SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Mercedes has confirmed it is running an upgraded power unit at the Belgian Grand Prix after spending five engine tokens coming into the weekend.The upgraded power unit was fitted to both cars ahead of the start of the first practice session at Spa-Francorchamps, but Mercedes was not willing to go into details about which parts have been upgraded. FIA documents show that both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are running new Internal Combustion Engines, turbochargers, MGU-Hs and MGU-Ks, but that does not necessarily offer an indication of which components are carrying the upgrades.The token spend coincides with Hamiltons grid penalty this weekend after he exceeded the number of turbo and MGU-H components allowed over the course of the season -- a hangover from failures earlier in the season. The British driver has already used two brand new power units this weekend in order to stockpile components for later in the season and avoid additional penalties, while teammate Rosberg still has one penalty-free power unit change left this year -- understood to be scheduled for Suzuka.Mercedes customer teams all took fresh power units at the German Grand Prix, so will not benefit from any of the upgrades within the sealed perimeter of the six components until they take their next power unit.Mercedes now has six tokens left to spend over the rest of the year, but was not able to confirm when they would be spent.2016 engine token spendFerrari 29 (3 remaining) Honda 29 (3 remaining) Mercedes 26 (6 remaining) Renault 11 (21 remaining) china jerseys wholesale .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey. china jerseys cheap .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Now that his flag-carrying duties are out of the way, Michael Phelps is eager to get started on his fifth Olympics.That will likely come Sunday in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, a title the Americans are gunning to reclaim after getting chased down by the French in 2012.Phelps expected debut would be one of the highlights on the second day of swimming at the Rio Games, though hed have to share the spotlight with Katie Ledecky.Shell be seeking the first of an expected three individual gold medals, going in as a heavy favorite in the 400 freestyle. The only suspense seems to be whether shell break her own world record.Ledecky already picked up her first medal of the games, anchoring the womens 4x100 free relay to a silver-medal finish behind Australia on Saturday.Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, wants to do his part for the mens relay team.Thats something Ive had the privilege to be a part of since 2004, and Im hoping to have the opportunity again, Phelps said. Its always super-fast and there are always some wild, crazy splits that take place.In 2008, the Americans memorably defeated the French when Jason Lezak rallied against Alain Bernard with the fastest 100 split in history, a victory that kept Phelps on course to win a record eight gold medals in Beijing.Four years ago, the French got their revenge when Yannick Agnel caught Ryan Lochte on the anchor leg.This time, its hardly a two-country race.The Australians figure to be in the mix, especially riding the momentum of an impressive opening night at the pool. They captured two gold medals, also taking the mens 400 free when Mack Horton held off defending Olympic champion Sun Yang of China, doubling up on the one gold medal they managed during their disappointing performance at the 2012 London Games.You can probabbly pick three or four teams that are going to have a chance to win that relay, Phelps said.dddddddddddd The Australians made a significant charge over the past couple of years with their mens and womens teams combined. A lot of younger guys really stepped up, and that brings more excitement to the sport.The Americans are eager for gold after getting shut out on the first night of swimming, settling for three silvers. It was a first time they failed to win at least one race during an Olympic finals session at the pool since Aug. 14, 2008 -- the lone day Phelps didnt go for gold in Beijing.Phelps has been part of the 4x100 free relay at the last three Olympics, even though the 100 free has never been one of his individual specialties. Its unfathomable that the Americans would leave off a swimmer with 18 golds and 22 medals overall, especially after a dismal performance at last years worlds when the U.S. didnt even qualify for the final -- a performance that was especially galling to Phelps, who had to sit out the meet as part of his punishment for a second drunken-driving arrest.I do know that the coaching staff will put out the four fastest guys, whoever that is, Phelps said coyly. Im looking forward to either watching or being in that race.Also on tap for the second day of swimming: finals in the womens 100 butterfly, in which Swedens Sarah Sjostrom is favored to take down defending champion Dana Vollmer of the U.S., and the mens 100 breaststroke, where Adam Peaty of Britain already took down his own world record during the preliminaries.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
