2017 British Grand Prix, Report, Practice
The first free practice session saw the public début of the "shield" cockpit protection device, a reinforced perspex crash structure mounted to the monocoque. The shield is designed to provide additional driver protection by deflecting debris away from a driver's head without compromising the ability of marshalls to access the cockpit in the event of an accident. The initial testing was carried out by Ferrari to assess the shield's design ahead of a planned introduction in 2018. Sebastian Vettel responded negatively to the design, cutting short his testing of the device and subsequently reporting that the concave shape of the shield distorted his vision and made him feel dizzy.

At the start, Hamilton easily pulled away opening a 1.6 seconds gap to Räikkönen after just one lap. Sebastian Vettel, starting from third, was overtaken by Max Verstappen. Valtteri Bottas started his slow run towards what would become a second place, overtaking both McLaren Honda driver Stoffel Vandoorne and Sergio Pérez in a Force India, who started from eight and sixth respectively. A crash of the Toro Rosso drivers Carlos Sainz Jr. and Daniil Kvyat, caused by Kvyat, brought out the safety car on lap 2, with Sainz retiring while Kvyat continued but finished the race only fifteenth after receiving a drive-through penalty.


2017 British Grand Prix, Report, Race
At the restart, once again Hamilton pulled away and, in the following laps, opened a gap towards second placed Kimi Räikkönen which allowed him to cruise to victory. Meanwhile, Bottas continued his charge and got up to fifth place before lap 7, overtaking Esteban Ocon and Nico Hülkenberg. Vettel, after the restart, was stuck behind the Red Bull of Max Verstappen and the two banged wheels as Vettel tried to overtake. Verstappen stayed in third but Vettel eventually got out in front of him after he pitted on lap 18, one lap earlier than Verstappen.


2017 British Grand Prix, Report, Race
Bottas, who was the only one of the top ten who started on the slower but more durable soft tyres instead of supersoft versions, stayed out until lap 32 and then pitted for the supersoft tyres. As he set fastest lap he soon caught up to Vettel and overtook him on lap 44, moving up into third. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo, who started from 19th on the grid, also moved up, overtaking, among others, Fernando Alonso, Sergio Pérez and Kevin Magnussen. He eventually finished fifth.


2017 British Grand Prix, Report, Race
In the final laps, both Ferraris suffered punctures. On lap 49 Kimi Räikkönen suffered a puncture on his left front tyre. With a relatively short distance to the pits, Räikkönen only lost second place to Bottas and still managed to finish third. Vettel's puncture came on lap 51 with almost the entire lap remaining to return to the pits with a blown tire. Losing a significant amount of time, the blow out dropped him down to seventh place.


2017 British Grand Prix, Report, Race
As a result of the race, Hamilton narrowed the gap to Vettel in the Drivers' Championship to just one point, while Mercedes expanded their lead in the Constructors' Championship to 55 points over Ferrari.

2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal
On 28 March 2017, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution of disapproval () to overturn the Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal privacy law by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and was expected to be approved by United States' President Donald Trump. It was passed with 215 Republican votes against 205 votes of disapproval.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal
The repealed privacy protections, once approved in 2016, sought to regulate what companies can do with data of customers' browsing habits, communication contents, app usage history, location data and social security numbers and safeguard customer data against hackers and thieves.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal
Supporters of the vote argued that the privacy regulations stifle innovation by forcing Internet providers to abide by unreasonably strict guidelines.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal
Due to the repeal Internet service providers (ISP) like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon may sell Web browsing histories and other sensitive data directly to marketers, financial firms and other companies without consumers' consent. Furthermore, the FCC will be forbidden from issuing similar rules in the future.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Background
Internet providers have historically generated their revenue from selling access to the Internet and are now looking to increase their revenue by tapping the data their customers generate as they make use of the Internet.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Background
The industry with its profit motive favors an interpretation of privacy that does not consider browsing history or app usage data to be sensitive and protected — the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) interpretation. However the FTC is unable to enforce its own guidelines without new authority from Congress.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Background
On 16 March 2017 CTIA claims that "Web browsing and app usage history are not 'sensitive information'" in a filing with the FCC.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Many of the privacy advocates who oppose ISP data sharing also oppose tracking by ad networks and technology companies such as Google but find ISP tracking extra worrisome as ISPs have access to all of one's browsing data − not just data from specific sites that share their data with particular ad networks, and as disabling cookies or adblockers can't prevent this sort of tracking.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy states that the vote means that "Americans will never be safe online from having their most personal details stealthily scrutinized and sold to the highest bidder".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Senator Brian Schatz states that "if this [resolution] is passed, neither the FCC nor the FTC will have clear authority when it comes to how Internet service providers protect consumers' data privacy and security. Regardless of politics, allowing ISPs to operate in a rule-free zone without any government oversight is reckless".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
According to Anna Eshoo the consequences of the resolution's passage are clear: "broadband providers like AT&T, Comcast, and others will be able to sell your personal information to the highest bidder without your permission".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Michael Copps, a former member of the Federal Communications Commission, called the bill a "perversion of what the internet was supposed to be".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Dallas Harris, an attorney who specializes in broadband privacy and a policy fellow at consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge notes that ISPs might be able to figure out where you bank, your political views, and your sexual orientation based on what sites you visit and asserts that "the level of information that they can figure out is beyond what even most customers expect". Various information can be extracted from Internet traffic − for instance "the fact that you're looking at a website can reveal when you're home, when you're not home" and according to her "you don't need to see the contents of every communication to develop efficient ad tracking mechanisms".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Senator Ed Markey states that "President Trump may be outraged by fake violations of his own privacy, but every American should be alarmed by the very real violation of privacy that will result [from] the Republican roll-back of broadband privacy protections".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Cable lobby group NCTA says that they "appreciate today's Senate action to repeal unwarranted FCC rules that deny consumers consistent privacy protection online and violate competitive neutrality".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Michael Capuano asks "What the heck are you thinking? What is in your mind? Why would you want to give out any of our personal information to a faceless corporation for the sole purpose of them selling it? ".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Evan Greer, campaign director of digital rights group Fight for the Future states that "today Congress proved once again that they care more about the wishes of the corporations that fund their campaigns than they do about the safety and security of their constituents". She also states that:


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Gutting these privacy rules won’t just allow internet service providers to spy on us and sell our personal information, it will also enable more unconstitutional mass government surveillance, and fundamentally undermine our cybersecurity by making our sensitive personal information vulnerable to hackers, identity thieves, and foreign governments


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Craig Aaron, Free Press Action Fund President and CEO writes in a statement:


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
Ignoring calls from thousands of their constituents, House Republicans just joined their colleagues in the Senate in violating internet users’ privacy rights. Apparently they see no problem with cable and phone companies snooping on your private medical and financial information, your religious activities or your sex life. They voted to take away the privacy rights of hundreds of millions of Americans just so a few giant companies could pad their already considerable profits. Facing a growing public outcry, they rushed through this vote before more people could find out what was at stake.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Reception
SearchInternetHistory.com is a crowdfunding campaign trying to raise $1 million to buy the browsing history of Republican officeholders like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and then Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and FCC Chair Ajit Pai.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Management
Consumers may switch to ISPs with better privacy protections. However this could be difficult for some as many Americans only have a choice of one or two broadband companies in their area according to federal statistics. Senator Ron Wyden states that thus their only choice may be between "giving up their browsing history for an Internet provider to sell to the highest bidder or having no Internet at all". Furthermore, the existence of such ISPs is not guaranteed and Jeremy Gillula, a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation notes that it's "unclear if they would even have to tell you they were doing it".


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Management
VPN can be used to protect one's data from ISPs. However good VPNs generally cost money, take some effort and minor technical skills to set up, and will slightly degrade the connection speed.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Management
Furthermore, the Tor browser can be used to surf anonymously. This would however significantly slow down connection speed and not be adequate in most cases.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Management
Also ISPs can't look into the encrypted traffic of sites that use TLS whose URLs starts with "HTTPS" but only the domain name. The HTTPS Everywhere browser extension allows for better protection via HTTPS. Also apps that use end-to-end encryption can be used to protect communication contents.


2017 Broadband Consumer Privacy Proposal repeal, Management
Some consumers might assume that they can protect their browsing histories by deleting them or by using privacy modes of browsers such as Chrome's "incognito mode" which is not the case.


2017 Bronx apartment fire
On the night of December 28, 2017, a fire tore through an apartment building in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx. Thirteen people died and 14 were injured. It was the deadliest fire in New York City in 25 years.


2017 Bronx apartment fire
As a result of the fire, the New York City Council passed ordinances mandating self-closing doors and child-safety knobs in apartments, as well as better communication about fire safety between the New York City Fire Department and families with children.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Building
The building housed 26 apartments on 5 floors that were connected by a central staircase, which filled with smoke early during the fire because of the open door. While the building itself did not have any New York City Department of Buildings violations, apartments 5 on the 1st floor and 23 on the 5th floor had faulty smoke detectors. The central section of the building's facade had a fire escape that went from the 5th to 2nd floors.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Fire
Just before 7 p.m. EST, an unattended three-year-old child began playing with the burners on the stove in a first floor apartment at 2363 Prospect Avenue, a five-story building with 26 apartments, home to many Dominican, Trinidadian, Ghanaian, and Jamaican families.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Fire
Soon after, a fire took hold in the kitchen and the boy's screams alerted his mother. But in her hurry to get the boy and his younger sibling out she left the door to their 1st floor apartment open, which enabled the fire to breathe and spread beyond the apartment into the stairwell. The open ventilation enabled the fire to spread more quickly and pump more smoke into the hallway. As the apartment's kitchen went into flash over heat erupted from the open doorway and ignited multiple layers of oil-based paint in the main stairway. The smoke from combustibles in the apartment and the burning walls of the stairway quickly permeated the entire apartment building, and within minutes the fire department was on the scene.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Fire
Firefighters and emergency services began responding to the 4-alarm fire at 18:51.Smoke pouring into the complex was the main challenge for firefighters and civilians. "I opened the door, all I saw was black smoke..." one survivor who lived on the 1st floor told the news. The New York City Fire Commissioner compared the stairway to a "chimney" as it became a conduit for thick, toxic smoke via the stack effect. Smoke seeped into rooms through door frame and ventilation systems, setting off fire alarms throughout the complex and awaking residents.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Fire
Around 170 firefighters responded to the 5-alarm fire. Temperatures that morning were in the teens with wind chill in the single digits, requiring some firefighters to huddle together for warmth as they sprayed water on the blaze. Their quick action was credited for saving dozens of lives.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Victims
12 people were found dead in the aftermath, with one more person passing away at the hospital. The fire ultimately killed 8 adults, 2 teenagers, and 3 children. All of the individuals who died passed away on the upper floors above from where the fire started, mainly due to being obstructed by the thick smoke in the stairwell. Many residents were able to evacuate the upper floors via the fire escapes, but in the process of opening their windows gave the fire more oxygen.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Victims
A United States Army soldier who lived on the 3rd floor, Pfc. Emmanuel Mensah, ran back into the building after evacuating his family. He saved 4 others before succumbing to smoke on the 4th floor.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Aftermath
Mayor Bill de Blasio called the incident "the worst fire tragedy in at least a quarter of a century." New York City officials determined shortly afterwards that the fire had started as a result of a child playing with stove knobs.


2017 Bronx apartment fire, Aftermath
In response to the fire, the New York City Council passed several fire safety resolutions focused on self-closing doors, improved fire alarms, and fire-safety awareness for families with children. Two bills that the Council passed in May 2018 include Int 0609-2018, which requires the fire department to create a plan on educating children and parents on fire-safety, and Int 0602-2018, which requires doors in R-1 and R-2 residential buildings to be self-closing by July 31, 2021. On November 11, 2018, the City Council also enacted Int 1256-2018, which requires "residential occupancies with three or more dwellings" in mixed-use buildings to create fire-safety plans focusing on preventative safety and escape planning for residents during a building fire.

2017 Buenos Aires ePrix
The 2017 Buenos Aires ePrix (formally the 2017 FIA Formula E Buenos Aires ePrix) was a Formula E electric motor race held on 18 February 2017 at the Puerto Madero Street Circuit in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, Argentina in front of a crowd of 21,000 people. It was the third round of the 2016–17 Formula E season and the third running of the event. The 37-lap race was won by e.Dams-Renault driver Sébastien Buemi after starting from third position. Techeetah's Jean-Éric Vergne finished second and Audi Sport ABT driver Lucas di Grassi was third.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix
Di Grassi won the pole position by recording the fastest lap in qualifying and led the first lap. The race was neutralised on the same lap because of Adam Carroll's stalled car and when the race restarted one lap later Vergne challenged di Grassi for the lead and passed him on lap three. Di Grassi lost second place to Buemi soon after and the latter took the lead by overtaking Vergne on the sixth lap.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix
Buemi kept the lead after the mandatory pit stops to switch into his second car but despite having trouble with braking in a straight line Buemi remained in first place for the rest of the race to win. There were four lead changes among four different drivers during the course of the race.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix
It was Buemi's third consecutive victory of the season, the ninth of his career, and he became the first driver in Formula E history to win three successive races. The result increased Buemi's Drivers' Championship advantage over di Grassi to 29 points. Buemi's teammate Nico Prost maintained third position, while Vergne's strong finish moved him to fourth place. e.Dams-Renault extended their Teams' Championship advantage over Audi Sport ABT to 51 points and were a further 23 ahead of Mahindra with nine races left in the season.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Background
The Buenos Aires ePrix was confirmed as part of Formula E's 2016–17 schedule in September 2016 by the FIA World Motor Sport Council. It was the third of twelve single-seater electric car races of the 2016–17 season, the third running of the event, and was held on 18 February 2017 at the Puerto Madero Street Circuit in Puerto Madero. It was announced in November 2016 the race would be the last at the Puterto Madero Street Circuit; the change came about due to redevelopment in the Puterto Madero area.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Background
Before the race e.Dams-Renault driver Sébastien Buemi led the Drivers' Championship with 50 points, 22 ahead of Lucas di Grassi in second and a further four in front of third-placed Nico Prost. Felix Rosenqvist was fourth on 19 points, and Sam Bird rounded out the top five with 18 points. e.Dams-Renault led the Teams' Championship with 74 points; Audi Sport ABT and Mahindra were tied for second position with 36 points each. Virgin stood in fourth on 19 points and were one point ahead of Andretti in fifth place. e.Dams-Renault and Buemi had dominated the championship, winning the season's previous two races. Di Grassi and Bird had each finished second once, while Nick Heidfeld and his teammate Rosenqvist had both placed third once.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Background
Buemi had yet to win in Buenos Aires after losing the 2015 victory due to a crash late on and qualified at the back in the 2016 race where he recovered to finish second. He stated his hope to qualify well and win the race: "I’ve always been very competitive in Buenos Aires, however I’ve never translated it into the win, so I’m hoping to make that happen this year." Di Grassi revealed his team's objective was to win in Buenos Aires and accumulate as many points as possible.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Background
He believed the circuit would suit his car following development to it over the hiatus. After being unable to win in Marrakesh because of various issues, Rosenqvist revealed he gathered his team members for a meeting to discuss improvements and set himself the objective of winning for the first time in Formula E and prepared for the race in the Mahindra simulator. Bird, the 2016 winner, said Buemi was the one to watch out for and hoped to avoid the sub-par results from the season's last two races. Oliver Turvey of NextEV felt in 2016, he quickly gained confidence driving the track and was optimistic about continuing his team's development and expected to challenge for a podium or race victory.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Practice
Two practice sessions—both on Saturday morning—were held before the Saturday late afternoon race. The first session ran for 45 minutes and the second for 30 minutes. A 30-minute shakedown session was held on Friday afternoon before the practice sessions and had António Félix da Costa record the fastest time of 1 minute, 18.1 seconds, ahead of Rosenqvist in second and Heidfeld third. Both practice sessions took place in dry weather. José María López 200 kW (270 hp) of power to set the first session's fastest lap at 1 minute, 9.431 seconds, 0.628 seconds quicker than Techeetah's Jean-Éric Vergne in second.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Practice
Mitch Evans of Jaguar, Buemi, Bird, Rosenqvist, Prost, di Grassi, Turvey and Nelson Piquet Jr. (NextEV) rounded out the session's top ten drivers. The session was twice stopped when Félix da Costa lost control of his car's rear and hit the turn six barrier. Félix da Costa's damaged car was transported to his garage for repairs and drove his second vehicle. He later stopped on track, ending the session early.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Practice
In the second practice session, Bird was quickest with a lap of 1 minute. 8.792 seconds, ahead of Rosenqvist, di Grassi third. Buemi, Robin Frijns, Piquet, Turvey, Vergne, Prost and Maro Engel (Venturi). Turvey hit the chicane's barrier with Adam Carroll and Bird spinning their cars in turn five. Loïc Duval's left-front tyre lost a wheel nut, causing it to detach and stopping the session. As a result of the stoppage to retrieve Duval's tire and the two in first practice, the second session was extended by five minutes.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Practice
Shortly after practice restarted, Engel stopped at the turn one exit with car problems but a second stoppage was not required because he was off the track. Di Grassi pushed hard and hit the turn four wall, damaging his car's front-right corner and rear; yellow flags were waved to warn drivers about the crash.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
Saturday afternoon's qualifying session ran for 60 minutes and was divided into four groups of five cars. Each group was determined by a lottery system and was permitted six minutes of on-track activity. All drivers were limited to two timed laps with one at maximum power. The fastest five overall competitors in the four groups participated in a "Super Pole" session with one driver on the track at any time going out in reverse order from fifth to first.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
Each of the five drivers was limited to one timed lap and the starting order was determined by the competitor's fastest times (Super Pole from first to fifth, and group qualifying from sixth to twentieth). The driver and team who recorded the fastest time were awarded three points towards their respective championships. The session was held in warm and dry weather.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
In the first group, Evans was quickest, three-tenths of a second faster than Bird in second, and Frijns third. Evans' teammate Carroll and Engel (who stopped twice on track because of technical issues) were the group's two slowest drivers. Bird cited difficulty in gaining optimum tyre temperature for his performance. Vergne used clear air to go fastest in the second group with a late lap that was two-tenths of a second faster than Buemi. Di Grassi, Piquet and Jérôme d'Ambrosio rounded out the top five.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
The third session was delayed when Vergne and Piquet were investigated by the stewards for an irregularity. Félix da Costa stopped his car on the racing line at the turn one exit and the yellow flag was shown until he performed a restart, allowing him to keep driving. Rosenqvist was fastest in the third group, with Stéphane Sarrazin and Duval second and third. An oversteer through turn seven put López into a barrier, and damaged the car's rear-right corner. He stopped further down the track and the session was temporarily stopped. Race control granted Félix da Costa permission to complete his timed lap but damaged his front-right suspension in an collision with the chicane's inside barrier. Both López and Félix da Costa started the race from the grid's ninth row.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
In the fourth group, Turvey was fastest by more than one second than teammate Piquet. Prost was third-fastest, and led until Turvey's lap. Both Daniel Abt and Ma Qinghua collided with the turn four exit barrier, curtailing their session. After group qualifying, Turvey, Piquet, di Grassi, Vergne and Buemi qualified for super pole by recording fast enough lap times. The start of the super pole session was delayed to cater for the removal of a bollard at the chicane.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
Piquet was the first driver to attempt his lap in super pole, losing half a second because he locked his front tyres and struggled with the rear balance of his car and was fifth. Turvey lacked grip through the seventh turn, causing him to lock his tyres and missed the following turn's apex and took fourth position. Despite going slower than Turvey in the track's first third, di Grassi drove cleanly through turn seven to record a provisional pole position lap time of 1 minute, 9.404 seconds.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Qualifying
Buemi started his lap cleanly but lost half a second in the track's first third by locking his tyres which placed him off the racing line and took third. Vergne was the fastest driver in the first third of the lap but heavily locked his tyres, qualifying second. Hence, di Grassi secured his first pole position in Formula E. The rest of the grid lined up as Prost, Evans, Rosenqvist, d'Ambrosio, Bird, Sarrazin, Heidfeld, Frijns, Duval, Carroll, Abt, Félix da Costa, López, Ma and Engel.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
A special feature of Formula E is the "Fan Boost" feature, an additional 100 kW (130 hp) of power to use in the driver's second car. The three drivers who were allowed to use the boost were determined by a fan vote. For the Buenos Aires race, Buemi, di Grassi and Abt were handed the extra power. The weather at the start were dry and sunny with the air temperature between 29.0 to 29.7 °C (84.2 to 85.5 °F) with a track temperature at 26 °C (79 °F); a 90 per cent chance of rain was forecast.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
When the race started at 16:00 Argentina Time (UTC+3) before 21,000 attendees, di Grassi maintained the lead entering the first turn. Vergne held off Buemi to keep second. Rosenqvist made a brisk start, overtaking Evans and Prost and challenged Piquet for fifth. The full course yellow was necessitated when Carroll was unable to move off the grid but was able to restart his car as the field came to lap him. Carroll was ordered by his team to catch up to everyone else while abiding by the full course yellow speed limit. At the end of the first lap, di Grassi led from Vergne, Buemi, Turvey, Piquet, Rosenqvist, Prost, d'Ambrosio, Bird and Evans.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
The race restarted on lap two with di Grassi leading and Vergne second. Evans overtook d'Ambrosio to move into eighth place, while Vergne began challenging di Grassi for the lead. Vergne passed di Grassi at turn four on the third lap to claim the lead and di Grassi immediately battled Buemi for second position. Buemi overtook di Grassi for second place three corners later, while Vergne set what was at that point the fastest lap of the race—at 1 minute, 12.926 seconds—to pull away from Buemi.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
After sustaining damage to his vehicle's rear-right suspension, Bird fell to the rear of the field. Piquet went off the racing line and lost fifth position to Prost. Buemi got a fast exit through the final corner, drafted off Vergne before turning left onto the inside line and passed him by braking late to take the lead at the first corner on lap six.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Buemi took a wide line to prevent Vergne from retaking the position entering turn two. Di Grassi struggled with his car's handling and Turvey overtook him for third place and Prost closed the gap to di Grassi. Buemi pulled away from the rest of the field. Bird made a pit stop with the damage to his car and switched into his second vehicle, intending to recording the fastest lap but he would not be able to finish the race.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Engel stopped on the track with powertrain issues; after he restarted, he was shown a black flag with an orange circle, requiring him to enter the pit lane to repair car damage. Prost overtook di Grassi around the inside at turn four to claim fourth position on lap 12, and Piquet reduced the time deficit to di Grassi. López forced Sarrazin wide through the fourth turn to take over 18th on the following lap. Buemi led Vergne by 4.5 seconds Vergne with Turvey, Prost and di Grassi close by for the third place battle.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
The mandatory pit stops change into a second car began on lap 19 when Turvey, Evans and Duval entered the pit lane. Evans was imposed a five-second time penalty after he was observed to have exceeded the speed limit under full course yellow conditions. Most drivers followed one lap later and after the pit stops Buemi was in third place. Di Grassi was released into Piquet's path, causing the latter to brake to avoid a collision. Engel lost engine power at his pit stop and retired from the race. Mahindra elected to keep their drivers Rosenqvist and Heideld on the track for one further lap to allow both drivers to push in the finals laps from having more electrical energy.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Rosenqvist's car failed to start because of a battery management system problem that left him stationary in his garage for one minute longer than usual, and rejoined the circuit in 17th place. Di Grassi closed up to Prost, used an error by the latter leaving the final turn, and overtook him by braking late on the inside into the first turn for third on lap 24. Frijns battled Abt for tenth because the latter was delaying several cars but later used FanBoost to pull away.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Heidfeld overtook Sarrazin and Frijns for 11th but the stewards imposed a five-second time penalty on him for exceeding the minimum pit stop time by four-tenths of a second and fell to 15th. Di Grassi pushed hard in an effort to close up to Vergne but he reacted by stabilising his lead to two seconds. Buemi activated FanBoost to extend his advantage over Vergne, while Rosenqvist set the race's fastest lap (and overall race track record) at 1 minute, 9.467 seconds on lap 31, earning him one point. Lopez gained three positions to run in 11th by lap 35 and the stewards announced that di Grassi was under investigation for his pit stop release on that lap.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Both Dragon drivers were informed over their radios that they had to ensure that they finished the race while Duval was told d'Ambrosio had more electrical energy. Duval reduced the time deficit to teammate d'Ambrosio and attempted an overtake for sixth place, causing light contact between the duo and passed him. Abt overtook Turvey for eighth. On the final lap, Bird was forced wide into a wall by d'Ambrosio, causing him to retire.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Despite braking difficulties on his second car that rendered him unable to brake in a straight line, Buemi took his third victory of the season, the ninth of his career, and became the first driver in the history of Formula E to win three consecutive races. Vergne finished 2.9 seconds behind in second, with di Grassi in third, Prost fourth, Piquet fifth and Duval sixth. Abt used the rest of his electrical energy to pass d'Ambrosio for seventh. Turvey's car overheated and took ninth and López finished tenth. Félix da Costa and Sarrazin finished 11th and 12th.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race
Evans was in a points-scoring position but a slower pace dropped him to 13th. Frijns, Heidfeld, Ma, Carroll and Rosenqvist were the final finishers. There were four lead changes in the race; four drivers reached the front of the field. Buemi led twice for a total of 31 laps, more than any other competitor.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
The top three drivers appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and spoke to the media in a later press conference. Buemi was delighted with the race victory, praising his team for their work and said he was hopeful his recent form would continue into the season's next rounds. His team was concerned over his battery overheating; Buemi stated that he drove cautiously in the first few laps to know where he was and that he had the situation under control.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
Second-place finisher Vergne was delighted because of his relatively new team having had no prior testing of his car, new personnel and equipment.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
He said he corrected the problems he had in the season's first two races and felt certain that he would focus on winning races: "I think the whole team did a fantastic job, working really, really hard, sometimes many hours overnight and in the end it paid off." Di Grassi, who finished in third, said that it was a good day for his team although he acknowledged he was not on the same pace levels as the e.Dams-Renaults. He revealed his first car had excess oversteer and stated the smallest of change would make a large difference in terms of the championship.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
Di Grassi was imposed a formal reprimand and a €1,500 fine by the stewards for the pit stop release that caused Piquet to brake to avoid hitting him. Piquet felt it was unfair for different punishments to exist for the same penalty and complained of inconsistency from the stewards. He warned drivers would become quickly disenchanted and believed stewards would not be taken seriously in the future. Piquet advocated for more people to observe the track, install more cameras and a GPS system in all cars.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
D'Ambrosio felt aggrieved over the battle between his teammate Duval, saying it was "a little bit of a pity" and was unsure whether it was a misunderstanding. Duval insisted the battle was firm but fair, saying he gave d'Ambrosio room but would make it difficult for anyone to overtake him: "As you have seen in the past though we have had fights and most of the time I was really gentle, and this weekend I was in this position where I was competitive and I had less energy available so I fought." Dragon's team principal Jay Penske revealed his drivers were allowed to battle each other cleanly but if one eliminated the other from contention, that driver would be required to miss the following race.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
Attention also focused on Jaguar's improved pace in Buenos Aires. Prior to the race, the team had been criticised by the media for their inability to perform well in Formula E with some publications criticising the decision to sign Evans and Carroll to the squad. Evans said his improved performance encouraged Jaguar's staff and made the team more confident: "If you look at the bigger picture, I’ve got to be satisfied with today. Qualifying was great, to be honest, I topped the group.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
If you ask me or the whole team if this would have happened after Marrakesh, we would have taken it with both hands." Carroll stated he hoped to have perform well in Buenos Aires and go quicker but it was an issue that could be improved on. Jaguar team principal James Barclay said the improvement was "a little bit of a positive surprise" but was unsure if Carroll's problem at the start was caused by driver error or an electrical issue. He admitted the team had to improve their understanding of the full course yellow procedure in future races.


2017 Buenos Aires ePrix, Race, Post-race
The result extended Buemi's lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to 29 points in front of second-placed di Grassi, who in turn, was a further ten ahead of Prost in third. Vergne's second-place finish moved him to fourth on 22 points and Rosenqvist was fifth on 20 points. e.Dams-Renault's strong result increased their advantage in the Teams' Championship over Audi Sport ABT to 51 points, with Mahindra remaining in third place on 37 points. NextEV moved into fourth on 25 points with Techeetah three points behind in fifth with nine rounds left in the season.

2017 Buffalo Bandits season, Roster, Entry Draft
The 2016 NLL Entry Draft took place on September 26, 2016. The Bandits made the following selections:


2017 Buffalo Bills season
The 2017 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 58th overall season, 48th in the National Football League and third full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula. The season was the first under the leadership of general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott.


2017 Buffalo Bills season
On December 31, 2017, the final week of the regular season, the Bills finally ended what would have been their 18-year playoff drought (previously the longest active drought in the NFL and the longest active playoff drought among the four major professional North American sport leagues) with the Bills winning 22–16 over the Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals upsetting the Baltimore Ravens 31–27. The Bills also improved on their 7–9 record from 2016 and clinched their first winning season since 2014 (when Doug Marrone was head coach). However, the Bills lost the Wild Card game against Jacksonville 10–3, extending their playoff victory drought to 22 years.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Offseason
Beane joined the Bills after 19 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, the last two as assistant to then-general manager Dave Gettleman. Beane, who signed an undisclosed deal on May 9, 2017, replaced Doug Whaley, who was fired by Pegula after the 2017 NFL Draft. Whaley was fired, along with the team's entire scouting staff, on April 30, 2017, less than 12 hours after the conclusion of the 2017 NFL Draft. Over the course of the 2016 offseason and into the 2017 season, many of Whaley's draft picks were purged from the roster in trades and cuts.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Offseason
Of the 28 players Whaley had drafted from 2014 to 2017, only nine were still on the roster by the end of August. The 2017 season was also the first under McDermott, who spent the previous eight seasons as defensive coordinator, the last six with the Panthers. McDermott, who signed an undisclosed deal on January 11, 2017, replaced Rex Ryan, who was fired along with his twin brother Rob on December 27, 2016.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. New York Jets
With the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots losing 42–27 to the Kansas City Chiefs to kick off the 2017 NFL season and Hurricane Irma delaying the game between the Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Week 11, the Bills hoped to take advantage and grab first place in the AFC East by beating the Jets, who swept them in 2016. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw 1-yard touchdown passes to both tight end Charles Clay and wide receiver Andre Holmes, while fullback Mike Tolbert rushed for a third touchdown.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 1: vs. New York Jets
With Tolbert's score, the Bills recorded a rushing touchdown in 13 straight games, tying a team record set in 1980 and extending the longest active streak in the NFL. Safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde both got their first takeaways as Bills in the fourth quarter, with Hyde's interception ending any hope of a Jets rally. With the win, the Bills opened the season at 1–0 and in first place in the AFC East heading into their Week 2 matchup with head coach Sean McDermott's former team, the Carolina Panthers.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 2: at Carolina Panthers
Looking for their first 2–0 start since 2014, the Bills traveled to Bank of America Stadium for an inter-conference matchup with the Panthers. Many former Panthers players and personnel made their return to Carolina as members of the Bills, including fullback Mike Tolbert, cornerback Leonard Johnson, wide receiver Kaelin Clay, general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 2: at Carolina Panthers
Unfortunately, despite the defense sacking Panthers quarterback Cam Newton six times and only allowing three field goals from Graham Gano, the Bills offense could not take advantage, only managing a 45-yard field goal from Steven Hauschka in the fourth quarter, the team's lowest points since losing 45–3 to the San Francisco 49ers in 2012. A potential game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Tyrod Taylor to rookie WR Zay Jones on 4th-and-11 with 9 seconds remaining sailed off Jones’ fingertips, putting the game away for the Panthers. The Bills fell to 1–1 with the loss.

Following a close loss to the Panthers, the Bills returned home to host the Denver Broncos.

The Bills defense intercepted quarterback Trevor Siemian twice as the team won a close-fought game 26–16. An unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty against linebacker Von Miller allowed the Bills to continue a stalled drive in the fourth quarter and ice the game with Hauschka's fourth field goal. With the win, the Bills improved to 2–1 heading into their Week 4 matchup against the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons.

Looking to continue their winning ways after upsetting the Broncos the previous week, the Bills traveled to Atlanta to take on the Atlanta Falcons, who made it to the Super Bowl the previous season, as fullback Patrick DiMarco made his first return to Atlanta since signing with the Bills in free agency. The Bills defense held the Falcons in check for most of the game and tight end Charles Clay recorded his first 100-yard receiving game since 2015.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 4: at Atlanta Falcons
A key highlight was a fumble from Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan that arguably looked like a forward pass, but was ruled a fumble and returned for a 52-yard touchdown by rookie cornerback Tre'Davious White. With the win, the Bills improve to 3–1 for the first time since 2011 and regained sole possession of first place in the AFC East with the Patriots losing 33–30 to the Panthers, but lost starting receiver Jordan Matthews and starting linebacker Ramon Humber to multi-week thumb injuries.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 5: at Cincinnati Bengals
Looking to continue their winning ways after upsetting the Falcons the week prior, the Bills traveled down to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, who got their first win of the season when they defeated their rival Cleveland Browns 31–7 the previous week. Already missing wideout Jordan Matthews, the Bills offense sputtered for the most part after tight end Charles Clay suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and was ruled out the rest of the game. The Bengals rallied behind strong performances from quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A. J. Green despite the duo committing three turnovers, and won a close-fought game in the rain 20–16. With the loss, Buffalo fell to 3–2 going into their bye week.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 7: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Fresh off their bye week, the Bills returned home to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. LeSean McCoy scored his first two touchdowns of the season as the Bills won a shootout match 30–27, with their final 10 points coming in the last three minutes of the game. With Tampa Bay taking the lead after forcing McCoy to fumble and capitalizing with a Mike Evans touchdown pass from Jameis Winston, Tyrod Taylor led the Bills 75 yards downfield, connecting with newly signed receiver Deonte Thompson for 44 yards to help set up McCoy's second touchdown. Tre'Davious White then forced the Buccaneers to fumble on their ensuing drive, setting up Steven Hauschka's game winning field goal. The Bills improve to 4–2 with the win.

2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 8: vs. Oakland Raiders
The Bills hosted the Oakland Raiders in week 8. This was the first week they were without All-Pro defensive lineman Marcell Dareus, who was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round draft pick just two days prior to the game. Nonetheless, the defense was still able to limit a potent Raiders offense to just 14 points, causing four turnovers in the process. LeSean McCoy led the team with over 180 yards from scrimmage and rookie linebacker Matt Milano also scored off a fumble recovery. With the win, the Bills improved to 5–2 for the third time since 2008.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 9: at New York Jets
Coming off the convincing win against Oakland, the Bills traveled to New York for a Thursday Night rematch against their division rivals, the New York Jets. Though heavily favored to win, the Bills played poorly on defense and allowed the Jets to run for 194 yards and three rushing touchdowns. The offense surrendered three fumbles which ultimately influenced the course of the game, despite receivers Zay Jones and Deonte Thompson catching their first touchdowns as members of the Bills. With the loss, the Bills fell to 5–3.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 10: vs. New Orleans Saints
For the second consecutive week, the Bills run defense under-performed, allowing 296 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints. To make matters worse, the offense was unable to stay on the field, attaining only five first downs and a field goal prior to rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman replacing Tyrod Taylor late in the fourth quarter. With the blowout loss, the Bills fall to 5–4.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 11: at Los Angeles Chargers
Nathan Peterman started in Tyrod Taylor's place. Peterman was benched at halftime after going 6 of 14 for 66 yards with 5 interceptions.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 12: at Kansas City Chiefs
After consecutive weeks of playing bad defense, the Bills were finally able to rebound, holding Kansas City to just 10 points as Tyrod Taylor returned to the starting lineup on offense. Tre'Davious White sealed the win for Buffalo in the fourth quarter with an interception off Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. With the win, the Bills snap their three-game losing streak and improve to 6–5.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 13: vs. New England Patriots
Though Buffalo was able to hold the potent New England Patriots offense to just nine first-half points, it was not enough to beat them, as the Patriots won 23–3. Multiple Bills starters were injured, including Tyrod Taylor and Shaq Lawson. Perhaps the defining moment of the game occurred in the fourth quarter, when Tre'Davious White intercepted a pass intended for Rob Gronkowski. Upset that no pass interference penalty was called on White, Gronkowski reacted by jumping elbow-first onto White, who was still on the ground. The play resulted in White landing on the concussion protocol and Gronkowski receiving a one-game suspension as a result of his actions.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 14: vs. Indianapolis Colts
The game against Indianapolis, called the "Snow Bowl" by the media, was notable for being held in the midst of a lake-effect snow storm that left over a foot of snow on the stadium's turf. The heavy snow and strong winds caused severe complications, making it difficult for CBS to televise the game due to low visibility and prompting both teams to run the ball far more often and make more fourth-down conversion attempts than would otherwise have been attempted, since kicking the ball was less reliable.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 14: vs. Indianapolis Colts
The amount of snow on the ground did prove to be an advantage for the punters, since the ball did not bounce upon landing, making precision coffin corner punts easier. Nathan Peterman made his second start with Tyrod Taylor injured, and was able to post a respectable performance before leaving in the third quarter with a concussion. The low-scoring game went into overtime, and did not end until LeSean McCoy rushed for a touchdown with under two minutes to go in the extra period. The Bills improved to 7–6 with the win.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 15: vs. Miami Dolphins
LeSean McCoy surpassed 10,000 rushing yards during the game, becoming just the 30th NFL running back to do so.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 16: at New England Patriots
A play near the end of the second quarter proved to be particularly controversial. Receiver Kelvin Benjamin caught a pass in the closing seconds of the second quarter that was initially ruled a touchdown by the on-field officials; however, the league's replay official, Alberto Riveron, determined that Benjamin did not have control of the ball until after his foot left the turf and Riveron overturned the touchdown, forcing the Bills to settle for a field goal. Bills owner Terrence Pegula indicated he would protest the decision. Though the first half was close, the Patriots outscored the Bills 24–3 in the second half, culminating in a 37–16 loss for Buffalo.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 17: at Miami Dolphins
The Bills started off the game up 10–0 by halftime and 19–0 by the time the Dolphins added a field goal. The Bills then fought off a comeback, including a fight that saw Jarvis Landry and Kenyan Drake get ejected. After a Miami touchdown that left them down six, history from the Bills–Dolphins game two weeks prior repeated itself: the Dolphins recovered an onside kick, then threw an interception with a minute to go to seal the game. With the win, Buffalo improved to 9–7, earning its first winning season since 2014.


2017 Buffalo Bills season, Regular season, Game summaries, Week 17: at Miami Dolphins
At the end of the game, the Bills were still waiting for the final outcome between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens to determine their fates for the season. With 49 seconds left in that game, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw a 49-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd on a 4th-and-12 play to go up 31–27. The Ravens were unable to respond on the following drive, sealing the win for the Bengals. The Bengals' victory ended the Ravens season with a 9–7 record. This allowed the Bills, also 9–7, to enter the playoffs with the tiebreaker over the Ravens, thus reaching the postseason for the first time in 17 years.
