MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Speaking during his Thursday media briefing at the Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton discussed a variety of topics from his poor start at the Italian Grand Prix to playing with tigers in Mexico. Joe Kocur Rangers Jersey .Hamiltons slow getaway at Monza effectively handed victory to teammate Nico Rosberg and closed the gap at the top of the championship standings to just two points. New start regulations this year mean the drivers have to operate the clutch with a single paddle on the steering wheel (as opposed to the two paddle system in previous years) and are not allowed to receive feedback from engineers about how to prepare the car.Hamilton has started from pole position at seven races this season but of those seven has only twice retained the lead into the first corner (once in Austria and once at the British Grand Prix when it was a rolling start). Talking about the problems on Thursday, he admitted it could impact his championship chances.Its pretty hard to start the races -- it has been the same for years -- but its just more difficult now in terms of getting a consistent getaway, he said. Youre not allowed to have certain feedback you were allowed before -- in terms of clutch temperatures -- so you dont have that. Sometimes you arrive and it gives you not enough torque, sometimes it gives you too much torque and youre none the wiser -- you dont know if its going to give you more or less.I dont specifically like it or dislike it, it is what it is. But would I prefer my clutch not to have those inconsistencies? For sure I would, but thats not going to change anytime soon. If you gauge my season, then the championship may be lost through bad starts, so I lost a lot of races I started from pole position right at the start. You do the work all through the weekend and then those two seconds have determined some of the races.Despite Rosberg scoring victories at the last two races, Hamilton is confident he still has the raw pace to win the title.I still have a positive mind, he said. I was 43 points behind at one stage, so I feel pretty good still and we are still leading the championship despite all the engine penalties Ive had and not the greatest start in the last race. But the speed is there and Im still in the lead, so I feel pretty good still.Playing with tigersIn the break between races, Hamilton posted a video of him playing with a tiger at a sanctuary in Mexico. The video caused a stir on social media, but Hamilton said it looked more dangerous than it was.I generally like danger, I dont run away from danger -- I face it head on. Of course I dont want to get in a cage to get eaten, but Ive known Nicole [the tiger] since she was a baby, she recognises me and she loves to play.Shes never known her Mum, shes never lived in the wild, so she has lived all her life in that home, with a team that gives her love and affection. She would be affective to any of you guys. The video was not from last week, its an old video that I just posted now. Jimmy Vesey Rangers Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Antti Raanta Rangers Jersey . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. http:///...-rangers-jersey-c-7/ . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. The Winnipeg Jets announced Bryan Little will be out indefinitely after suffering an undisclosed lower-body injury in Thursdays home opener against the Carolina Hurricanes.Little left after colliding with Hurricanes Bryan Bickell in the first period. Little skated off the ice under his own power but did not return.Well have a better idea of just how long in a couple weeks, head coach Paul Maurice said.Little is coming off a fractured vertebrae injury suffered in February against Tampa Bay thatt prematurely ended his 2015-16 season. Ron Duguay Rangers Jersey. He was second on the team in scoring at the time of that injury.?Maurice said the Jets will have to adjust their lines to compensate the absence of the teams most experienced center, our strongest right-handed draw man.Power play, penalty kill, there isnt a piece of our game that we wont miss him in, Maurice said.?
