Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg continued the tests of the Halo cockpit safety device during first practice for the Singapore Grand Prix.The Halo device has been scrapped for 2017 but remains on the table for introduction the following season. The FIA is keen for every driver on the grid to experience the Halo on an actual lap, with numerous tests taking place in Belgium and Italy.In Belgium, Nico Rosberg topped opening practice with the Halo on his car. In Singapore his Mercedes teammate Hamilton went out early on and set a 1:47.369 with the Halo bolted on to his Silver Arrows, enough to lead the session after half an hour. McLarens Alonso also got his first track time with the device, while Hulkenberg followed up on his Spa-Francorchamps test with some installation laps of his own.Though Hamilton was a vocal critic of Halo when it was first introduced during winter testing, he has mellowed his opposition in recent months. The reigning world champion changed his mind on the device after seeing an FIA presentation on the safety benefits of the device.?Unlike qualifying and the race, the opening portion of FP1 takes place under daylight, meaning the drivers will still not know how the Halo would feel under the floodlights.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Two teams looking to change their identities meet Sunday night when the Anaheim Ducks and the Calgary Flames face each other at the Honda Center.The Ducks seek consistency after 10 days that resembled a ferociously jagged line on a Richter scale. Anaheim began that stretch with a 6-1 thrashing of the Nashville Predators, only to follow with a 4-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Ducks responded by defeating the Los Angeles Kings 4-0, then got routed by the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1.Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle hopes his teams most recent result, Friday nights 5-1 victory against the Arizona Coyotes, will be the beginning of the end of the Ducks uneven performance.Hopefully, its a start we can build on, Carlyle said afterward. Tonight was a statement that we have to approach the game a little differently, maybe, than we had for the first five or six games. Our defense was much more effective moving the puck. We didnt really tax our goaltender. We were disciplined. We didnt take a bunch of stupid penalties.They also relied on forward Rickard Rakell, the Ducks most consistent player lately. Since returning to the lineup Tuesday night against the Kings, Rakell accumulated three goals and six points in three games. Two goals and an assist came Friday night, three weeks after Rakell ended his status as a restricted free agent by signing a six-year contract worth $22.8 million.Hes a gifted kid, and were very fortunate to have him, Carlyle said. It looks like the game is slow for him. Thats whats amazing for those young players who have that skill set. The puck follows them around, and they can do things that other people dont want to try.Whether left winger Nick Ritchie and center Ryan Getzlaf, the Ducks captain and leader in assists, are able to contribute remains an open question.dddddddddddd Both missed the past two games after sustaining upper-body injuries in the victory over Los Angeles. Kings defenseman Tom Gilbert received a three-game suspension for hitting Ritchie into the glass. Both Ducks participated in Saturdays practice, though.The Flames, meanwhile, search for a new personality under first-year coach Glen Gulutzan, who wants to add discipline and skill to a squad known for workmanlike grit.Id like to establish a really solid, structured game, Gulutzan told the Calgary Herald while referring to comments Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane made about the Flames schizoid tendencies.Theyre hard to predict, Kane told the Herald. Whether its going to be a tight checking match-up or it could get out of hand and there could be a lot of scoring, theyre always fun games to play in, especially when you dont know what to expect.For Gulutzan, those are fighting words.We used that quote because we need to find and establish what youre going to get from the Calgary Flames every night, Gulutzan told the Calgary Sun. When you look at the teams that have had success year after year over the last 10 years, you always knew what you were going to get. Thats the stepping stone wed like to get to.Calgarys 5-0 loss to the Kings on Saturday night reinforced Gulutzans point.Youre going to get a team that rolls and knows its identity, Gulutzan told the Sun. Theyve got all the pieces, right?The Flames face Anaheim without right winger Kris Versteeg, who went on injured reserve with a strained groin Saturday. Calgary recalled left winger Hunter Shinkaruk from Stockton of the AHL. ' ' '
