SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Lewis Hamilton is set for a difficult fight through the field at Sundays Belgian Grand Prix after Mercedes confirmed he would take a grid penalty for using new power unit components.Under Formula Ones regulations, drivers are allowed to use no more than five of certain power unit components, with additional ones resulting in grid penalties. Following a series of technical problems at the opening rounds of the season, Hamilton has used five turbochargers and MGU-Hs this year, meaning the sixth will see him move down the grid from wherever he qualifies.Although the team will not make a final decision on how many new components to take until after Friday practice, a spokesperson said it is safe to assume he will be starting towards the back of the grid.As far as I am aware, we will be taking a penalty this weekend, yes, Hamilton said. In terms of winning, thats the goal, but obviously its going to be very hard if the gap has closed between other cars in the third evolution of these cars.Red Bull has been very quick in some of the races and the same with Ferrari particularly, and down the whole grid. So it is going to be hard -- or harder -- than it was in previous years to climb through the field, for sure. Ill do what I can and really its about minimising the damage of taking the penalty.The size of the penalty will depend on how many new components Mercedes decides to take. If it simply takes the sixth turbo and sixth MGU-H it will result in a 15-place penalty (10 places for the first sixth component he uses and an extra five for each additional sixth component). However, Mercedes may choose to stock up on components for later in the year by taking two new sets of all components (for example), which would result in Hamilton starting from the very back of the grid (assuming other drivers are not also impacted by grid penalties).The last time Hamilton started from last place was in China and he was able to fight back through the field to seventh despite damaging his front wing in the first corner. Asked how far he thought he could get up the field, he said it would depend on how big an advantage Mercedes has over its rivals.I dont know how far I can get up and it depends on the pace of the car, he said. So well start tomorrow and find out if Red Bull are right close with us, thatll be two cars less [I can overtake] and three [places] down and then the gap will follow behind. If the others are much, much slower the possibilities go up, but there could be safety cars and all sorts of things.I started last in Hungary a couple of years ago when the gaps [between teams] were much bigger and I came fourth, so Sunday is definitely going to be harder than that. I just hope I can get into the points, as long as Im going forwards thats what matters.Asked if he felt the team had let him down with the reliability issues earlier in the year, Hamilton added: Its a team sport and win and lose together as a team. Whether I make a mistake and the team take the penalty for it or the team makes a mistake -- sometimes its not actually a mistake, its just that kind of thing that happens -- I dont look at it as incompetence.Its a growing experience for us because we have learned a lot from the issues that have happened, and hopefully we wont have those issues again. I guess Im the test mouse that has tested all of these issues, because obviously none of the other Mercedes engines has had the problems Ive had.

Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Randall Cobb bulked up. Eddie Lacy slimmed down.And now that Jordy Nelson is back from a knee injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a full supporting cast again in Green Bay. The Packers have the pieces to make another Super Bowl run.You look at our offense and were built in a way to have a great year, Cobb said. Its just going out there and proving it. Going out there and executing to expectations.That didnt happen last season, when the Packers uncharacteristically struggled with the ball. Their four-year reign as NFC North champions came to an end.Green Bay still won a wild-card game and took Arizona to overtime on the road before losing in the NFC divisional round.After the season, Rodgers had minor knee surgery. Rodgers, who turns 33 in December, also altered his diet as he tweaked his offseason conditioning routine.Nelson only returned with a couple of weeks left in camp after what was described as a minor issue with his left knee; he tore the ACL in his right knee in preseason a year ago.Ive been giving him a lot of opportunities to work on a couple things, but he looks good, Rodgers said.So has tight end Jared Cook, an offseason free-agent signee from the Rams. The 6-foot-5 Cook has shown the potential to give the offense the big, athletic playmaking target that the Packers havent had since Jermichael Finley in 2013.If things go as planned, Nelson would give Rodgers the missing deep threat, while Cook and tight end Richard Rodgers would offer big targets over the middle. Also, one or more the Packers corps of young receivers behind Nelson and Cobb would take steps forward in their developments.The always tough Cobb, who added bulk but didnt appear to lose any quickness, would make catches in traffic. Lacy and James Starks would provide a one-two punch at running back, while the offensive line would stay healthy and keeps Rodgers upright.I dont think theres a cap or a limit you can put on it, Cook said about the possibilities for the offense. Endless, it really is.Here are some other things to watch with the Packers:SACK HAPPY: Clay Matthews is eager to move on now that the NFL has cleared him and fellow pass-rusher Julius Peppers in a performance-enhancing drug probe. The long-haired linebacker is headed back to the outside to rush the quarterback after spending much of the previous two seasons shooring up the run defense in the middle.dddddddddddd.Obviously, not happy with the entire situation and how it played out, but ultimately its in the rear-view mirror now, Matthews said about the PED probe after the Packers 17-7 loss to Kansas City in their final preseason game. We can focus on football.MIDDLE MEN: Matthews move means a new look again at inside linebacker, a position that has been a trouble spot in recent seasons without Matthews. Coach Mike McCarthy looks like hell start second-year player Jake Ryan and rookie Blake Martinez in the middle of the base 3-4 scheme. Martinez, a fourth-round pick out of Stanford, has been studying up on the playbook.ON THE LINE: Veteran starters Mike Daniels and Letroy Guion figure to see a lot of snaps at the physically demanding position to start the season. Depth on the defensive front will be thinned out because of the NFLs four-game suspension of emerging third-year player Mike Pennel for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. First-round draft pick Kenny Clarks practice time in camp has been limited because of a back injury.ON THE LINE, PART 2: J.C. Tretter is the new center on offense with two-year starter Corey Linsley maligned by a hamstring injury. Tretter has been a versatile backup for the Packers the past three seasons, so there is little concern about how hell mesh with Rodgers and the rest of the line. But the Packers made a surprise move on roster cut-down day when they released longtime starter Josh Sitton. There were a few nervous moments in the backfield for Rodgers last year behind a banged-up offensive line. Now, the line will start the year with new starters at two interior positions.SECONDARY MATTERS: The defensive backfield has turned into a strength with the drafting of safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, and defensive backs Damarious Randall and Quentin Rollins the past few years. Sam Shields is one the NFCs top cornerbacks, and Micah Hyde is a jack-of-all-trades. Safety Morgan Burnett had a back injury in camp, though coaches think be ready for the Sept. 11 opener against Jacksonville.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
