JEREZ, Spain - Red Bull and Williams have launched the Formula One cars they hope will be able to better compete with Mercedes when the new season starts in six weeks time.
LaMichael James Dolphins Jersey .Red Bulls RB11 and the Williams FW37 were unveiled Sunday prior to the first day of pre-season testing at the Jerez circuit in southern Spain.Mercedes, which won the constructors championship by nearly 300 points, also launched its W06 on Sunday, with championship runner-up Nico Rosberg later taking the wheel on the first day of testing and completing a massive 157 laps. F1 champion Lewis Hamilton drives on Monday.Long before the end of last season, development work on our 2015 car became the main priority, Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, said. It would be so dangerous to rest on our laurels after 2014.Red Bull finished second overall last year and was the only team to win a race other than Mercedes, with Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo winning three GPs as Sebastian Vettel struggled. Williams finished third in the constructors championship, a sign for Rosberg that this seasons contest could be tougher for Mercedes.Red Bull, for example. Just one year ago they were the untouchable team. So you can expect them to be very strong, Rosberg said. Williams was right on our tail at the end of last season, they finished the last race just three seconds from us. We definitely expect our competitors to close the gap and we have a close eye on them.The opening race is on March 15 in Melbourne and Mercedes has been working on improving the chassis and power unit. A maximum of four power units are allowed this year, one less than 2014.Expectations are now high and a lot of assumptions are being made about our potential this season, Mercedes technical director Paddy Lowe said. You have to take risks to progress, but those risks must be carefully managed.While Red Bull and Ferrari changed their driver lineups — with Vettel joining Ferrari and two-time champion Fernando Alonso leaving Ferrari to join McLaren — Hamilton and Rosberg are driving together for the third straight season.The Williams pairing of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas showed encouraging speed last year — with Bottas securing six podium finishes.The new Williams car features some small changes to the front nose and bulkhead.The momentum we carry from last year has been very encouraging, said Massa, the championship runner-up in 2008. I am excited to be continuing to work with Valtteri, a driver with so much talent who has so much to offer both the team and me.After years of stability with Vettel alongside former driver Mark Webber, Red Bulls new pairing of Ricciardo and 20-year-old Daniil Kvyat is exciting and untested.Weve already seen what Daniel is capable of and we firmly believe that (Kvyat) has all the same attributes, team principal Christian Horner said. Theyre young, hungry, theyre incredibly quick and I think they are going to push each other very hard.Needing to make vast improvements on last year, Red Bull made changes to the lower nose box, the front of the chassis and the Renault power unit.The relationship with Renault is a lot closer now, Horner said. Red Bull is the only partner for Renault now, through ourselves and Toro Rosso, and that focus from Renault — together with a close involvement with our design team — is yielding good results.

Perry scored his NHL-leading eighth winner of the season with 1.3 seconds on the clock in overtime, giving the Anaheim Ducks a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. The 2011 MVP has a league-best 30 winning goals since the start of the 2010-11 season. "You could see it on his face every time he came to the bench. He was getting so frustrated," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "The last game and this game, he was getting so many good looks. Hopefully thatll break the ice and hell do what he normally does." The Ducks went on the power play at 3:54 of overtime when defenceman Kevin Bieksa was called for hooking. Ryan Getzlaf passed the puck to Perry from the blue line for a shot that beat rookie goalie Eddie Lack for his team-high 23rd goal. "I got the monkey off my back," Perry said. "I saw a couple seconds on the clock, yelled for the puck going to the net and knew I had to shoot right away. It probably fooled him and found a way to go in." The Ducks, off to a franchise-best 31-8-5 start and 17-0-2 at Honda Center, are the only team without a regulation loss at home. Anaheim is also the third club to open a season with a home point streak of 19 or more games, joining San Jose (2008-09) and Philadelphia (1979-80). The Ducks have won 13 of 14 overall since losing back-to-back shootouts against San Jose and Los Angeles. Bonino tied it with 1:27 left in regulation. Saku Koivu and Matt Beleskey scored in the second, and Jonas Hiller stopped 17 shots to extend his club-record and career-best winning streak to 11. Ryan Kesler and Henrik Sedin scored power play goals 2 minutes apart in the first, and Bieksa scored in the third for the Canucks. Lack made a career-high 45 saves, one night after Roberto Luongo had 45 in a loss to Los Angeles in his return following a three-game absence with a groin injury. "He brought it to another level tonight," Canucks coach John Tortorella said. "You try to find some good stuff (from a game like this), and that is certainly some real good stuff there." Luongo sat out, and Lacks backup was 43-year-old Rob Laurie -- who has never appeared in an NHL game and hasnt played professionally since 2002. The Southern California resident was summoned on an emergency basis. The Canucks also lost both ends of a Los-Angeles-Anaheim back-to-back set on Nov. 9-10. "You play good teams like Anaheim and L.
Jordan Cameron Dolphins Jersey. A. and you learn a lot of lessons," defenceman Dan Hamhuis said. "They expose things in your game that are not solid. We saw that in L.A., and we talked about that this morning. "Both games we had early leads and then we sat back. That is the biggest thing as to why we are giving up so many shots. We are playing not to lose, and we have to start playing to win at all times." Anaheim outshot Vancouver 40-7 over the second and third periods. Kyle Palmieri blocked Jason Garrisons one-timer from just inside the Anaheim blue line and carried the puck into the Vancouver zone, where he made a backhanded pass from the left circle into the slot. Beleskey backhanded it past Lack at 16:38 of the second to make it 2-all. The Canucks regained the lead when Bieksas wrist shot from just inside the blue line got past a screened Hiller 66 seconds into the third. But the Ducks pulled even again as Daniel Winnik stole Garrisons attempted clearing pass and fed Bonino for the goal. "Weve beaten ourselves a little bit," Tortorella said. "Weve had a lot of struggles in a lot of different areas the past couple of games. We have to keep our heads, and keep on working at our game." Vancouver, 2 for 23 on the power play over its previous eight games, took a 1-0 lead 9:40 in with Keslers 17th goal, scored one minute after Perry tripped Jannik Hansen. The Ducks were short-handed again less than a minute later after a penalty for too many men on the ice. Sedin scored his 10th goal on a deflection of Garrisons shot. "You cant do that against good teams. But we never backed down and we kept grinding," Perry said. "Those things are what character teams are made of. Were going to keep coming at you." The Canucks, who began the day with the best penalty-killing percentage in the league at 89.4, thwarted Anaheims first two power plays before Perrys winner. The Ducks are 2 for 34 over their last 11 games, including a season-worst 0 for 8 in Fridays win over Edmonton. NOTES: Perry has 44 points through 44 games. He had 15 goals and 36 points in the 44 games he played last season. ... Vancouver RW Zack Kassian left the game for good at 4:11 of the second period after teammate Tom Sestito caught him in the face with his skate while they were trying to get the puck away from Anaheim D Hampus Lindholm deep in the Ducks zone. ... Hiller has allowed 23 goals on 268 shots and given up more than two in a game only twice during his winning streak.
