SPIELBERG, Austria -- Daniel Ricciardo says Red Bulls return to form this year has reassured him that he is in a team capable of winning titles in the future.Ricciardo joined the senior Red Bull team in 2014 after it has won four consecutive titles with Sebastian Vettel. However, the change in engine regulations saw the team struggled with an uncompetitive Renault power unit, and despite three wins, Ricciardo finished a distant third in the drivers championship.Red Bulls decline continued in 2015 and the team failed to win a race for the first time in six years, with Ricciardo even further adrift in eighth place in the final championship standings. However, a win for the team at the Spanish Grand Prix and the first pole position of his career in Monaco has convinced Ricciardo Red Bull is the right team to be in for the future.Its massive, he said. Obviously for me as a driver but for everyone in the team, you dont see anyone leaving, weve still got a very good unit of aerodynamicists and engineers, so thats positive as well. I guess when people start looking [elsewhere] its like OK, theyre probably losing a bit of faith, but everyone is staying.The likes of Adrian [Newey] and that, he still has a bit of time on his contract, so thats good and you are starting to see it work now. Next year is going to be very interesting and hopefully it swings towards our favour. So its nice. This time a year ago it was not looking as positive, thats for sure, but now its turned around which is good.Asked if he had questioned his future at the team after 2015, Ricciardo added: Sure, you do, you think long term as well. 14 was a step down from where the team was in 13, and then the first few races, even half a season, of 15 was quite a significant step down. I dont think we were close to the podium in the first few races at all.Then it was if this trend continues, whats it going to be like in 2016 and beyond that? So sure it does cross your mind, I think its natural. But I was very impressed with how, within the season, they turned it around -- between Silverstone and Budapest it was like bang and then we then showed the pace in some races from there. So that was good for everyone, I think we all needed it.Weve kicked off this year, its still been a little bit up and down but I know for a fact the car is better than last year, and were finding more with the engine. Thats all you can ask for, as long as you feel improvements you know youre going in the right direction.I can feel the chassis is working and doing more of what I want it to do, so thats positive, and then obviously it means that the aerodynamicists and everything are on to something ... So then you just keep feeding them feedback and hopefully it keeps pushing in that direction, which is a better race car.2017 will see an overhaul of Formula Ones technical regulations, with the emphasis shifting back towards Red Bulls forte of aerodynamics. Asked if it could play into his teams favour, Ricciardo said: Yeah, I hope so. I hope it means my neck has to double in size! I hope all these things add up and work in that direction. Lets see.Apparently some of the simulations are showing the cars are going to be a lot quicker, the corner speeds, like Barcelona Turn 3 and 9 could be full again like they were a few years ago so that could be quite tasty for us. And mean a lot more work, which is good! I think its fun. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Benjamin-Watson-Jersey/ . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Ray-Lewis-Jersey/ .

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- The FedEx Cup is all about the $10 million bonus at the end of the four playoff events.For a dozen or so Americans, the only cup that matters now is one that doesnt pay a dime.The Ryder Cup couldnt be ignored Thursday.Patrick Reed shared the lead after the opening round at the Barclays. Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Kevin Chappell were among those one shot behind. All four of them are very much in the mix to make the U.S. team, with qualifying for the top eight spots ending after this week.Of course its on my mind, Reed said after his 5-under 66 gave him a share of the lead with Martin Laird.Its easy to forget about the FedEx Cup and its big bonus because there are still 15 rounds left to reach that point. The opening day at Bethpage Black, one of the toughest on the PGA Tour schedule, was just trying to beat the wind and stay in the game.LEADERS: Reed had a good laugh at his own expense on Tuesday when he was asked to bang the gavel for the ceremonial bell closing at the New York Stock Exchange. Dressed in a blue suit with an American tie, he banged once, twice ... and on the third try, he broke the gavel.The only thing he broke Thursday was par.Reed opened with 10 pars, a strong feat considering he started on the tougher back nine, and then ran off three birdies and an eagle for a 66.Martin Laird also had a clean card, with four birdies on the front nine and a shot out of the rough to the elevated green on the 16th to 6 feet for his fifth birdie. Hes not worried about the Ryder Cup. He is No. 89 in the FedEx Cup, so the first order of business was to be among the top 100 to advance to next week.RYDER RAMIFICATIONS: Fowler looked like a shoo-in to be on the Ryder Cup team when he started the year in great form. But missing the cut in two majors and not doing much in the other two havent helped. He is No. 12 and would need at least a two-way tie for fourth this week to have any chance.Opening with a 67 was a good start.Thats the No. 1 priority coming into the year, Fowler said. Id say thats always one of the main goals coming into a Ryder Cup year. Even in the off year, youre thiinking about it.dddddddddddd That was the whole reason playing last week, trying to get more points. It would be nice to have a chance to make that team without having to get picked.J.B. Holmes was at No. 8 until Reed passed him last week. Holmes moved into position with his third-place finish at the British Open, but he has been pressing since then and has missed his last three cuts. The big hitter spent two hours with the shortest club in the bag -- his putter -- earlier this week, and it paid off.As for Chappell? Depending on however else does, he probably has to win to make the team.BETHPAGE: The Black is a big ball park, the start of a playoff series that favors the big hitters -- the TPC Boston next week, Crooked Stick in Indiana after that, and then East Lake. That also was the rotation in 2012, and it would have seemed to put the medium hitters at a disadvantage.Or maybe not. Brandt Snedeker won the FedEx Cup in 2012.EARLY EXITS: British Open champion Henrik Stenson had planned to skip one of the FedEx Cup playoff events because of a busy schedule at the end of the year, including his trip to Rio for a silver medal in golf.He made it through one round at The Barclays with a 74 and enough discomfort in his right knee that he withdrew. Stenson is at No. 14 in the FedEx Cup and likely will fall out of the top 20 at the end of the week.Brett Stegmaier also withdrew with a wrist injury through nine holes. He was at No. 101, and with the top 100 advancing, his season is over.THE CUT: Making it to the weekend at The Barclays is one of the most important cuts of the year, particularly because of the playoff format. Anyone beyond the top 100 has no chance of extending the season. Anyone just inside the top 100 probably wont stay there if they miss the cut.Scott Brown was a good example. He is at No. 81 and opened with a 10-over 81. He was projected to fall to No. 100. That could change. A year ago, the highest-ranked player to get eliminated was Padraig Harrington at No. 87.
