MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Lewis Hamilton is not expecting an easy race at the Singapore Grand Prix after struggling for performance during qualifying at the Marina Bay street circuit.Hamilton qualified 0.7s off teammate Nico Rosberg and will start the race from third on the grid behind Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo. After losing practice time on Friday with a technical issue, Hamilton said he struggled to find a set-up ahead of qualifying and is concerned it could also impact his race pace.Honestly I cant really take you through it [the problem] because I dont understand it all at the moment, he said. Theyre trying to understand everything. There are several different things that could be the issue, but I dont know just yet. Ill just sit in there with my engineers trying to figure it out.I didnt do the long run on Friday so I dont know [how it will impact race pace]. I might luck in and it might be just right for tomorrow, but it doesnt sound particularly likely that that is the case.It might be the case that it is just not great and I should still be able to hold position at least, so I will find out tomorrow. But for sure the time lost yesterday is proving to be more valuable than I thought.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the team had failed in finding the right set-up for Hamilton this weekend.Lewis car was not where it should have been after FP1. As you know it is not always easy to find the right compromise with the set-up of the car and getting the tyre in the right window and giving the driver a comfortable feeling and here we have failed. He didnt have a car today that he was able to extract all of the performance from. The set-up was not right. He didnt have the tool.First of all you have to give the driver running time and we havent given him running time because the car broke down yesterday and if you cant run the car here, you cant find out which set-up works for you and you cant really gain confidence in the car either, which was less his particular problem. It was more the car didnt generate any grip or didnt generate the amount of grip that Nico had.Hamilton said it would be difficult to pass the Red Bull in front of him if he does not make a move stick into the first corner.Getting past Daniel could be a pit stop or a Safety Car, generally thats the only way to get past. I dont know which one is going to work for me. Obviously I will try and get him at the start, but if I dont then I will just try and stay close behind but their tyres should be able to go a long way and theyve got more downforce as well so they are in a very strong position.Cheap Basketball Jerseys .

With golfs return to the Olympic Games on the near horizon, the United States one-point victory over South Korea showed what will be lacking in Rio de Janeiro.Sure, golfers will be representing their country in Brazil as they did at the International Crown, which features eight four-woman teams playing three days of four-ball matches with five teams making it to a final day of singles. But it will be 72 holes of individual stroke play for men and women in South America, a format that, while common and understandable to casual fans, will lack the elements that energize competitors and spectators alike when it is team against team.I think for the Olympics its kind of all new to us, so whereas youre representing Team USA youre playing as individuals, Gerina Piller, who was part of the American victory and will compete in Rio, told reporters in Illinois. Its kind of hard to tell how thats going to be. I know that were probably going to be hanging out a lot together, and Im excited to just be part of Team USA, not just golf.Piller, Stacy Lewis and Lexi Thompson, the U.S. Olympic women golfers, were joined by Cristie Kerr at the International Crown, staging a scale-model comeback of the historic final-day rally they were part of at the 2015 Solheim Cup, when America made up a record deficit to defeat Europe.Through three days at the Merit Club, England was the surprise leader with nine points followed by South Korea (8), with the U.S. (7), Chinese Taipei (7) and Japan (4) completing the qualifiers for the last day. Just having an opportunity to win on Sunday was progress for the Americans compared to the inaugural International Crown in 2014 when they failed to advance out of pool play -- particularly after being shut out on Day 1 last week.We had zero points the first day, and we still ended up with the most, Lewis said of the 13-12 triumph over South Korea. Its just a testament to [my teammates] and their will to want to win this thing.Lewis set the mood for the Americans in singles, defeating Japans Mika Miyazato 3 and 2. Piller, Lewis partner in better-ball, then beat Yani Tseng of Chinese Taipei 4 and 3. After play was suspended for an hour because of a thunderstorm, Kerrs 3-and-2 victory over Englands Mel Reid secured the Crown title. Then Thompson lost 2-and-1 to So Yeon Ryu of Korea in a match that didnt affect the outcome.The victory could provide some confidence for the Americans, not only for the three who will compete in Rio but for all of them in this weeks Ricoh Womens British Open at Woburn Golf Club.dddddddddddd. U.S. players have won only two of 21 LPGA events in 2016 -- Thompson at the Honda LPGA Thailand and Brittany Lang at the U.S. Womens Open -- as the globalization of the womens game has been front and center.Lewis described the team victory as particularly satisfying in the context of constant scrutiny of why arent the Americans playing well, why arent they winning? The result could buoy her game as the 11-time career LPGA winner tries to break a two-year drought. Lewis was in a similar position after the 2015 Solheim Cup, when pairings with Piller seemed to awaken her game.Similarly, Kerr was a good influence paired with Thompson at the Merit Club. One of the best putters in womens golf, Kerr, 38, read putts for her partner 17 years her junior. Thompsons putting, the element that can hold her back, was torrid for a couple of days beside Kerr. In her singles match, Thompson missed two short putts on the front nine against Ryu, providing an opening for the talented Korean.How quickly things can change in the womens game showed in the makeup of the International Crown field compared to 2014. Defending champion Spain and Sweden didnt qualify -- the teams are determined by the combined Rolex Rankings of the top four players from each country -- and were replaced by China and England.Had England been able to hold on the lead after three days, it would have been a remarkable upset, particularly given that it narrowly lost a second-day four-ball match when Reid had to take on two opponents because partner Charley Hull was ill and unable to play. Thats the kind of twist that can occur when the format isnt that found week to week on tour.The same could be said of the drama in the playoff to determine the fifth team to make it the final day. Japans Ayaka Watanabe rolled in a 30-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole to eliminate China and Thailand, Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand lipping out a 15-footer that would have extended the playoff.After two stagings in the United States in 2018 the International Crown will be played at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea, site of the heavily attended 2015 Presidents Cup. For a country crazy about womens golf, whose players have made such an impact on the game in the last two decades, it will be a very big deal. As a home-field advantage, it will like Ohio State in the Shoe or Clemson in Death Valley. Flags will wave. Roars will reverberate.And it certainly wont be mistaken for just another tournament. ' ' '
