Mercedes is looking to be the first team in recent times to maintain an advantage through a major rule change when Formula Ones aerodynamic regulations get overhauled this winter.The last two seismic changes to F1s technical regulations have put an end to periods of dominance for certain teams and brought about new eras of dominance in the sport. Big changes to the aerodynamic regulations in 2009 saw 2008s title protagonists Ferrari and McLaren flounder and Brawn GP emerge as champions with an innovative double diffuser concept. Once the double diffuser concept was copied by rivals and eventually banned, Red Bull emerged as F1s dominant force and win four consecutive titles until the last big regulation change in 2014. At that point Mercedes unlocked the most performance from the current V6 turbo engine regulations and has dominated F1 ever since.Rivals are hoping the 2017 rule changes -- which will see wider cars, wider tyres and revised aerodynamic regulations -- will finally crack Mercedes F1 hegemony, but the world champions engineering director Aldo Costa sees an opportunity to buck the F1 trend.Of course, as you said, the regulation change will be pretty vast, on a lot of car aspects, he said in Monza. We know we have in front of us this big, big challenge. We would love to be the team that is breaking exactly that rule -- that with the new rules there are new leaders. We would like really to break this rule, but it is tough.Although the chassis regulations are changing dramatically, the engine regulations remain unchanged, meaning Mercedes should retain its power unit advantage. At the Belgian Grand Prix Mercedes brought another upgrade to its already class-leading power unit and, although it still has the scope to bring further updates under F1s engine token system, Costa said its V6 turbo is already a good basis for further development next year.We are evaluating further development [this year]. We are not yet finally decided on what to do, but we are working hard to find new items to develop for this year, with an engine that is anyway a very good base for next years championship.Wholesale Vapormax Plus .

But Im very, very pleased." Haas has 16 Champions Tour victories after winning nine times on the PGA Tour. Waldorf is winless in 11 career starts on the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour. "Tee to green, it was a very good day," Waldorf said. "All in all, I hit the ball really well. I really liked my iron play. I had quite a few birdie putts. I didnt make them all so I feel like I still had some more out there." Sonny Skinner, the PGA head professional at River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., was a stroke back along with Japans Kiyoshi Murota. "Im not going to adjust my goals because I did have a good day today," Skinner said. "My main goal coming into this tournament was to just try to stay within each shot and each moment. A lot of times when youre on the outside looking into a big stage like the Champions Tour, its real easy to get excited and your eyes wandering all over the place at how wonderful it is. "You lose sight of the fact that, Hey, I got to play golf."

His uncle, Bob Goalby, the 1968 Masters winner who stills lives in Belleville, followed him on the back nine holes. "I think he was happy for me," said Haas, who was going to have dinner with Goalby and other family members. "Hell try and get over when he can. The last time he walked nine holes, I dont know when that was." Haas made his way around the course with a balky back that he said left him in "a little bit" of pain. Waldorf finished ninth in the 1992 PGA Championship at Bellerive. Murota had six birdies and a double bogey. Skinner, a two-time winner on what is now the Web.com Tour, had six birdies and two bogeys and hit all 14 fairways in regulation.
