SINGAPORE -- For Nico Rosberg, early retirement from the Singapore Grand Prix was painful. Isaac Seumalo Jersey . Seeing his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton win the race and snatch back the championship lead was agonizing. Hamilton won his seventh race of the season Sunday to move to 241 points, ahead of Rosberg on 238 with five races left. The advantage is thin but the Briton carries all the momentum after back-to-back victories and Rosbergs hopes of his first F1 title are diminishing. Hamilton started from pole position and led comfortably for much of the race but was forced into a late pit-stop, briefly giving up the race lead to Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel, before he passed the German seven laps from the finish to win by 13.5 seconds at the Marina Bay circuit. Rosberg was forced to start from pit-lane due to a failure on the installation lap, and he did 14 laps at the back of the field in the stricken car before retiring. The team identified a problem in the steering column, which prevented full usage of the steering wheel, affecting gear selection and preventing use of stored battery power. "I came here hoping to gain seven points (on Rosberg) and thinking anything more than that is a bonus," Hamilton said. "Those extra points are a huge help. "This is game time. This is about hunting. In my head, I dont think I am leading the championship. There are still five races left and all Im going to do is what Ive done in the last two races which is just attack every session." Though Rosberg tried everything to get the car into working mode, he knew from the moment the car failed to start on the warm-up lap that it was hopeless. ""It was a horrible feeling to see everyone go because then I knew it was over," Rosberg said. "There was just no point in continuing. So a tough day really." Vettel, who temporarily looked like winning Singapore for the fourth-straight year, finished second, just holding off Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who moved to 60 points off the championship lead. Ferraris Fernando Alonso was fourth. Second to fourth places were separated by just 1.8 seconds. Williams driver Felipe Massa was fifth, ahead of fast-finishing Toro Rosso driver Jean-Eric Vergne. Seventh through 10th places were fought out right until the final corner, with Sergio Perez of Force India seventh and his teammate Nico Hulkenberg ninth, while Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen was eighth and McLarens Kevin Magnussen 10th. Valtteri Bottas of Williams was seventh on the penultimate lap but ended up out of the points in 11th in a chaotic finish among the lower end of the points-yielding places. Hamilton had built a six-second lead over Alonso when the safety car emerged on lap 31 following a crash between Perez and Saubers Adrian Sutil. Alonso pitted immediately onto the harder tire, putting him on the same rubber as Vettel and Ricciardo, and the lengthy six-lap safety-car period meant they switched strategy and decided to run to the end on those tires. Hamilton, however, had to make another pit-stop as he had not yet used the harder tire, so once the safety car came in he set about building his lead, trying to get it out to 27 seconds to enable him to pit and still emerge in front. Though his tires did not have quite enough life to do that -- getting his lead out to just over 25 seconds -- he emerged from his stop behind Vettel, whose tires were very worn. The German was a sitting duck and Hamilton swept past easily to reclaim the lead. "The safety-car came at the worst possible time for us," Vettel said. "There was a lot of pressure from Dan and Fernando behind, so I am very happy to make it to P2 (second)." Ricciardo was right on the back of Vettel in the closing stages, with marginally fresher tires, but was not able to make a passing attempt. However, he did stay ahead of Alonso, who was on the newest tires of the trio. "I did expect (Alonso) to come on a bit harder ... but we fell into each others pace," Ricciardo said. "It was follow-the-leader and there was not much else to do." Zach Ertz Jersey . Ilonen birdied five of his closing seven holes in superb scoring conditions to end the day with a two-shot lead on the Fota Island course. Ilonen had just 26 putts on the occasion of his 300th European Tour event. Wes Hopkins Jersey . As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers opened their main training camp Sunday, Kuale is one of the newcomers brought in to bolster a sagging defence that ranked overall where the Bombers finished 2013, in the CFL cellar with a league high 585 points against. http://www.theeaglesshoponline.com/Youth-Brandon-Brooks-Eagles-Jersey/ . - Florida State has suspended Jameis Winston for the entire game against Clemson on Saturday, extending its initial punishment of one half after the quarterback made offensive and vulgar comments about female anatomy earlier this week.6) I grant you, Juan Francisco homered against Texas on Sunday, but he also committed two errors at third base while Brett Lawrie committed one at second base. I promise I wont hammer away at this every week, but shouldnt Lawrie be the Blue Jays everyday third baseman? (Ill revisit this next week).7) Would the Los Angeles Kings players laugh at coach Darryl Sutter if he told them that game two against Chicago was a "must win" game?8) Mike Weir lost by two strokes at the Byron Nelson and missed two four-foot putts on consecutive holes during Saturdays third round. Its not as simple as saying that Weir should have been in a playoff with Brendon Todd, but can we not agree that we could have made those putts?9) Tony LaRussa is in charge of the Arizona Diamondbacks as their "Chief BASEBALL Officer". This title was chosen why—to avoid confusion?10) This is 2014. Qatar is scheduled to host soccers World Cup in 2022. Do you worry about anything else that may or may not happen eight years from now?11) If there was nothing wrong with Sidney Crosby, I still want to know what was wrong with Sidney Crosby, dont you?12) If the Indiana Pacers win the NBA title, or if they make the NBA Finals, will NBA analysts who called the Pacers the most dysfunctional team ever known stop being NBA analysts?13) Thomas Vanek will soon be in the news when the New York Islanders decide which year, this or next, their first-round draft pick will revert to the Buffalo Sabres as part of the payment for Vanek. Meanwhile, shouldnt Vanek be making news now, as a member of the Montreal Canadiens? Or is being invisible newsworthy?14) Speaking of the Buffalo Sabres, if the next NHL season begins with them looking for a goalie and Ryan Miller looking for a team…. Patrick Robinson Jersey. hould I continue?15) When the Cleveland Browns say that Johnny Manziel did not display a "diva-style" personality at their rookie minicamp, do you want to say "Hey, Cleveland Browns, it was only rookie minicamp"?16) Do you believe that good spring training results lead to good regular-season results? If so, you should offer as proof Melky Cabreras MLB-leading 30 spring hits, and his current regular-season total of 58, #2 in the majors. You should not refer to the spring-best RBI total of Kansas Citys Mike Moustakas. He knocked in 18 runs in 56 exhibition at-bats, and he has followed with 17 RBI in 121 regular-season at-bats, and a .153 batting average.17) I dont want to gang up on umpires, but wouldnt it be funny to hear one say that the 50 per cent of his calls that were upheld by video review were the ones he thought he had blown?18) Is Mark Jackson an NBA coach who sometimes broadcasts NBA games, or is he an NBA broadcaster who sometimes coaches NBA games?19) Are you a Blue Jays fan who longs to see a perplexed John Farrell in the dugout of the Boston Red Sox? You should have been watching the DET-BOS weekend series, or maybe youll get another chance this week. Its up to the Jays, because the Red Sox are doing their best to play their worst.20) And finally…..the thing Ive learned about this story of California Chrome and breathing strips is that breathing strips still exist. Remember when they were all the rage for humans? Is it only horses that wear them now?
