Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says his drivers are pushing each other to new heights this year as they battle for the championship.Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton are both in the running for the 2016 title, with just eight points separating them with six rounds remaining. Between the two of them they have won every race bar the Spanish Grand Prix -- where they collided while fighting for the lead -- and Wolff believes both are at the top of their games.Like Singapore, this was a race where we underperformed last year, so we will need to push hard to put that right, he said. We can guarantee that the drivers will be doing just that. This year more than ever, weve seen that they are pushing each other to new heights.Were entering a gruelling phase of this record 21 race season, where the physical and mental challenge of a Championship reaches its absolute peak. Were in good shape - but we must remain on our toes to get the ball over the line.Rosberg has hit a run of form over the last three races, with three consecutive victories ahead of Hamilton. But the championship leader is not convinced the momentum will last and is also wary of Red Bull and Ferrari at this weekends Malaysian Grand PrixI wont take it for granted. Ive had a good run lately and Im enjoying the moment. But as far as the next race goes, or the next one after that and so on... its anyones game. Red Bull and Ferrari are both pushing us really hard, so there will be some tough weekends ahead.Its exciting for the fans and pushes us even harder to keep improving, so thats a great thing. Malaysia didnt work out perfectly for us last year, so if we can win it this time against such tough opposition that would be really awesome. 49ers Jerseys China .

ESPNs poll of the NFLs top five MVP candidates includes four players who probably would not have been considered MVP candidates coming into this season (Derek Carr, Matt Ryan, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott).That point illustrates how the 2016 NFL campaign could end up as a sea of change for the league, yet that view becomes even clearer when noting the volume of very strong dark-horse MVP candidates. Here are four to consider:1. QB Kirk Cousins, Washington RedskinsOne reason Washington was hesitant to give Cousins a long-term contract in the offseason was the question about his vertical passing (prroduction on aerials traveling 11 or more yards downfield).ddddddddddddCousins did rate fourth among passer-rated quarterbacks in vertical yards per attempt (YPA) over the course of the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but a lot of his 12.0-yard mark in that category was in part thanks to receiver DeSean Jackson. Cousins had a 19.6 vertical YPA mark on throws to Jackson in this time frame, a pace that was nearly double the 10.2 vertical YPA Cousins had on targets to other receivers. ' ' '
