SINGAPORE -- Having seen his title rival win three straight races in four weeks, Lewis Hamilton could be forgiven for fearing the worst about the destiny of the 2016 Formula One title, but the Briton still believes he can reverse the current championship tide.Hamilton had a frustrating weekend in Singapore and was off the pace of his rival and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in all three practice sessions, qualifying and the race. That was compounded by a hydraulic failure in practice that cost him a lot of long-run practice.Given that, a third place finish and an eight-point championship deficit to Rosberg represented an acceptable level of damage limitation.A very trying weekend, these ones come along sometimes and you just have to take it on the chin sometimes, a philosophical Hamilton said post-race.Hamilton has overcome championship adversity already this year. When Rosberg won the opening four races of the season, the points gap was 43, but seven races later, the Briton had pulled ahead. Now he has to do it again.Its not as tough as you think, I dont know why, Hamilton said. Weve come from 43 points down, so theoretically, eight points isnt anywhere near as steep as that.With everything thats gone on this year, Im still in the fight, theres still a long way to go and Im going to give it everything Ive got.Hamilton suffered through the first two-thirds of the race with overheating brakes on the punishing stop-start circuit.I just had to slow down and watch the other guys pull away, Hamilton said. Once I did my (last) stop, all of a sudden my brakes were under control. Tim McCarver . 1 position.

Michigan and Ohio State fans have been waiting all season for this showdown, as the Wolverines take on the Buckeyes in Columbus on Saturday. Chalk is here to provide the best bets on the game from its panel of college football experts: Phil Steele, Chris Fallica and Stanford Steve Coughlin.Michigan Wolverines?at Ohio State Buckeyes (-6.5)Over/under: 45.5PickCenter: 57 percent picking Ohio StateChris Fallica: Both of these teams have shown signs of trouble recently, but I think Michigans offensive woes are more concerning, and it doesnnt really matter if it is?Wilton Speight or John OKorn at quarterback.dddddddddddd Speight was 11-for-26 for 103 yards and an interception at Iowa, and OKorn was 7-for-16 for 59 yards against Indiana. In that span, Michigan ran for 3.8 yards per carry, and more than a quarter of its carries went for zero or minus yardage. Thats not a good recipe on the road against one of the best defenses in the country. ' ' '
