SEPANG, Malaysia -- A furious Lewis Hamilton demanded answers from his Mercedes team after an engine failure cost him victory in Sundays Malaysian Grand Prix and severely dented his chances of winning this years Formula One drivers championship. Stan Mikita Jersey .Hamilton was leading on lap 41 of 56 at the Sepang International Circuit when his engine blew, handing the race lead and ultimately victory to Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo.It was Ricciardos first victory since the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix, leading a one-two finish with his teenage teammate Max Verstappen.More painfully, it gave Hamiltons Mercedes teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg -- who finished an impressive third -- a 23-point lead in the championship. Rosberg had to fight back from 21st place after lap one when he was the innocent party in a collision with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel.With five races left in the season, it will be difficult for Hamilton to make up the deficit to the ultra-consistent Rosberg in the championship tussle. The frustrated Hamilton was upset in the circumstances, and he hinted at perhaps more than that.My question is to Mercedes, Hamilton said. We have so many engines made for drivers, but mine are the only ones failing this year. Someone needs to give me some answers because this is not acceptable. We are fighting for the championship and only my engines are failing. It does not sit right with me.Someone doesnt want me to win this year, but I wont give up. I will keep pushing.Red Bull and Ricciardo took a lucky victory, given the circumstances that afflicted the Mercedes pair, but were in the right place to capitalize and make up for the win the Australian driver felt he was deprived of in Monaco when a team pit-stop misunderstanding cost him victory.Told you Id win one. Sometimes you just need things to swing your way, said Ricciardo, whose tears during the Australian anthem played after the race mixed freely with the copious sweat generated in the tropical conditions, which generated track temperatures consistently topping 50 degrees (122 F).Its been an interesting, I would say, two years since my last victory and it feels awesome for sure. I am so grateful for it, he said.Ricciardo delighted many fans, and disgusted quite a few others, by celebrating victory with his newly adopted tradition of pouring the celebratory champagne into his sweaty race shoe and then drinking it -- something he calls the `Shoey. Not only that, he also convinced team principal Christian Horner, plus Verstappen and Rosberg, to also drink from the unconventional vessel.Asked to comment on the flavor, Ricciardo said it had a fruity taste, but Rosberg deadpanned: I hope he does not win any more races this year.Rosberg held onto third place despite incurring a 10-second penalty for an aggressive passing move on Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen on lap 38. Raikkonen placed fourth, extending Ferraris winless streak this season.Williams driver Valtteri Bottas made a one-pit stop strategy work to take fifth place, as did Renaults Jolyon Palmer who finished tenth for his first ever points finish in F1.Force Indias Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg took sixth and eighth places respectively, separated by McLarens Fernando Alonso, who did well to finish seventh after starting the race from last on the grid. Alonsos teammate Jenson Button was ninth in his 300th grand prix start.The next race is in Japan next weekend, with Rosberg eager to press home the advantage over Hamilton in his quest for his first championship.I thought the race was all over (after the first-corner crash) so I am really happy to fight back all the way to the podium, Rosberg said. It is a good moment in general, and I look forward to the next one. CM Punk Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Brandon Saad Team North America Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year.

PHILADELPHIA -- Julio Teheran made his major league debut at Citizens Bank Park in 2011. He likes coming to Philadelphia, and it shows.Teheran pitched six sharp innings, Matt Kemp homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the Phillies 2-0 on Sunday for their sixth consecutive win.Teheran (5-9) allowed five hits and struck out seven while lowering his ERA to 3.01. The right-hander improved to 5-1 with a 1.55 ERA in six career starts in Philly.Everything is coming together, Teheran said. I feel really good. The last two innings I really battled, but I made pitches.Teheran cruised through the first four innings, and then wriggled out of bases-loaded jams in the fifth and sixth. Maikel Franco grounded out for the final out of the fifth and Peter Bourjos lined to right on Teherans final pitch.He was really good, Braves manager Brian Snitker said. That last inning he battled his butt off. Hes healthy now and his velocity is back up. Hes back where he needs to be.Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 15th save, finishing a five-hitter.Kemp, who was acquired in a July 30 trade with San Diego, hit a leadoff drive in the second for his 28th homer. Freddie Freeman added another leadoff drive in the eighth for his 29th of the year.We got off to a really bad start this season, but Brian made us keep a low profile and everything is now going well, Freeman said. Matt has been a big contributor, too. He got us going today.Philadelphia dropped its sixth consecutive game, wasting another solid start by Jake Thompson (1-5). The rookie right-hander allowed four hits, struck out six and walked four in seven innings.This was a miserable homestand and theres not much good to talk about, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. However, it was very good to see Thompson pitch the way he did. It was great to see.Chris Withrow and Ian Krol each pitched a hitless inning before Johnson struck out the side, hhelping the Braves match their longest winning streak of the season. Jeremy Roenick Jersey. Like Teheran, Thompson got into a couple of jams but also pitched out of them, getting Nick Markakis to ground into a double play to escape a bases-loaded situation in the sixth and retiring Adonis Garcia on a grounder to third with the bases loaded in the seventh.The loss for the Phillies marked only the fourth time in franchise history that they dropped every game of a homestand of six games or longer. They also did it earlier this season. The other two times were in 1883 and 1964.SURGINGAtlanta center fielder Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a single in the sixth inning. ... Freeman extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a double in the fourth inning. He has reached safely in 27 straight for the longest active streak in the majors. The double was the 200th of his career.PUNCHLESS PHILLIESThe Phillies were shut out for the eighth time this season. They have scored the fewest runs in the majors this season (500) and only scored 11 runs in the six-game home stand.REINFORCEMENTS COMINGAfter shutting down Vince Velazquez following his start Saturday because he reached his innings limit, Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said Alec Asher likely would be recalled to take his place in the rotation. Klentak said he expected about a half-dozen more players to be recalled once the minor league playoff season ends.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Ryan Weber (1-0, 5.24 ERA) opposes Nationals RHP Max Scherzer (15-7, 2.89 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series in Washington on Monday afternoon.Phillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (9-13, 3.90 ERA) faces Marlins RHP Jake Esch (0-0, 4.15 ERA) in the first game of a three-game series in Miami on Monday afternoon. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
