One of the myths about Formula One pre-season testing in Spain is that the February weather in Barcelona and Jerez is anything approaching warm. Dame Nike Air Force 1 Reimagined Collection Jester XX Sko Hvid AO1220-100 Danmark Billig . The sun shines -- albeit low in the sky -- but often the circuits are spotted with frost in the early mornings, and track temperatures are hardly representative of those seen during the season.In 2014 F1 had two pre-season tests in Bahrain, giving teams the opportunity to get to know the new hybrid power units in representative conditions. Next year will see dramatic design changes to the cars themselves, added downforce, and a new approach to F1 rubber. But despite the logic of testing somewhere warm next winter, paddock finances point to another two weeks in Catalunya.In an exclusive interview with ESPN, Pirellis Paul Hembery talked about the challenges ahead for F1s tyre supplier in light of the changes to cars and tyres alike for the 2017 season.The good news is, we do have a test programme, Hembery said. As weve made people aware, we have started a 24 testing day programme split equally between Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, who have kindly supported us by developing a version of the 2015 car with an aerodynamic package intended to simulate what will be the effect of the 2017 rule regulations. This of course is a huge step forward. Were making such a dramatic change to the tyre width.Challenges? The downforce increases are substantial. The performance requirements are to improve by five seconds compared to the 2015 lap times. In reality, having seen maybe a two-second improvement already this season, next year it is likely that we will substantially improve on the lap time.The initial simulation data that we have would suggest, as I say, that would be easily surpassed. Of course we wont actually see the real cars until we get through to pre-season testing next year. The change is vast, increasing the width of front and rear tyres by six and eight centimetres respectively, which looks good. It makes the cars look very dramatic, with both the front and rear track increased by 20 centimetres each. The intention there is that it will make it easier for teams to overtake; if theyre following another car [we want to ensure] that the tyres wont reach a temperature peak, which has stopped the drivers from overtaking on some occasions. Of course, that will only work if we also reduce the impact of the weight of the aero of one car from another. The suggestions are that that will be improved in the aero. I wouldnt say there is universal opinion on that.Testing their tyres has long been a problem for Pirelli, thanks to the sports understandable focus on keeping costs -- and team travel time -- to a minimum. But with such dramatic changes expected for 2017, Pirelli have finally managed to negotiate much-needed days of mule car testing. But are the agreed test days the ideal solution from a Pirelli perspective?I think if you said to somebody, how should you do it correctly?, youd go to a circuit where you race so you have all the data, and youd go in conditions that represent the conditions that youre going to race in, Hembery said.In January and February, we will have a good indication when we do our testing now with the three teams. Weve tested at Fiorano and Mugello in early August, where the temperature at the moment is very, very warm. So we will start to get some very clear indications of testing with the mule cars that we have this year. As I said, there is no substitution for getting on the actual cars, which we will get next year and at the moment were undecided where the locations are.From a purely tyre-maker perspective it would be better to be in somewhere warm during that period of time. In the past few years we have been to Bahrain, which allowed us to have a clear indication of the tyre performance at much earlier stage. I understand that teams believe there is a certain cost penalty for doing that, but then again it is a sport that has a few billion spent on it. If the willingness is there Im sure the funding can be found.One session in Bahrain would already be a big step, so we would know where we are during the season, Hembery continued. That might not be able to affect what we do for Australia, but it means we can start working earlier if there are changes needed. Were obviously aiming not to make changes, however the changes are so important that there may well be things that we understand only by going on the track with the 10 or 11 different chassis that we have in Formula One.And if the teams decide that they cant afford a warm-weather test, and we are restricted to a fortnights pre-season testing in Spain in February, what impact would that have on Pirellis ability to test effectively?We can do a lot with simulation and indoor drum testing, Hembery acknowledged. You do the majority of work there, but the interaction between car, tyre and tarmac still requires going out and testing and looking at the tarmac. If thats all been changed, it changes completely the dynamic of the package. In reality you still need to go out on the track and do that testing.We need to have a good understanding how the compounds are working to understand if weve got the scaling right between them, if we have the degradation levels right or whether its too low or too high. [The teams] are still asking for two-stop strategy, which will become harder with less degradation -- why would you change your tyres? At the moment it is primarily due to performance.If we want to have a quicker understanding of how the tyres or compounds in particular are performing, we would need to go to somewhere like Bahrain as early as possible. Bedste Pris Herre/Dame Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Sko Sort/Sort 315123-001 DK .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. Tilbud Herre/Dame Nike Air Force 1 Low Sko Hvid/Metallisk Guld AA4083-102 DK . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf. http://www.airforce1dk.com/ . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance.INDIANAPOLIS -- Miami forward Chris Andersen grudgingly accepted his punishment from the NBA on Saturday morning. Hes not about to let Saturday nights suspension change him -- or the way he plays. Less than 24 hours after league officials upgraded Thursday nights flagrant one foul call to a flagrant two and suspended him for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, the guy better known in basketball circles as the "Birdman" told reporters he doesnt regret what happened. "It doesnt matter at this point," Andersen said when asked what led to the first-half skirmish in Game 5. "It was the heat of the moment. A guy pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I let it get to me. I cant regret anything. It is what it is, bro. At the time it was a flagrant one, now its a flagrant two." Andersen was called for a foul after knocking Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough to the floor with a blind-side body check. When Hansbrough got up, Andersen shoved him in the chest. Following a replay review, both players were called for technical fouls and Andersen drew the flagrant one. But when league officials took another look, they rescinded Hansbroughs technical and upgraded Andersens flagrant foul to what would have been an ejection had it been called that way on the floor. The body check and shove even had David Stern saying "I dont know what he was doing." Hansbrough is still befuddled, too. "Theres nothing I do differently against this team, I just come out and play my style," he said after the Pacers shootaround. "This one, Im not sure what happened. Its just playoff intensity, I guess." The loss of Andersen could have a major impact Saturday night. Miami won Game 5 thanks in part to Andersens presence inside, which helped the Heat get Indianas dominant inside game under control. Miami leads 3-2 and can clinch a third straight trip to the NBA Finals with a win Saturday in Indy where theyre 1-3 this season. Without Andersen, the Heaat loses one of their more physical players. Udsalg Herre Nike SF-AF1 Mid Sko Mushroom/Mushroom-Light Bone 917753-201 DK. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters that backup forward Joel Anthony will get some of the minutes usually reserved for Andersen. What else will the Heat be missing? A player who has made his last 17 shots and all 15 in this best-of-seven series. "Id say maybe finishing around the rim," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said when asked about the difference between Anthony and Andersen. "Obviously, anything less than 100 per cent is less than Chris Andersen." Vogel said he also expects Miami to make other adjustments such as using Chris Bosh inside more and giving Udonis Haslem more minutes. Haslem has gone 8 of 9 from the field in each of Miamis last two wins. As for Andersen, Spoelstra said the two discussed the play and the punishment Friday after the ruling was handed down. When asked about details of the discussion, Spoelstra said he was keeping that private. "Weve moved on and anything now is about getting this done tonight," he said. Vogel has his own concern. Team doctors have diagnosed starting forward David West with an upper respiratory infection. West missed Saturday mornings film session and after watching the first portion of the shootaround, Vogel said he sent West home early to get some additional rest. West has had a major role in the Pacers success all season and particularly in this series, in which he has averaged 18.2 points and 8.4 rebounds and if hes not at 100 per cent, it could be problematic as the Pacers attempt to send this series back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night. "Any time, youve got a guy who is not 100 per cent, its a concern," Vogel said. "But hell get rested this afternoon and hell be ready to go." The Heat wont have that luxury with Andersen -- until next week. "Ill deal with the repercussions of it and miss this game, but I know my guys are going to go out there and take care of it," Andersen said.Cheap Authentic Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys From China NFL Jerseys From China ' ' '
