SEPANG, Malaysia -- Lewis Hamilton took pole position by 0.414s at the Malaysian Grand Prix, putting an end to any doubts over his form following his brief dip in Singapore.Hamilton was faster than teammate Nico Rosberg in all three sectors, but made up the most time in the final corner where Rosberg lost the rear of his car under braking and sailed well wide of the apex. The result puts Hamilton in a strong position to close the gap to Rosberg in the drivers championship on Sunday and puts Mercedes even closer to its third consecutive constructors title.Max Verstappen took third on the grid, 0.570s off Hamilton and just 0.156s off Rosberg. Up until the final run, Rosberg had been behind both Red Bulls and Kimi Raikkonen after running wide at Turn 6 on his first attempt. However, Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo couldnt quite match Rosberg on the second run and instead locked out the second row with just 0.047s separating them.Sebastian Vettel took fifth ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who made a mistake in the middle sector of his second attempt in Q3 and abandoned the lap. The two Ferraris finished 0.6s clear of the two Force Indias of Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg in seventh and eight, with Jenson Button claiming ninth for McLaren. Felipe Massa made a mistake on his firanl run and will start the race from tenth.Valtteri Bottas was 0.039s off a place in Q3 after a lock up in the final corner of his quick lap saw him lose out as Button improved and moved into the top ten. Romain Grosjean, who has been struggling with his car all weekend, was a further 0.424s down on Bottas, but took 12th ahead of Haas teammate Esteban Gutierrez. Kevin Magnussen finished 14th, which is something of an achievement for Renault as he edged out Toro Rosso drivers Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz.Marcus Ericsson missed out on a place in Q2 by just 0.121s, but took some consolation from beating Sauber teammate Felipe Nasr to 17th. Jolyon Palmer was also knocked out in Q1 after locking a brake at the final corner of his flying lap. He will start ahead of Esteban Ocon, who beat Manor teammate Pascal Wehrlein for the first time in qualifying, although Wehrlein had a warning light on his cockpit. Fernando Alonso will start at the back of the grid due to his 45-place penalty for engine component changes, and as a result did not bother to set a quick lap in Q1.

Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. For a good part of the first quarter of last season, it seemed as though the future of the Philadelphia Flyers was still somewhere off in the distance. A rebuild with an emphasis on the build part under rookie head coach Dave Hakstol seemed to be about as good as it was going to get for Flyers fans.But a funny thing happened to all of those dire predictions of being a lottery team: The Flyers scratched and clawed their way into a most unlikely of playoff berths and then managed somehow to stretch the powerful Washington Capitals to six games in the first round.Theres already healthy skepticism that last season was a blip on the rebuilding radar and the Flyers will be back outside the playoff bubble. But Im not so sure, especially watching rookie of the year nominee Shayne Gostisbehere playing so well at the World Cup of Hockey and veteran Mark Streit helping Team Europe to an unexpected berth in the tournament finals.Certainly GM Ron Hextall isnt letting the players feel its a given theyll get back to where they were last season. Essentially were starting fresh here, Hextall said in a recent interview.Best new facesA tinkering summer for Hextall brought in a couple of veterans to help augment the youth movement that is fully in place in Philadelphia. Veteran center and defensive specialist Boyd Gordon will be looking for fourth-line minutes, while Dale Weise will be expected to be a kind of everyman, even bringing unexpected offensive upside. Ivan Provorov is another young defenseman with a big top-end skill set. The left-handed seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft is just 19, and at one point during training camp was paired with Gostisbehere. A glimpse of the future or is the future here?Biggest unknownsCan the Flyers continue their upward arc in terms of evolution while weve seen so many teams (the Dallas Stars, Winnipeg Jets and Columbus Blue Jackets come to mind) take one step forward and then regress for a season or two? Specifically, can they find enough offense to help take the pressure off the defense and goaltending? Last season, the Flyers were 22nd in scoring. Only one team with a worse offense made the playyoffs (Detroit Red Wings).dddddddddddd The penalty kill, tied for 20th, needs to improve.Can the unlikely goaltending tandem of Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth continue to provide the high level of netminding we saw down the stretch and into the playoffs? And who is the No. 1? Neuvirth had an eye-popping .981 save percentage in three starts in the playoffs against the Capitals. Hextall has said hes looking for more from younger players Scott Laughton -- who is expected to miss three to four weeks with a lower-body injury -- Jordan Weal and Nick Cousins, who all have strong pedigrees but need to prove they are NHL-ready. And NHLers in the fold need to give more, such as Jakub Voracek, who struggled for much of last season after signing a monster contract extension last summer.Sure thingsNot sure how Dave Hakstol didnt end up on the ballot for coach of the year, but thats a moot point. What isnt moot is that Hakstol, who came to the NHL after a long, successful stint with the University of North Dakota, should be even better in his sophomore season in terms of how to schedule practices and his familiarity with his own group and with the opposition. He showed he was a quick study a season ago and his skill set behind the bench should be even more evident this season.Up front, you have to figure captain Claude Giroux is motivated after making Team Canadas World Cup of Hockey roster and then not playing. He rebounded after being left off the 2014 Olympic roster with a place on the Hart Trophy ballot a few months later, so expect a similar response this time around.Is there anyone steadier -- and maybe more underappreciated -- than Wayne Simmonds? Hes coming off a career-best 32-goal campaign and has become one of the on-ice leaders, having averaged a hair less than 30 goals a season over the past three.PredictionThe bottom of the Metropolitan Division is a dogs breakfast. But Im liking what is going on with the Flyers, even if they finish just outside the playoff picture. Fifth in the Metropolitan. ' ' '
