Renault boss Frederic Vasseur says much of the progress the team has made this year has not been visible externally but will play a big role in 2017.Renault has endured a tough season since returning to the grid as a manufacturer, which it did following a protracted buyout of Lotus. The team has scored points at just one race, the Russian Grand Prix, and posted the slowest qualifying times in Italy last time out.However, with the teams focus already shifted to the big 2017 rule changes, Vasseur thinks Renault has made big steps forward on an operational level.?We are all very much focused on 2017 and yet we must continue to strive for the best results possible in the upcoming races, Vasseur said. It is tough for the team of course but we can clearly see progression in areas that are not always visible externally.This is all part of the building of this team. We must concentrate on this and work on areas that can make a difference in the longer term: for example tyre management, how we manage our race weekends and improving the cars regular performance.Any good work and improvements made on track are useful for 2017 and beyond. We must keep this motivation -- we have a great team of mechanics and engineers and we are doing positive work in areas such as pitstops -- we did the fastest pitstop in Monza with 2.1s! For me this is proof of the hard work done by all in the team, their commitment and resilience in tough times.Vasseur says the Renaults struggles in Belgium and Italy were good for the teams resilience.The last two races have been challenging and characterbuilding for the team in terms of results. Our global performance was good in Spa and we achieved our best qualifying results of the season so far, but unfortunately in the race we had Kevins accident and we couldnt convert our qualifying pace into a deserved good result in the end. We expected Monza to be a tricky weekend and we are now fully concentrated on Singapore and beyond. Max Scharping Jersey .

LOUIS -- St. WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards would be wise not suggesting Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is a one-trick big man. If there a need for any pregame chatter, they can focus on their own winning and varied formula.The Wizards (11-14) are playing their best basketball of the season and coming off their best offensive performance of the season. John Wall scored 29 points and Bradley Beal had 25 as Washington dominated the Detroit Pistons 122-108 on Friday night for their second straight win and fourth in five games. Shooting 57.1 percent from the field and hitting 12 of 25 on 3-pointers against the second-best scoring defense in the league was the latest example of the early-season underachievers coming together.I think were getting into a nice little rhythm that were understanding what we want to do as a basketball team on both ends, Wizards coach Scott Brooks said. Were still not where we need to be but I see some progress, I see some belief in each other and thats what its about. Theres a lot of good players and good teams in this league, the common denominator is they play together and for each other. We still are trying to build that chemistry and comradery as a group. I think its starting to pay off.Beal and Wall combined for 15 assists and one turnover. The offensive flow over this recent stretch stems from a renewed focus guarding their opponents.Itts been good, we just figured it out, Beal said.dddddddddddd To me it has just been on the defensive end. Weve been taking care of guarding guys, and pressuring guys when we need to, and getting stops, and its just making it easier for offense. Weve always believed in our offense, we score over 100-points a game, we trust our system, but when we get stops and defend were a really good team.The Clippers (20-7) are one of the NBAs best teams and Fridays 102-98 victory at the Miami Heat was the latest example. Blake Griffin scored 20 points and Chris Paul had 17, but it was Jordans stat-stuffing work that stole the show.The big man had 12 points, 19 rebounds and three blocks in Los Angeles fourth straight win which Jordan sealed with a putback in the final seconds.This came after Miami center Hassan Whiteside described Jordan as a one who just catches lobs.I just wanted to come out here and get a win, a smiling Jordan told the Los Angeles Times after the victory.Asked if team was trying to feed Jordan in his matchup with Whiteside, Paul said: Cmon, man. Big fella (Jordan) is first team All-NBA, first team All-Defense. He aint got to say nothing.The Clippers rank eighth in scoring defense at 101 points per game, well ahead of the Wizards (106.3).
