Lewis Hamilton questioned his Mercedes team after he was forced to retire from the lead of Sundays Malaysian Grand Prix with an engine failure, saying something doesnt seem right with all his reliability troubles this season.Hamilton looked to be cruising to his first win since July when flames exploded from the rear of his car, forcing him to pull over and retire 16 laps from the end. The world champion suffered a spate of power unit failures at the start of the year and served a hefty grid penalty in Belgium as Mercedes stockpiled three fresh engines in an attempt to insure against failures such as Sundays.However, one of those new engines failed dramatically in Sepang, leaving him a massive 23 points behind Rosberg in the championship.When asked where he goes from here, a dejected Hamilton said: Ive just to move on. The guys did a fantastic job this weekend, we did everything we could. I did everything I could. I just cant believe that theres eight Mercedes cars and only my engines that have been going this year. Something just doesnt feel right. Theres nothing I can do about it.When asked what he meant by his final comment, he just repeated: Something just doesnt feel right.Speaking to the BBC, Hamilton said: My questions are to Mercedes -- we have lost so many engines .... Someone has to give me some answers and it is not acceptable. Something or someone doesnt want me to win this year.Hamiltons engine failure handed a one-two finish to Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, but cost Mercedes the chance to wrap up the constructors championship. Hamilton had been building a big gap to the Red Bull pair before his retirement but insisted he was not pushing the limits of the engine.No, its a brand new engine. Ive done one race with it. I did P3 with it and qualifying, its a brand new engine out of the new three that I had.It is what it is and well just move forwards and try to continue to drive as we have this weekend but its just odd. Theres been 43 engines from Mercedes and only mine have gone.

The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. http://www.swelllahevcz.com/ . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. CHASKA, Minn. -- To all the hecklers who shouted at him for 33 holes Saturday at the Ryder Cup, Rory McIlroy has just one thing to say.Bring it on.The more they shouted, the better we played, McIlroy said. I hope they shout at us all day tomorrow.The 50,000 or so fans who jammed into Hazeltine National Golf Club sure did so Saturday, heckling McIlroy at every opportunity as he and playing partner Thomas Pieters came up big again for the European team. They won both their matches, and they did it with some flair before huge crowds that cheered them only when they made mistakes.If the noise is really welcome, though, the European team will need all it can get on Sunday when it faces a daunting task of coming back from a three-point deficit to keep the cup they have won the last three times out.Obviously the heckling is there, but as Rory says it just pumps us up, Pieters said.A day that began with much promise for the European team ended on a down note after Lee Westwood missed a short putt on the 18th hole that would have given he and Danny Willett a half point in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore. That left the European team down 9 1/2-6 1/2, needing a comeback in singles play along the lines of the 2012 team outside Chicago to retain the cup on Sunday.The deficit was no fault of McIlroy and Pieters, their top pairing on both of the days sessions.McIlroy, who bowed twice to the crowd Friday when he and Pieters closed out their match with an eagle putt on No. 16, teamed with Pieters to take down Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler in the morning and Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in the afternoon.They did it while making some noise of their own, with McIlroy roaring loudly and pumping his fist every time he or Pieters made a clutch birdie.I feel like I need to take a couple Advil, McIlroy said. I have a sore head listening to all those the last day, day and a half. I feel like Ive been able to focus pretty well and Ive played some of my best golf and the last three matches weve played, its been three points on the board. Id give myself a pretty high mark for that.For the most part the fans were good spirited in their heckkling, yelling out Ro-ry! Ro-ry in a mocking way and telling him after he made a bogey on No.dddddddddddd 16 that Six is good!One got a little carried away by taunting McIlroy with a sexual reference while he was walking off the seventh green, causing McIlroy to seek out a marshal to try and have him removed.These things happen, McIlroy said. Its golf at the end of the day. You try to keep the utmost respect for who youre playing and for who youre supporting. You know, that particular guy, this is obviously in the very, very small minority, just took it a bit too far.Other Europeans werent as happy with the crowd, with Sergio Garcia saying 15 percent of the fans were saying things they shouldnt and that his American girlfriend was embarrassed. Captain Darren Clarke also said a few went overboard, though it was pretty much expected.Its just The Ryder Cup and people are exuberant and enjoying themselves, Clarke said. Its just part of the whole Ryder Cup thing. Im sure that everybody will do their best to deal with it and people just seemed to enjoy themselves a little bit too much at times.McIlroy and Pieters, though, seemed to thrive on the noise, making six birdies in 16 holes in alternate shot in the morning to beat Fowler and Mickelson. They made nine birdies and an eagle in better ball, including a putt by Pieters on the 17th hole that thwarted a comeback by Johnson and Koepka.Pieters, a Ryder Cup rookie, and McIlroy won all three of their points over two days, and McIlroy suggested a new Ryder Cup pairing had emerged for the matches two years from now in Paris.I think youll see this pairing in Paris, he said.While McIlroy and Pieters were in top form, only one other European pairing won a full point in Saturdays matches. Justin Rose and Chris Wood beat Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson in the morning, but Woods was not in the afternoon lineup and Rose and Henrik Stenson lost their match to Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.Europe will need to win 7 1/2 of the 12 points available in singles to retain the cup.
