As the new breed of racers look to lay down their marker once again in 2016 the pressure is firmly on many established drivers, experienced minds and even former world champions to secure their seat for next year.After an off-season which saw only two teams - Manor and Renault - change their line-up, Formula 1 can expect a transfer frenzy at the end of the campaign.While Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel can already look forward to 2017 at Mercedes and Ferrari, team-mates Nico Rosberg and Kimi Raikkonen are just two of the current crop whose contracts expire before the expansive rule changes kick in. Jenson Buttons future at McLaren beyond this year is up in the air and although fellow former champion Fernando Alonso is in theory signed on for a further season, much of that depends on the progress of the Honda engine.Daniel Ricciardo is another who should have no shortage of suitors if he leaves Red Bull when his contract expires at the end of the season while Valtteri Bottas, heavily linked with Ferrari last summer, can expect more of the same speculation should he impress in the Williams again. Fernando Alonso and Jenson Buttons futures are up in the air Their respective contract talks and transfer dilemmas look likely to provide the main off-track talking points of the year as the drivers prepare to arrive in Melbourne to get back to business. Rarely does the sport head into its first grand prix weekend with so few new faces.Manor have brought two rookies onto the grid in Pascal Wehrlein and Ryo Haryanto. Renault, formerly Lotus, have signed Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer while Romain Grosjean has joined debutants Haas along with Esteban Gutierrez. The Frenchman is another with it all to prove.

Fast and easy online upgrade - click here With Ferrari powering Americas first team in F1, Grosjean made no secret that he sees his move as a great opportunity to earn a drive in the famous red in the future.For everyone working in motorsport - engineers, mechanics, drivers - its a dream team. That red colour is something special, Grosjean told Sky Sports News HQ upon being confirmed at Haas.It would be good in the future, but there are more steps behind that.Grosjean comfortably outperformed Pastor Maldonado last season and, while he has always been quick, the 29-year-old seems to have transformed his reputation from an unpredictable, often careless, driver to a steady set of hands behind the wheel. Romain Grosjean hopes to impress at Haas this year Come lights out at the Australian Grand Prix this Sunday, exclusively live on Sky Sports F1, Bottas, Ricciardo and Grosjean will be starting possibly the biggest season of their careers. But it is perhaps the form of an 18-year-old which the elite will focus more of their attention on.Max Verstappen will be eager to prove his many admirers right about his title-winning potential after an incredible first year at such a young age. Accompanied by Carlos Sainz, the Toro Rosso man took it to his far more experienced rivals in a breathtaking debut season. Australian GP on Sky Sports Full schedule and TV times As Sky F1 commentator David Croft puts it: If youre Toto Wolff, if youre Maurizio Arrivabene, there is only one name on your list for the medium and long-term future at the moment,There are no two ways about it: there is no other driver who they havent already got who would fit the bill.Depending on how Raikkonen performs this season and how he supports Vettels title charge, Ferrari will surely have Verstappen firmly in their sights. But what about Mercedes? Ferrari and Mercedes will keep track of Max Verstappen Rosberg will be more fired up than ever to claim his first world championship after Hamiltons dominance in 2014 and 2015, but as their sour relationship shows no sign of improving any time soon, the Silver Arrows may be in a position where one of their star drivers suddenly becomes expendable. If that happens, the German is surely the fall guy.Despite concerns over the intra-team balance of power Rosberg is not panicking, yet.Im sure there is going to be many more years to go here at Mercedes, he told Sky Sports News HQ last month.I feel comfortable here, I really enjoy being part of the team, weve achieved so much, and theres even more to achieve in the future.Rosberg evidently has the pace to compete with Hamilton but whether he can consistently be as fired up as he was towards the back of 2015 is another question entirely. When it comes to answering and stepping up this year when it really matters, he finds himself in esteemed company.The transfer market is ready and waiting.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky F1.

Then, complete silence as he attempted his lift.Three white lights clicked on, signaling it was good, and the crowd erupted in cheers again, this time even louder. A sea of yellow and green rose to its feet, chanting and waving Brazilian flags.But heres the thing: Farzin isnt Brazilian. Hes Iranian.Welcome to the 2016 Paralympics, where the residents of Rio de Janeiro have shown people from all across the world their Carioca spirit. Cariocas are the Rio natives, known for their warmth, friendliness and laid-back attitude.Before the games began a week ago, organizers from the International Paralympic Committee were just happy that -- after a furious ticket-selling campaign and a price drop to as low as about $3 per ticket -- the Rio games seemed likely to surpass sales of 1.7 million, moving this Paralympics into second place behind London in terms of spectators (2.7 million).But as of Wednesday, the IPC said sales were over the 2 million mark. The sports festival for people with disabilities ends Sunday.We have to generate energy (at the games), so therefore, we wanted to bring the public on board and have them provide energy, because in both games we started kind of with an obligation to sell more tickets, said Mario Andrada, spokesman for the local organizing committee.Its not just that people are coming out to Olympic Park on the edge of Rio. Its who is attending -- local Brazilian fans, many of them families and couples, enjoying a day out in a country where roughly a fifth of the population is below the poverty line.I wasnt able to take my family to the Olympics because it was too expensive, but we grabbed the chance to see the Paralympics because the price of the tickets was so much lower, said a 42-year-old Rio resident who oonly gave his name as Marco, attending the games with his wife and three daughters.ddddddddddddIm really glad to be part of this, especially being able to bring my whole family. Its a really unique moment and well probably never have this opportunity again.Once inside a venue, the Brazilians have been both gracious and enthusiastic.So, when Denmarks Ebbe Blichfeldt got lapped and finished last in his heat of a 5,000-meter wheelchair race last Friday, the crowd gave him a huge ovation down the final straightaway.Tharon Drake, a blind American swimmer who has won two silver medals in Rio, said the fans pumped up his performances.The atmosphere at this pool is outrageous. It is the best atmosphere I have ever been in, he said. You walk out to these guys, they dont care what country youre from. They just need a reason to start screaming and acting crazy, and I love it.Guilherme Vieira, 24, who was able to attend both the Olympics and the Paralympics, noticed the difference.The fans at the Paralympic Games have been a lot more intense. We Brazilians cheer for everyone, from every country because we want all of them to excel at their competitions, he said. Were so happy to see everyone from other countries and not everyone in the world is like that, but thats the Carioca spirit.Vieira explained it this way.The cheering from Brazilians is just what Brazilians do here and people from outside of Brazil that are here have to adapt to Brazilian culture, he said. I cheer for different countries because I dont like seeing anyone lose.---Nicole Barros is a journalism student at Penn State University.
