hungary and Germany -- where he qualified 20th and 22nd due to technical problems. Rosbergs front wing was replaced on lap nine. Then, in a bizarre turn, some flying debris got attached to the radio aerial on the front of the car and flapped around in front of his face. He tried in vain to remove it after at one stage the string-like material even caught on the steering wheel. "It eventually came off," he said. "I couldnt even see where I was going sometimes."

The only time Detroits first-year manager has noticed a difference is when opponents decide to pitch around Miguel Cabrera and take their chances with the leading hitter in the American League. "The only time I see his concentration go up even higher is when someone gets walked in front of him," Ausmus said. Martinez broke a 2-2 tie with a three-run homer in the fifth inning capping a 10-pitch at-bat, Justin Verlander threw 7 2-3 strong innings and the Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners 6-3 on Friday night. Martinez watched as Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma issued a two-out intentional walk to Cabrera in the fifth. It was probably the right move after Cabrera hit a two-run homer off Iwakuma in the third inning to give Detroit the lead. Martinez then made Iwakuma work, fouling off pitch after pitch and extending the at-bat. On the 10th pitch, Iwakuma left a slider hanging chest-high and Martinez lifted his 13th homer of the season out to right field. "I thought I did pretty well until that last pitch," Iwakuma said through an interpreter. Martinez finished with two hits raising his AL-leading average to .347. Hes come to understand hitting behind Cabrera there will be times that hes considered the better option to face. "Early in my career, I used to get mad ... when they were walking people in front of me. Id get mad at the plate and be swinging at anything," Martinez said. "Now I understand. Hey, if Im a manager, Id do the same thing. It is what it is. (Cabrera) the best hitter in the game, and you cant let the best hitter in the game beat you. I understand it." Cabreras homer in the third came on the first pitch from Iwakuma. Both home runs Iwakuma allowed came with two outs and led to his shortest outing of the season. Iwakuma (3-2) lasted just six innings andd took his second straight loss.dddddddddddd Rajai Davis added a solo shot on the first pitch from reliever Charlie Furbush in the seventh, his fourth homer of the season. The homers provided plenty of support for Verlander (6-4), who had lost three of his previous four starts and gave up 11 hits in each of his last two outings. He allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked one. Verlander was on the cusp of getting through the eighth for just the second time this season, but James Jones two-out single forced a change. Verlander threw a season-high 120 pitches. The outing was more what the Tigers have come to expect from Verlander. "I think my rhythm was much better, my consistency was much better and my stuff was a lot better," Verlander said. "Thats a good sign in and of itself." Verlanders only troubles came with Seattles Kyle Seager, who doubled in his first at-bat and hit a two-run homer in the fourth to pull the Mariners even. Seager was thrown out at home trying to score on an infield groundball in the second, but made up for it with his eighth homer of the season in the fourth. The Mariners had a chance in the fifth after Endy Chavezs two-out double, but second baseman Ian Kinsler swallowed Jones hard one-hopper and threw him out to save a run. Joba Chamberlain pitched the ninth for his second save. Seattle played without second baseman Robinson Cano for the second straight night, sitting out with a minor contusion on his hand. Cano was a late scratch from Thursdays lineup, but said before Fridays game that he was feeling better. He has played at least 159 games in each of the past seven seasons. NOTES: It was the first time for Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon facing the Tigers. McClendon was on Jim Leylands coaching staff in Detroit from 2006-13 before getting the Seattle job. ... Cabreras homer snapped Iwakumas streak of scoreless innings against AL Central teams at 50 1-3.
