MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix has been a personal highlight after his team overcame the issues it faced at the same circuit 12 months ago. Ron Brewer Jersey .Nico Rosberg took pole position by over 0.5s from Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo on Saturday -- a significant turnaround after Mercedes qualified 1.4s off pole last year. Wolff said the team had identified last years Singapore issue at the following race in Japan but did not know for certain if they had solved it until qualifying on Saturday.First of all, you hear often sentences from the drivers or management, saying they are really thankful of the job the team did, Wolff said. I must say, and we have just had the debrief, I am so proud of the job the engineers have done around really finding out about the root causes of last years performance - and the severity of our lack of performance last year opened up new ways of thinking.I remember last year after the race, when we had the situation of crisis, we discussed it and we wanted to find out [the cause] and there was a worry it would maybe drag on into Suzuka and the following races. We kept our heads down and a small designated group looked at the data and then parked the topic and concentrated on Suzuka and this is now the proof today that we have understood where we had the weakness of the car and I think we had quite some learning for the other tracks throughout the 2016 season that we benefitted from Singapore last year. So sometimes those difficult moments give you the possibility of really driving from there on.This is actually my personal highlight today that we have a car that is performing well. Obviously it is only Saturday and we havent started the race, we havent won it yet and tomorrow is going to be a totally different challenge. But having got the car where it is today I must really say the team has done a great job.Wolff was still not willing to go into specifics about the issue, but said it was related to the bumpy nature of the Singapore circuit.The interaction of the aero with the mechanical set-up on a particular circuit like Singapore, a street circuit and riding the kerbs, and a bumpy circuit, gave us a challenge in the way our car has been designed. Our car overall is pretty balanced throughout the season, on all race tracks and we struggled on a twisty road circuit like Singapore.You could have said this is a particular circuit that is not suited to our car and that is how it is, but we tried to find out how we can optimise our car for this particular circuit.

Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. CINCINNATI -- The Milwaukee Brewers will be looking to win a series on the road when they wrap up a three-game weekend set against the Reds on Sunday.Manager Craig Counsells club is 23-22 at home, but just 16-28 away from Miller Park. If the Brewers played better on the road, perhaps this season might be different.On Saturday night, the Brewers club broke out the bats in a 9-1 victory over the Reds. Jimmy Nelson effectively managed a huge early lead allowing six hits over seven shutout innings.On Sunday, Milwaukee is expected to recall right-hander Zach Davies to make his 16th start of the season and second against Cincinnati. In two career starts against the Reds, Davies is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA. But, both of those outings came at Miller Park where he allowed five earned runs in 11 2/3 innings.The Brewers will need to make a roster move prior to Sundays game in order to make room on the roster for Davies.His last start came on July 5 at Washington when he earned a 5-2 victory after giving up only two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. He was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs after that game, however, to make room for first baseman Andy Wilkins.Since struggling in his first three starts, going 0-3 with 13 earned runs allowed in 13 1/3 innings, Davies responded by going 6-1 with a 3.24 ERA in 12 starts with seven quality starts.Milwaukee (39-50) is 8-7 when Davies starts.Reds right-hander Homer Bailey made his fourth rehab appearance for Triple-A Louisville on Friday and will make at least one more before being activated.When that happens, right-hander Dan Straily is among the current starters who could be the odd man out. Either him, or John Lamb who allowed nine earned runs in two-pluus innings on Saturday could be called on to be a left-handed specialist in the bullpen. Jaylen Hoard Jersey. Lamb is among many Reds players feeling the frustration as they fell to 33-58 on Saturday.Any time you dont do well, theres a collective frustration, said Lamb. its frustrating when there are expectations and youre not meeting them. I hope I continue to have the ball every five days and be able to go out there and compete. At some point youve got to produce.On Sunday, Straily will make his 20th appearance and 17th start of the season. It will be his second career appearance against Milwaukee but his first start.Opponents are hitting only .218 against Straily who is tied for the club lead with nine quality starts. This after beginning the season in the bullpen.Straily began spring training with the Houston Astros before being traded to San Diego on March 28 before being claimed off waivers by the Reds whose rotation was decimated by injuries just three days later.Cincinnati hopes to have second baseman Brandon Phillips back on Sunday after he missed Saturdays game with a strained calf muscle suffered on Friday.The Brewers are awaiting word on the condition of right fielder Hernan Perez who left Saturdays game with a left foot contusion after hitting a two-run home run to spark the offensive outburst.X-Rays were planned as a precaution and he will be evaluated further on Sunday, which could be an ideal day to give Perez a breather.He had trouble putting weight on it, said manager Craig Counsell. He was struggling enough to take him out. I think hell be fine. ' ' '
