Lewis Hamiltons hopes of ending Nico Rosbergs winning run at the Chinese GP have suffered a blow after it was revealed he will take a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. The world champion, the polesitter at 2016s opening two rounds, will start no higher than sixth for Sundays race after Mercedes opted to change the gearbox in his car after it sustained damage in Bahrain. Hamilton confirmed the contact with Valtteri Bottas at turn one two weeks ago was not the cause.F1 gearboxes have to last for six consecutive race weekends. It has been a good track to me for many years so I feel good coming here, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.Naturally when you arrive in Shanghai and find out youre already going to be starting five places behind wherever I qualify is a kick in the goonies, but you just take it. Challenge is another opportunity to arise, rather than looking at the glass half empty, look at it half full. When is the Chinese GP on Sky?

They change it and I go again. I dont use it as a concern, Im sure the team are focussed on it, he said.Asked what caused the damage he responded: It doesnt really matter.Following poor starts from pole in each of the first two races, Hamilton already trails Rosberg by 17 points in the Drivers Championship.

The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder can be in such a hurry to get on base, his bat tends to get ahead of itself. A well-timed piece of advice helped him break out of a slump on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. Told by several teammates to wait a beat longer before swinging, Marte slapped a career-high four hits and scored four times as the Pirates pulled away for a 12-8 victory. "I think you know it goes back to pitch selection, seeing the ball up, trying to maintain discipline throughout the at-bat," manager Clint Hurdle said. Something Marte lacked at times during a recent swoon following his scorching start. Marte began the night in the midst of an 11 for 60 (.183) slump before pecking away at San Franciscos Barry Zito (4-5). The 24-year-old leadoff man hardly seemed bothered by a run-in with San Francisco reliever George Kontos on Tuesday night, when Kontos threw behind Marte at one point in apparent retaliation for Pittsburghs Tony Watson hitting Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro. "Whatever happened yesterday was yesterday," said Marte, who added two stolen bases to push his season total to 20. "I didnt think about it. Everybody wants to do their job. The pitchers have to do their job. Thats how I got focused today." Marte, Mercer and McCutchen combined to go 8 for 9 against Zito as the Pirates won for the fourth time in their past five games. Neil Walker and Alex Presley both homered for Pittsburgh, which set season highs for runs and hits (18). "It was a very good night for our offence to show up on a night it was challenging for everybody off the mound," Hurdle said. Francisco Liriano (5-2) survived six erratic innings to pick up the win. Joaquin Arias knocked in three runs for the Giants and Hunter Pence doubled twice but San Francisco continued to struggle on the road. The defending World Series champions have lost 12 of 16 away from home. Zito (4-5) allowed eight runs and 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings as his road ERA ballooned to 11.28. He is 4-1 with a 1.94 ERA at AT&T Park. "At home, Ive caught some breaks and kept stuff done in the zone and I havent on the road," Zito said. "Ive felt pretty good in some of these starts out on the road, but I just havent been able to get people out." A night after Pittsburgh lit up San Francisco in an 8-2 win in support of rookie pitcher Gerrit Cole, the Pirates kept it going. McCutchen hit a two-run double in the third as the Pirates ttook a 4-1 lead.dddddddddddd The Giants responded to briefly tie the game on a two-run double by Arias in the top of the fifth. It didnt stay knotted long. Marte and Mercer led off the bottom of the inning with consecutive singles. Marte scored on a fielders choice and Pedro Alvarez chased Zito for good with a double off the wall in right. Walker greeted reliever Jose Mijares with a two-run single and the Pirates were in control. "The top of the order was really special tonight, the runs, the hits," Hurdle said. "They just kept fueling us from the first inning through the eighth." Pittsburghs lead grew to 10-4 after Presleys pinch-hit homer and an RBI double by Gaby Sanchez, but the Giants hung in there on a night manager Bruce Bochy watched from the clubhouse. Bochy was suspended one game and reliever George Kontos was suspended three games and fined after Kontos threw at Marte then hit McCutchen in the rear on Tuesday. Kontos was sent down to Triple-A before the suspension was announced. Bench coach Ron Wotus stepped in for Bochy and pointed to the late surge as evidence the Giants are starting to get things going. "They prevailed but we at least kept battling and we had a nice little breakout on offence," Wotus said. San Francisco pulled within 11-8 after Buster Poseys two-run single off Watson in the eighth but Sanchez doubled in McCutchen in the bottom of the inning. Closer Jason Grilli worked a perfect ninth in a rare non-save situation. Liriano lacked the firepower of his past two starts, when he combined for 19 strikeouts. The left-hander struck out just two and walked three while tying his season high with four runs allowed. NOTES: Walkers fifth home run of the season was originally ruled a double but overturned when replay showed the ball struck a seat in the first row of left field stands ...
