Ross Brawn believes it is entirely possible one team will dominate under next years rule changes in the same way Mercedes dominates under the current set of technical regulations.Mercedes has won 50 of the 58 races since the last major regulation change in 2014, with only Red Bull (five wins) and Ferrari (three wins) scoring victories in the same three-year period. The domination has its foundations in the work conducted under Brawns leadership ahead of the last regulation change, and the former team principal can see another team doing the same in 2017.I think there are definitely some positives to whats happening in 2017, he told ESPN in an exclusive interview. I think the reality is the longer you leave the regulations the same, the closer the teams get -- and you are starting to see that now. Mercedes is still winning but people are starting to nip at their heels and more time with the same regulations would make that even closer Im sure.When new regulations come, someone gets on top of them quicker than the rest and that was always what I tried to do, but that slope that comes flattens off and everyone else catches up. But what you may well see next year is somebody takes an interpretation of the regulations, gets ahead of the game and has a big advantage. I dont know who that might be, but you could easily see someone disappearing [ahead].Red Bull or Mercedes?Red Bull was one of the main instigators for change ahead of the drafting of the 2017 regulations and its expertise in aerodynamics have led to the belief it will excel next season. However, Brawn believes Mercedes is just as likely to find the key to 2017 success as Red Bull.Dont underestimate Mercedes, its a strong outfit and a good car. There are four teams with Mercedes engines and only one that is winning, and there is a reason for that: its a good team and a good car. Dont underestimate what Mercedes can achieve. But Red Bull would have been one of the main protagonists behind this rule change, which is why I say that the political element is always there in Formula One.Faster cars but at what cost?Aside from one team dominating the sport, Brawn is also concerned about the impact it has on racing. The 2017 regulations should see lap times reduce by as much as five seconds per lap next season, but much of that lap time will be found through enhanced aerodynamics. At the start of the year, several F1 engineers raised concerns over the problems that could create for cars following one another and Brawn also has his doubts about the new regulations.What one hopes is that it improves the racing from the point of view that it is much more challenging for the drivers physically. To drive that car at maximum speed for 50, 60 or 70 laps is going to be very challenging for the drivers. Therefore, I think youll see more variation during a race of drivers fatiguing and losing performance -- that will be a positive element.Most of the performance gain -- there will be some gain from tyres -- but most of the performance gain appears to be from aerodynamic benefits and Im always a little bit nervous about that because of the relationship between the cars on the track.The more aerodynamic performance you create, the more sensitive you are to the wake of the car in front. Its not always the case, because the aerodynamics can be profiled and shaped and managed to reduce that impact, but inherently that is the case. So I hope these regulations arent going to impact the ability of these cars to race together.And they are going to be very quick! If everyone was saying the target was going to be three seconds per lap then you can guarantee it will be five seconds, because that is Formula One. In the calm of a meeting room, everyone can agree to the changes that they think mean three seconds a lap, but once the engineers get stuck in after a year of two it will be five seconds a lap. So the cars are going to be very quick next year.Interview conducted by Jennie Gow Cheap Saucony Shoes China . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.

Argentina boasts Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria. A late fightback from Northampton could not deny Bath a deserved opening day victory at a drenched Franklins Gardens.George Ford kicked all Baths points as the visitors controlled a dreary game with no try-scoring chances until, with six minutes to go, replacement scrum-half Nic Groom scored two tries in four minutes.Bath held on for the final two minutes to record a victory that will put last seasons woes behind them and give new director of rugby Todd Blackadder a winning start.Northampton gave a first start to big-money signing Louis Picamoles, the French international joining from Toulouse in the summer, while director of rugby Jim Mallinder decided to put son Harry at fly-half, leaving regular number 10 Stephen Myler on the bench.Bath had a new number eight of their own in British Lion Taulupe Faletau, but the Welsh international lasted just 12 minutes, limping off on the same leg that had a thigh already heavily strapped.After missing out on the play-offs last season Saints were hoping Mallinder would ignite a backline that failed to fire last term, but in the rain it did not materialise. And the one constant that has been Northamptons lineout was badly disrupted by Bath, who also took the honours in the scrum.The early pressure from the home side brought two penalties, with both kicked to the corner, but both times England captain Dylan Hartley failed to find his jumper, with David Denton proving a nuisance.Mallinder missed the first shot at the posts on 23 minutes and instead Ford put the visitors 3--0 in front seven minutes before half-time and five minutes later he added to it with a drop-goal right in front after Saints lost another lineout on their 22.ddddddddddddMallinder sliced a penalty right in front of the posts wide leaving the home side scoreless and 6-0 down at the break.And he started the second half with a bad pass that saw Ahsee Tuala knock-on. Bath won a penalty at the scrum just outside the 22 and Ford made it 9-0.Suddenly Bath were playing full of confidence, Saints were missing tackles and Semesa Rokoduguni was about to touch down after totally flummoxing Tuala with a sidestep, but he was brought back for a forward pass.As the game entered the last quarter Myler came on at fly-half with Mallinder moving to inside centre position, but the errors were still giving Bath chances and another Ford drop-goal made it 12-0.The Saints scrum was also in trouble, shoved off their own ball to give Ford an easy three points from 20 metres out.The TMO decided on another penalty, as Courtney Lawes was judged to have not used his arms in a tackle and from just outside the Saints 22 Ford made it 18-0.After Chris Cook was sin-binned with six minutes to go Groom scurried over for a try and four minutes later the home crowd suddenly came alive as he juggled the ball to touch down from close range again.But it was all too late and Bath ended their 16-year hoodoo at Northampton.
