    SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Red Bull reserve driver Pierre Gasly said driving with the Halo cockpit protection device was weird but did not have a big impact on visibility. Air Force 1 Uomo Saldi .The Halo is undergoing its final on-track tests before a decision is taken on whether or not it is introduced next year. Gasly became the latest driver to run it during a test session on Tuesday and said the structure had only marginally changed visibility from the cockpit.It does not change much in terms of visibility but it feels weird to see something above your helmet, also on the straight you see this sort of big triangle above you, he said. Now, I think you get used to it and you definitely can drive with it.But for me, Formula One has always been open cockpit. For sure, there are more risks but drivers have known this for a long time and I think all drivers that climb into a racing car are aware of the risks and accept them. I dont think things should change on that front. Its always been that way. Well see what happens but I like it how it is now.It was the first time any team other than Ferrari has tested a Halo prototype and the run came two days after Red Bull boss Christian Horner said he plans to vote against it at upcoming Strategy Group meetings. Air Force 1 Italia . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Air Force 1 Alte Graphic . According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. http://www.airforce1outletitalia.it/ . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football. Fernando Alonso says Honda has been invigorated by McLarens recent form, something he believes will help it find the bigger step needed to be a race-winner in 2017.McLaren has scored five top-eight finishes in the last six races, having promised after the summer break to finish the season as best of the rest in terms of pace behind Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari. Ahead of Hondas home race in Japan this weekend, Alonso thinks there are plenty of reasons to be encouraged.We are happy with the progress we made this year and definitely we are able to fight with some competitive teams there, like Force India, Williams, he said. Weve finished four times seventh, after the top teams, in the last five races, so its definitely a step forward and we are enjoying this process of starting to be competitive.But looking at next year I dont think we can see anything that is clearly positive or negative. I think everything will change massively. We need to work and be very focussed on next years car in a way now that is only theoretical, simulators, windtunnel numbers and dyno numbers, etc. I dont think the performance of the actual car is a reference for next year. So thats one thing... We want to be more competitive next year.A big step has been done from last year to next year, but we need another bigger step for next year which is going from the last Q3 spots and some points to fighting for podiums and wins. I think its still possible, we have the potential, we have the facilities, we have talented people. This project is, as weve said many times, a question of time when we will be able to win. Air Force 1 Alte Just Do It. We are trying to make it as quickly as possible.Alonso says the recent results have given Honda added motivation as it targets a winning car under 2017s radical rule changes.When asked to compare Honda to his experiences with Renault and Ferrari, he replied: I found it very interesting from day one, working with Honda. I think the philosophy and approach they have to racing in general, and in some extent to life, is interesting. Im a big fan of Japanese culture and traditions and I think they translate that into racing philosophy. Theyve been following their programme -- sometimes for us, sportsmen or fans, its frustrating as we want everything now, or tomorrow, but theres not this magic solution in Formula One, everything needs some time.But they are doing their job and doing the maximum. They are following their times...Everything made in Japan, only with Japanese people, and its their mission, so Im very proud to be part of this project since day one. And now the results are coming I think they are more motivated and starting to be more creative in terms of design and progress.Alonso also confirmed he will be running the upgraded Honda power unit he took on Friday in Malaysia, before switching back to the old specification in order to avoid taking a penalty at Suzuka. However, the Spaniard said the upgrade was for reliability and has has exactly the same power as the old specification Jenson Button will run.? ' ' '
