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. 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.Jake Guentzel Penguins Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side.

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. Sidney Crosby Penguins Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Joe Mullen Penguins Jersey . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration.Mitchell Starc may finally be about to become the dominant Test match bowler he has occasionally threatened to be, having passed 100 wickets amid the fine returns of 5 for 44 on the opening day against Sri Lanka in Galle. Having made his debut in December 2011, only five Tests after Nathan Lyon, Starc is more than halfway to the spinners tally of wickets, having played fewer than half the number of matches.For a long time Starc was a bowler who never played more than one Test in succession - following his first two appearances against New Zealand, he dropped out of the Test XI no fewer than 13 times for reasons of form, team balance, fitness or informed player management. Now 26 and free of the ankle spurs that afflicted him for much of that time, Starc is now ready to turn the glimpses he showed in playing 11 consecutive Tests in 2015.Physically I think the six-month break I had with my foot and my ankle was really good for me to get some really good time in the gym and build up that strength that I lost probably through the Ashes series and the one-day series there, he said. Ive been really happy with where my bodys at physically leading into the triangular series in the West Indies and this Test series.Im starting to get that consistency back in Test cricket anyway. The first Test here definitely wasnt the best Ive bowled, but started to get a bit of rhythm back through there, so I was pretty happy with how they came out today. Josh [Hazlewood] and I really enjoyed bowling with each other in partnerships. He hits a spot and is a genius at doing that, and allowing me to bowl as fast and aggressive as I can from the other end. We work really well together there, so its nice to be back and hopefully be around for a lot longer than I have in the past.The display at Galle may have started with the good fortune of a leg-stump half-volley flicked fortuitously to Joe Burns forward of square leg, but otherwise Starc posed a constant threat, offering bounce with the new ball and then sharp reverse swing with the old - movement that Hazlewood was able to extract as early as the 22nd over. He was able to prosper, too, without conjuring much in the way of conventional swing with the new ball: a method he has leaned on at times in the past.Sometimes it just doesnt swing as much for some guys, Starc said. For me it didnt swing too much in the first Test but did enough to create a few chances.dddddddddddd Today was finding a different way to take wickets and get the ball reversing. Therell be days where it swings a lot more and other days where it doesnt, but Joshy bowled pretty well with the swinging ball early and then with the reversing ball.Josh started getting a bit of reverse, so we talked about if we could hit that rough side a little bit more we might get more reverse and obviously it did. Josh bowled really well, I was lucky to get a bit of movement, and Mitchy Marsh bowled pretty well with the reversing ball as well, so I think we did that a lot better this game, and looked after the rough side of the ball better than the first Test.One reason Starc was all to utilise reverse movement was the fact he now possesses greater control of an away swinger to the right hander from over the wicket. In times gone by, he has mainly concentrated on using it from around the wicket, angle in then swing away. However, his work with Allan Donald on this tour has featured more use of the angle from over the stumps, and both bowler and interim coach were very satisfied to see Kusal Mendis fall to one such delivery. After this series, David Saker will take over as Starcs mentor on a three-year deal, heralding a period of continuity that he hopes will be mirrored by his bowling and body.With AD Ive been working pretty much on that delivery that got Mendis out with that reversing ball, Starc said. Pretty pleased thats come off and something Ive worked on with him since being in Colombo and obviously the last couple of weeks as well. ADs been great, weve all got a lot out of him so far and hopefully that continues for the rest of this Test and the third as well.I havent worked with David before, Ive heard good things about his time in England and speaking to a few of the Victorians on the triangular series tour Ive only heard good things. So Im excited to work with him later on, but at the moment its working alongside Allan Donald to try to win this series. Weve always got great guys around us, whether it be Craig McDermott, Allan Donald here or David Saker coming up. To have a guy locked in for the next three years, having that one guy there to work with us is really good for a young group. ' ' '
