SUZUKA, Japan -- Nico Rosberg expects teammate Lewis Hamilton to come back significantly stronger following his recent engine failure at the Malaysian Grand Prix.Hamilton retired from the lead of last Sundays race, giving Rosberg the chance to extend his lead in the championship to 23 points. The defending champion was clearly struggling with his emotions after the engine failure as he appeared to pray by the side of his car and later said a higher power did not want him to win.But rather than being weakened by the incident, Rosberg expects his teammate to be even stronger this weekend in Japan.I dont draw encouragement from that, no, he said. I know that when Lewis has difficulties like that he will come back fully motivated. So its not very encouraging to know he is going to come back as strong as ever.Hamilton has been affected by more engine issues than Rosberg this season, but the German is not concerned that Mercedes reliability could ultimately decide the championship.Im not worried because I have learned to put my energy into something I can influence, and thats something I can definitely influence, he added. I also have all the trust in the team that they do all they can to make sure they dont happen again. They have come with certain changes for this weekend here, but am I worried it will decide the championship? No, thats all very far away first of all and secondly ... no. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Mark-Barron-Jersey/ . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday.
