Rugby World Cup-winner Jonny Wilkinson has admitted to being left in awe by Eddie Jones current England squad.Wilkinson has been working with Jones on an informal basis during the autumn campaign and was at Twickenham last Saturday to witness Englands defeat of Australia.That victory was the teams 14th in a row and ensured the current crop equalled the English record run, set by Wilkinson and his teammates 13 years ago.I dont have anything to add to these guys, I promise you, I go there and watch, Wilkinson was quoted as saying about his role in various British newspapers on Tuesday.Im in awe of what theyre doing and how theyre doing it but coming from 20 years of experience. However, that 20 years means nothing unless they tell me exactly what it means from them.Im learning a lot about how theyre doing things and it really quite awe inspiring.Wilkinson believes that England have developed an ability to adapt to pressure situations -- such as losing Elliot Daly to a red card after five minutes against Argentina last month -- and find a way to win, that could help them emulate the World Cup-winning vintage of 2013.By that, I mean whatevers happening to them on the field, theyre starting to look like theyre just capable of understanding it and reforming it and remoulding it into something that works for them, he said.To be able to say, right, were up against it and against a fabulous side. Were OK, no worries, well work it out and thats the kind of the same image thats coming to me through training to preparing for the next game.Its just brilliant momentum where these guys are just picking up the ability to respond and choose the journey they want and theyre choosing at the moment to go out there and perform. We need to keep that going. Scarpe Vans Offerte Online . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Scarpe Vans Scontate Online . The next step is a better finish.

The FIA has confirmed the F1 Commission unanimously voted to revamp the current three-part Saturday format when it met to discuss future rules in Geneva on Tuesday.The governing body has also announced plans to introduce some form of cockpit protection for 2017 with the halo concept currently the preferred option. New bodywork regulations will also be introduced for next season in order to create more exciting cars, delivering additional downforce to increase speeds and lower lap times.Qualifying to be revampedF1 has held three-part knockout qualifying sessions since 2006, and while the structure of Q1, Q2 and Q3 sessions will be retained, there will be more regular eliminations during the hour of running.Under the proposal, Q1 would last for 16 minutes and after seven minutes the slowest driver would be knocked out and forced to return to the pit lane. Six more drivers would then be eliminated at 90-second intervals before the session concluded. Qualifying hours could be more frenetic in 2016 With 15 drivers left in the running, a 15-minute Q2 session would then take place with the next slowest driver knocked out after six minutes followed by four more at 90-second intervals.Eight rather than 10 drivers would then take part in the final Q3 session to determine pole position. This phase would increase from 10 to 14 minutes in length but the driver with the slowest time would be eliminated after five minutes and then one more every 90 seconds.The fastest two drivers would then be left to contest pole in the final minute and a half of the session. F1 Testing: Live Follow the latest updates from pre-season testing in Barcelona The idea really is that it will be the same as qualifying in wet conditions, said F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Maybe one or two of the hot-shoes arent going to make it [to the front]. So we wont see the obvious on the front of the grid.The FIA stated the changes are being evaluated for introduction, potentially as soon as the beginning of the 2016 season. Provided the plans go ahead after further analysis, they will have to be ratified by the World Motor Sport Council on March 4 to be included for the new season which begins in Australia on March 20.While the current qualifying format has been deemed a success over the past decade, it appears team chiefs believe more constant eliminations during the hour will increase the chances of creating more unpredictable grids with driver or team mistakes more heavily penalised. Rachel Brookes brings you the latest updates from pre-season testing in Barcelona.dddddddddddd Sky F1 commentator David Croft tweeted: Cant say whether the new qualy format will be a change for the better until we get the full details but I do wonder why it needed a change?With the rules necessitating that cars are on track more often during the hour, the prospect of cars running into traffic while navigating past eliminated cars on their way back to the pits would increase.So, musical chairs qualifying its to be? said Sky F1 analyst Mark Hughes. Stewards are going to need eyes in backs of heads to see every single blocking move, esp Q1.Ted Kravitz is not convinced the idea will succeed in ensuring the fastest cars are on track more often during the hour.I wonder whether the F1 bosses on the Commission pay attention to how F1 cars produce quick qualifying times, he said. The best times are set when the tyre is on its first or second hot lap. After that, the best performance of the tyre is gone and the lap times dont improve. Constant eliminations would increase the prospect of drivers finding each other at different speeds on track So the reality is that teams will not just go out onto the track and keep going round and round to set quicker times. Theyll go out, set what they hope is the quickest time on a fresh tyre, come back in, and let the slower cars get dropped one by one as the session progresses.In addition to rules for the forthcoming season, the Geneva meetings were aimed at establishing a resolution on regulations for 2017 amid attempts to make cars faster and more dramatic-looking. The deadline has been pushed back to April 30, but agreement has been reached on increases to the width and weight of cars.Future F1 needs a masterplan, not bubble bursts of random ideas that find a way through the many faceted and largely impenetrable systems, said Martin Brundle.However, in a move that is likely to be welcomed by the majority of drivers, the Commission agreed on the introduction of some form of cockpit protection from 2017 with the Mercedes-inspired halo concept set to be adopted. The halo cockpit protection for drivers has moved one step closer to being introduced from next year The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.
