Williams have become the first F1 team to launch their full 2016 car ahead of the start of pre-season testing on Monday. Hours before Ferraris online launch on Friday, Williams jumped their Italian rivals by unexpectedly releasing the first images of the new FW38 on social media.Decked out in the same Martini-themed livery first seen in 2014, Williams are aiming to take another step forward in the new season after re-establishing themselves as podium contenders with consecutive third-place finishes in the Constructors Championship. However, team owner Frank Williams acknowledges simply staying in the top three will be a challenge in 2016, with improvement expected from rivals who underperformed last season.Williams has started to cement our position back amongst the front running teams after finishing third in the Championship in the past two seasons, said Williams. This has been a great achievement given the resources of those around us.Staying where we are will be a challenge in itself, but we are determined to keep improving because only winning will ever be good enough.Williams field an unchanged driver line-up of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas in 2016 with the pair having proved well-matched over the previous two seasons. The car will again be powered by Mercedes engines. Williams say they have focused on improving their car in slow corners (Picture courtesy of Williams Racing) The Grove team finished on the podium four times last year and say they have focused on improving the FW37s weaker areas.2016 promises to be a very competitive year in Formula 1 and there will be a number of strong teams who have us in their sights, said deputy team principal Claire Williams.We are confident that we have made a step forward over the winter and that the FW38 will build on the strengths of the FW37 and address some of its weaknesses. We started design work on the car earlier than normal and hopefully this extra development time will stand us in good stead.F1 in 2016: Full calendar, launch dates and testing scheduleIn keeping with most teams heading into testing, Williams stressed that the car revealed on Friday is by no means the final product with a first update package already in development for the first race in Australia on March 20.It is no secret that the low speed performance of the FW37 didnt match its high speed performance so a lot of time was spent looking into why this was and subsequently making changes, which we hope will improve the situation, said technical chief Pat Symonds.

While most of the golfing world prepares for the return of the sport to the Olympics for the first time in 112 years, a fierce battle is set to be waged beginning Thursday at the $4.8 million John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill.With only two events remaining before the start of the FedExCup playoffs at The Barclays Aug. 25-28, the John Deere Classic provides a pivotal opportunity for those hanging around the bubble for the top 125 players to qualify. All but two players ranked from Nos. 120-135 will be in the field this week.Other notables include 2012 winner Zach Johnson, who has done no worse than tie for third at the event every year since 2011, three-time event champion Steve Sticker (2009-11) and former top-ranked amateur Jon Rahm, who makes his sixth career professional start as he seeks to earn his PGA Tour card for next season.Johnson is from an hour away in Iowa City, Iowa, and will make his 15th consecutive start at what he considers a home event. The JDC has typically been played in July, but was moved to August this year due to the jumbled schedule created by the Olympics and the Ryder Cup.Im excited for the week, Johnson said. I mean, its just a little bizarre its this week rather than July, but thats a whole nother subject. Its never a bad time to be in the Quad Cities.The top four players in the world opted not to play in the Olympics, which included third-ranked Jordan Spieth, who is also the defending JDC champion and a two-time winner of the event. In announcing he would skip the Rio Games, Spieth also said he would not defend his title in Iowa.I dont think it would be an appropriate move to play that week, Spieth said last month.That leaves the door of opportunity open for the 152-player field, headed by Johnson, who enters as the 22nd-ranked player in the world, followed by Kevin Na (No. 34).There are a lot of factors probably involved, Johnson said when asked about his success at the JDC. Im certainly comfortable with golf course. Im certainly comfortable with these greens and the bentgrass. Im certainly experienced here.With that comes confidence, I think. Oftentimes confidence, like Ive said, can breed momentum. It can just carry over week to week, month to month, year to year.With eight of the top 100 players in the field, it also leaves plenty of room for those hovering around the FedExCup bubble to earn critical points with next weeks Wyndham Championship serving as the final pre-playoff event.dddddddddddd do think its a little unfortunate that its the first week of the Olympics, Johnson said. You can look at it a number of different ways. There are only two weeks left before the playoffs start. There are only so many weeks left of Ryder Cup points. There are a lot of things at stake, so guys want to play and get some points here and there. There are incentives there.That includes Camilo Villegas and Brendon de Jonge, who skipped an opportunity to play in the Olympics so they could attempt to pick up FedExCup points in Illinois. Villegas enters the week No. 146, while de Jonge is No. 150, making this a critical tournament for both players. The current line for The Barclays sits with Johnson Wagner, who sits precariously in the 125th spot with 405 points. Wagner finished in a tie for fifth in this even last year.Rahm could throw another wrinkle into the equation with a victory this week. Playing on Special Temporary Members status, Rahm is not eligible for the FedExCup playoffs unless he wins an event. He already has 424 non-member points, and the former Arizona State star has a tie for third at the Quicken Loans International and a solo third at the Canadian Open among his first six professional starts.I dont think you ever achieve perfection in this game, Rahm said when asked if hes a perfectionist. The closest weve had to perfection weve had is Tiger, and we all know he was looking for it every single day.Im more of a feel player. Whatever I feel that day is what I do.Not only are there 500 FedExCup points on the line, but a $864,000 winners share. Spieth beat Tom Gillis in a playoff after the two tied at 20-under in regulation last year, so there are birdies to be had, and Johnson doesnt expect the course to play much different just because the tournament is a few weeks later this year.My guess is wont be a whole lot different, he said. I mean, I grew up in this area. July and August seem to be one month out here. Its hot, humid.If it was down South there is summer and really hot summer. Up here its different. Im assuming its not going to be a whole lot different. ' ' '
