Lewis Hamilton says he has been left bemused by criticism of his performances - and lifestyle - in 2016. Isaiah Wynn Jersey . After claiming his third pole in five races for Sundays Spanish GP, the Mercedes driver launched a robust defence of his form after suggestions from some quarters of the media that he may have allowed his focus to drop since winning a third world title last year.Nico Rosberg has won all four of this seasons opening races, but Hamiltons title defence has been afflicted by a series of reliability problems and first-corner collisions. Conclusions from Spanish GP qualifyingWhen you look at the season so far I had two poles and two [grand prix] where I didnt have a qualifying session because I had two failures, now another pole, and issues have got in the way [at other times], yet people would say Im not focused, Hamilton said. Lewis Hamilton takes pole position for the Spanish GP, edging team mate Nico Rosberg into second Its just a strange conclusion that a grown up would come to because its clearly not the case. Every time Ive been in the car and had the opportunity Ive performed.The first three races I didnt have a full car [after first-corner contact], so I did the best job with what I had and I think the last race [in Russia] was great considering where I came from [10th]. So its very early days to say those kind of things. My performance, Im very, very happy with it and today is another showing of that. I rest my case.Hamilton declined to comment on wild rumours he could even take a year out from F1 in 2017, simply stating: I generally let my results do the talking. Lewis on pole as Bulls shock Lewis Hamilton on pole in Barcelona The Britons results in the opening stages of the Barcelona weekend had suggested he might struggle to beat Rosberg to one of the most crucial poles of the whole season, before he spectacularly turned the situation around mid-way through qualifying.He topped Q2 by 0.6 seconds and then, despite making an error on his first flying lap in the final stage, beat Rosberg by nearly three tenths of a second to claim his 52nd career pole.Hamilton though reckons a front-row place would have been in jeopardy had mechanics not cured his set-up problems from Friday practice. Lewis Hamilton discusses a difficult 2016 season so far and his F1 future with Sky F1s Martin Brundle When you are doing practice it is about building blocks. Its one step at a time, he explained. P1 you dont want to make too many changes because track temperature is always different when you get to P2. When youre making those changes its like chasing your tail. Then you discover something and the next day its completely different.Youre kind of at a loss - you dont know what foot youre going to be starting on the next day. But I got in the car this morning with a good frame of mind, I know the engineers and mechanics worked hard overnight, and I got in and immediately the car was underneath me, which was a relief.If it hadnt been there is no way Id have been in the position Im in right now. I wouldnt have been on the front row and Id have potentially struggled to be on the second row. So thats a great feeling when you do muddle through the maze and come out the right end.On a track where 19 of the previous 25 races have been won from the front of the grid, Hamilton said pole was the only option to kick-start his attempts to reign in Rosberg.All I know is that its going to be hard work [in the race], he added. Nicos going to be fast. Tyres, strategy, all these different things are going to come into play. Watch the Spanish GP live on Sky Sports F1.

We have a bunch of difficult games coming up and we have to be focused on every single one of them.Calgary (12-2) has two games remaining against Winnipeg (6-9) and one against Saskatchewan (9-6) before the regular-season finale against the B.C. Lions (8-7).The Stampeders swept Edmonton (10-5) in their season series and would thus rank above the Eskimos in the event the two teams finished tied in the standings.Division winners earn the right to host their respective division finals. They also get a weeks rest while their opponents wear themselves out in semifinal playoff games.In 2013, Calgary secured the West final in the second-last week en route to a 14-4 record. But the Stampeders were upset in the division final by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who went on to win the Grey Cup in Regina.Its a reminder that securing the division final is not the same thing as winning it, which is perhaps why the Stampeders were downplaying Saturdays stakes.There is still a lot of football to be played and the Stampeders want to be playing it well heading into the post-season.Weve got to finish, Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. Were not looking forward to any other game. Were not trying to clinch first place.All were thinking about is going out there and playing a good football game against Winnipeg. Last year we were 14-4 and we dont finish.After missing three games with a sprained ankle and injured ligament in his left knee, Mitchell is expected to start for real this time.Head coach John Hufnagel said durring Week 15 that Mitchell was ready to go against the Roughriders only to announce a day later Drew Tate would get the ball. Devin McCourty Jersey. still wish I could have played, Mitchell said. Im glad we got out there and won the game.Being a young guy in this position, and not having a broken leg thats holding you out of the game or a broken bone or tear thats holding you out of the game, its hard to look your teammates in the eyes and tell them youre not playing because you dont feel 100 per cent.Nobody feels 100 per cent. Ive been working hard to get back. Im just glad Im ready to go.The Stampeders are coming off a bye week, so its been over a month since Mitchell was tackled on a four-yard run by Torontos Shea Emery and went down awkwardly on his leg in the fourth quarter. Calgary went 2-1 with Tate as the starter in Mitchells absence.Cornish didnt finish Calgarys 31-24 win over the Roughriders in Regina on Oct. 3 because of a tweaked knee, but the halfback says hes ready for Saturdays game in Winnipeg.I maybe could have played in a game had we not had the bye week, but Im happy we had the bye week all things considered, Cornish said.The CFLs Most Outstanding Player in 2013 and leading rusher the last two seasons is within striking distance of another rushing title despite seven missed games due to injury. With 817 yards, Cornish trails current leader Anthony Allen of Saskatchewan by just 32.Defensive end Charleston Hughes, the CFLs outstanding defensive player in 2013, is nearing a return to action. Hughes will participate in his first full practice Wednesday since injuring his foot Sept. 13 versus the Argonauts.Hufnagel couldnt say Tuesday whether the sack specialist will play in Winnipeg.Its tough having to sit around, man, because all you do is sit around and watch your teammates make plays, Hughes said. I mean, you can only eat so much food and work out, right?Defensive lineman Corey Mace is expected back in the lineup Saturday. The Vancouver native has been out since Week 11 with an ankle injury and turf toe. Wide receiver Jeff Fullers knee injury suffered in Regina is said to be season-ending.
