F1s planned qualifying revamp will lead to more mistakes from teams and drivers out of position on the grid for the start of races, reckons Williams technical chief Pat Symonds.In an unexpected move, the FIA announced F1s stakeholders had voted unanimously to introduce a more dramatic version of F1s three-part knockout qualifying system.The new format, which will see the slowest cars eliminated on a more regular basis through the one hour session than is currently the case, is aimed at increasing unpredictability and, pending final ratification, could be introduced as early as this season, which begins in Australia on March 18-20. Symonds, Williams experienced chief technical officer, reckons that while the changes may not actually improve the Saturday spectacle, Sundays race should benefit.Were certainly need to spend a lot more time thinking about it, he told reporters at the Barcelona test.I dont think its going to improve qualifying itself - in fact, I think qualifying might be not as exciting and not build up to that final crescendo.But what there is a good chance of doing is improving the race because its quite a difficult situation and has been done at very short notice, so were not going to have a lot of time to get our thoughts together and optimise anything and write loads of software to help us optimise it.So I think all of us are going to make mistakes, particularly early on. So that means there will be occasions when cars are out of position and so you will see some of the quicker cars a bit further back.We all know that has given us some great races in the past. Ted Kravitz takes you through everything that happened on the third day of Formula 1 pre-season testing. McLarens Eric Boullier agreed that qualifying would not become even more intense for teams, but is confident they have the resources in place to ensure they are not caught out.Its extra pressure for everybody - for the drivers and the team itself, he said.Its true that we have to be very coordinated and we cant release the car or ask the drivers to do their lap time at the wrong time anymore, we have no flexibility. Lewis Hamilton hopes fans benefit from the qualy changes We have enough resources and already a big strategy group between Woking and the pitwall so thats going to be taken into consideration and we have to deal with it.World champion Lewis Hamilton said on several occasions last season that he would welcome a change in F1s race weekend format, but the Briton doesnt believe the changes announced this week represent a revolution.I dont really feel like its going to change much, to be honest, Hamilton said.But I hope its a surprise for us all and it does. Generally the format is the same, I guess it just puts more focus on getting your laps in and keeping people out all the time.Hopefully it will be good for spectators.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.

You guys have a much better perspective of that than I do here. I think its an exciting matchup of local-like teams and universities.Its also a matchup of vastly contrasting styles.UConn (2-1) is a methodical team that runs about 66 plays a game and puts up an average of 330 yards of offense. It wants to win games by controlling field position and time of possession. It is built, Diaco said, to keep games close. The Huskies three games this season have been decided by a total of 10 points.Syracuse (1-2), under first-year-coach Dino Babers, runs the fastest-paced offense in college football, with an average of 93 snaps and 505 yards offense. They ran a school-record 105 plays a week ago.Its like defending two games, Diaco said.The Orange, who will be playing their first road game this season, are trying to bounce back from back-to-back double-digit losses Louisville (62-28) and South Florida (45-20).As we grow together, well get better and better at it, said Babers.Here are some other things to watch for as UConn hosts Syracuse:DOG TIREDDiaco said hes concerned that Syracuses hurry-up tempo could be dangerous if he is unable to get fatigued defenders off the field. He said there is nothing he can do tactically to slow down the pace of the game and would never coach a player to fake an injury just to stop play. But he said exhaustion is a real possibility if his team is unable to substitute. Miikal Myers, UConns 325-pound defensive tackle, said he and his teammates feel they are physically ready for the challenge.dddddddddddd Strength and conditioning coach Matt Balis kills us all summer, so hopefully in translates to the game on Saturday, he said.RECEIVERSThe game features two of the nations top wide receivers. Syracuses Amba Etta-Tawo , a graduate transfer from Maryland, has 28 catches for 436 yards and three touchdowns. He leads the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranks third nationally in receiving yards per game (145.3), and his 9.3 receptions per game are tied for fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision. UConns Noel Thomas has 26 catches (seventh nationally) for 277 yards. No other Husky receiver has more than seven catches.BABERS-QUARTERBACK SUCCESSSyracuse quarterback Eric Dungey is has already thrown for 960 yards this season. Hes hoping to follow in the footsteps of other signal callers who have done well in Babers high-octane offense. One of those guys is Jimmy Garoppolo. The New England Patriots quarterback played under Babers at Eastern Illinois, where he threw for 8,873 yards and 84 touchdowns over two seasons.GOING FOR ITSyracuse has attempted to convert nine fourth downs already this season and has been successful five times. The Orange have punted the ball 19 times. UConn is 3 for 3 in fourth-down conversion attempts.SERIESUConn has won six of the nine meetings between the programs, which all occurred between 2004 and 2012, when both were members of the Big East. The Orange beat the Huskies 40-10 in their last game, which was played at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse has never beaten the Huskies in Connecticut. ' ' '
