Guenther Steiner says the starts were aligned for Haas after both Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez made it into Q3 during qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix.The American outfit made it through to the final part of qualifying with both cars for the first time, having only made two previous Q3 appearances so far in its debut season at Melbourne and Monza. Grosjean will line up eighth for Sundays race, while Gutierrez rounded out the top 10. Steiner admitted the result was a pleasant surprise.Our dreams came true, the Haas team principal said. It was a good session, we are very happy with it obviously, I couldnt say any different. FP3 we knew that if we could get the lap together we would be pretty good, but we didnt think we would get two cars into Q3, that was a too ambitious thought you know. But it all happened.We used the new front wing that we brought to Singapore, we used it the first time here what I call properly, with testing, because we had all these issues and if you start the weekend on FP1 and they have mechanical issues, you dont have time to evaluate the data.It was the first time we could use it and understand it and I think that is one of the main things. Im sure our car for this type of track, is also better suited than other tracks, on slower ones. Everything came together, the stars were aligned.After recording points finishes in three of the first four races of 2016, Haas has only managed points on one occasion since, at the Austrian Grand Prix in July. The team has struggled in recent races, most notably in Singapore -- where Romain Grosjean was particularly critical over team radio -- and with a double retirement in Malaysia.Steiner says Haas performance in Suzuka can act as encouragement after a difficult run, and hopes the team can capitalise on the opportunity to take a big points haul away from Japan.You are always chasing yourself, if you have testing sessions you test it out then but its also a thing of growing a team. If you had one problem like we had, or a few problems like in Singapore and Malaysia and in FP1 and FP2, you have no time to do this you are just happy to have a decent understanding of the tyres and of your base setup.Its a learning curve but I think we have a better understanding now. Do we have full understanding? Maybe not but you always learn. I hope we can take the opportunity, its there. Ill tell you tomorrow night at this time if we took it or not. We are in a good position so lets see what comes tomorrow. Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh.

Jerseys NFL Wholesale . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style.VANCOUVER -- Years from now Gleb Suvurov can tell his grandchildren about the night he beat Olympic champion Ryan Lochte. The 20-year-old Calgary resident outraced the five-time Olympic goal medallist in the 50-metre backstroke Saturday at the Mel Zajac Jr. International Canada Cup. Suvurov will be the first to say the 50 back isnt one of Lochtes favourites. And the 28-year-old from Daytona Beach, Fla., is using the meet, being held at the University of British Columbia Aquatic Centre, as training for the U.S. World Championship trials. Still, a win is a win. "It felt good," said Suvurov, who will represent Canada at next months World Student Games in Kazan, Russia. "Its not my best time but Im happy. "Lochte really wasnt tapered." Suvurov, who moved to Canada from Russia with his parents six years ago, was timed in 26.39 seconds. Lochte, who won both his races Friday night, was second in 26.52 seconds. The personable Lochte chuckled when asked about Suvurov now having bragging rights. "He better not get used to it, for my sake," he said. "He swam a good race. "The 50 back, I really cant say much about it. As far as Im concerned 50s should not be in swimming. Too short of an event for me. I need a couple of turns." Any frustration Lochte felt over the loss were worked out in the 200-metre individual medley which he won in a meet record time of two minutes 0.15 seconds. Suvurov was third in 2:06.66. "I just wanted to go out there and race tough," said Lochte, the world record holder in the 200 IM. "What me and my coach talked about was the race strategy and my stroke technique, hitting the walls right. "I showed tonight. I am on the right track." It also was a good night for Torontos Brittany MacLean, who has battled injuries all season. MacLean, who swims at Georgia, won the 400 freestyle in 4:13.32. "Its nice to see a good result," said the 19-year-old who finished seventh in the same event at the 2012 London Olympics. "Its a pretty decent time for me right now. "I worked my arms more than normal just because I have a little bit of a weak leg. It feelt great all the way through.dddddddddddd Im encouraged and excited to get faster for the summer." MacLean began the year with a shoulder problem, then hurt her hamstring while qualifying for the Canadian team that will compete at the World Championships in August. Prior to the nights first swim Olympic medallist Brent Hayden was recognized in a special retirement ceremony. The former 100-metre freestyle world champion, and three-time Olympian, was presented with a plaque that contained his swimming history plus photographs and memorabilia. "It was amazing," said the 29-year-old who retired after winning a bronze medal at last summers London Olympics. "Sometimes I have to remember exactly what it was I accomplished over 10 years. "It almost brought a tear to me eye." Hayden, who was born in Mission, B.C., and attended UBC, remains the Canadian record holder in the 200, 100 and 50-metre freestyle. Tera Van Beilen of Oakville, Ont., won her second race of the weekend, taking the 200-metre breaststroke in 2:29.51. "I think I can only get better from here," said Van Beilen. "This is still within a hard training block. So the fact I am where I am now, despite what happened last week, its positive for me. I can only keep smiling as much as I can right now." Other womens races winners included Vancouvers Noemie Thomas, who took the 100-metre butterfly in 58.78; Calgarys Ingrid Wilm won the 50 backstroke in 29.58; Tianna Rissling of Redcliff, Alta., won the 200 IM in 2:17.30; and American Natalie Hinds was victorious in the 50 freestyle in 25.87. Among the mens winners was Vancouvers Coleman Allen, who won the 100 butterfly in 54.71; Victorias Jeremy Bagshaw the 400 freestyle in 3:53.56; American Bradley deBorde took the 50 free in 23.67; and Andrew Poznikoff, of Drumheller, Alta., the 200 breaststroke in 2:18.44.
