SEPANG, Malaysia -- Lewis Hamilton believes a higher power is intervening in his pursuit to become a four-time world champion.The Mercedes driver suffered his third major engine failure of the season at the Malaysian Grand Prix, albeit just the first to result in a DNF. If the positions had remained the same as they were before Hamiltons failure he was set to take five-point lead in the drivers standings, but instead left Sepang with a 23-point deficit to teammate Nico Rosberg.It feels right now that the man above, or a higher power is intervening a little bit, he said. But I feel like Ive been blessed with so many big opportunities, firstly being here with all these people around here, the opportunity in this great team winning the last two championships. Lots and lots of big trophies and records that Im breaking time and time again, so I have to be grateful for those. While this does not feel great, I feel grateful.Immediately after the race Hamilton said his poor run of reliability this season doesnt feel right, adding someone has to give me some answers. But speaking after meeting with his team, Hamilton had changed his tune, saying he had 100 percent faith in Mercedes.Honestly, youve got to understand from my point. On one side weve had the most incredible success over these last two years of which I am so grateful. These guys work so hard, we are all feeling the pain right now.When you get out of the car after the feeling you have after leading the race and the car fails, its pretty hard to say positive things but honestly I feel, as I said in the interviews, Mercedes have built 43 engines with the extra three that I have had and I happen to have had most of, if not all the failures, so that is definitely a tough thing.But I have 100 percent confidence in these guys, Ive been with them now into my fourth year with the guys in the garage, the guys back at the factory. I have one hundred per cent faith in them.Dewan Hernandez Raptors Jersey .

He made all three shots in the first half and finished 5 of 6.He was fantastic, Kings coach Dave Joerger said.

He had 15 points on six shots, thats pretty efficient.It was the second straight victory for the Kings (4-5), who were 1-7 in their first eight games last season.

It depends on the situation regarding how much I shoot.Despite 14 points from Davis, the Pelicans could not cut into the Kings lead and still trailed 76-70 entering the fourth.Im not use to this at all. But its a long season, Hield said. We just have to stay confident. Were 0-8 right now, but were going to find a way and we are going to break through this. We have a lot of games left. All we need is a win to build our confidence up.Collison, who entered the game late in the opening quarter, had nine points in his first game this season. He missed the first eight games, serving a suspension for a domestic violence incident in the summer.After an unproductive first half, Collison picked up his offense in the third quarter when he scored seven points and helped the Kings maintain their lead. He finished with four assists and two steals in 27 minutes.I think the best part of the day was earlier this morning, Collison said.
