goosebumps, because going over there, wearing the stars and strip

Lewis Hamilton is setting his sights on a top ten finish at the Belgian Grand Prix in the belief that the podium will be out of reach in a normal race without any safety cars or stoppages.Hamilton is due to start from the back row of the grid at the Belgian Grand Prix after incurring a 55-place grid penalty over the course of the weekend for multiple engine changes. With title rival Nico Rosberg starting from pole position, Hamilton faces a battle through the field to try to minimise the damage to his 19-point championship lead on Sunday.Its going to be a very, very hard race and if I had a choice of tracks where you had to start dead last and overtake, this is definitely not in the top three for me as an overtaking circuit, he said. While you can have a good tow up Eau Rouge, with it being this hot its going to be hard to follow and being in the traffic its going to be very unlikely that I get to my [pit] stop target or go longer than the guys that are in front of me.So I envisage tomorrow is going to be hard to get into the top ten with the tyres the way they are, but I hope that I prove myself wrong and I am pleasantly surprised! I hope to be able to take the experiences that we have had over the years, and me as a racing driver, take those things into consideration and apply myself tomorrow and be better and stronger. I cant predict what is going to happen tomorrow, but I hope its going to be a clean race. Time will tell.Hamiltons concerns about tyre life are based on the levels of performance degradation all drivers have been experiencing in the hot conditions at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend. The unusually high temperatures combined with Pirellis high tyre pressure prescriptions -- a precautionary measure following two blowouts at Spa last year -- have resulted in the tyres overheating and blistering, which in turn reduces their performance life considerably.The last time Hamilton started at the back of the grid -- in China -- he fought back to seventh place, but he suspects Spa will present an even tougher challenge, especially with the added difficulty of managing tyre temperatures and pressures while racing in traffic.Its completely different to China. In China we didnt have failures the previous year and they [Pirelli] didnt put the pressures up to a ridiculous number. That is the case here, they had the failures last year and then there was the failures this year, so they put the pressures up to 23 or 24 PSI or whatever it is, which is so high.Ive never seen pressures like that in my whole racing career, so that doesnt help. Plus, its so hot that with those pressures we will get blisters and in China the tyres went a lot longer and it was cooler, so the tyres behaved more like normal tyres. But here there was not really much you could do to stop the tyres from blistering and overheating, so its definitely a much harder race than China ever was.Although Hamiltons strategy options are likely to depend on how well he is able to manage the tyres, he has the clear cut option of starting the race from the pit lane or the back row of the grid. Mercedes is set to analyse that decision ahead of Sundays race, but Hamilton is already firmly against the idea of not starting on the grid.I never like to start from the pit lane. It means you have to wait for them to come past the pit lane exit, and by the time I get round the corner they will be halfway down the hill and the last car will almost be going into Eau Rouge, and it means I then have to catch up.There is the possibility of me crashing in Turn 1 and you avoid that [with a pit lane start], but there is also the possibility that theres not and then I just give up eight or seven seconds or whatever it is. I cant afford to lose any time, so my plan is to start on the grid. Air Max Plus On Sale .

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The question stumped Patrick Reed and he asked for it to be repeated.Or maybe he was simply stunned that after shooting a second-round 65 to move into contention Friday at the PGA Championship, someone was asking him about his cockiness.Reeds self-assurance is well known throughout golf. Why it would be a topic following several enthusiastic answers about his upcoming Olympic participation, and some insightful thoughts on how Baltusrol played in the second round, was somewhat difficult to fathom.But Reed scrambled -- something not required much in his seven-birdie performance that placed him at 5-under 135.Asked about believing in himself as a top-three player, Reed seemed somewhat amused.I appreciate you saying top three, because I said top five, he said. And I appreciate you calling me cocky, as well. I dont really know how to take that one.You have to believe in yourself. If there was not a mic around and you went out and asked every single guy, and if they knew you werent media and ... asked every single guy where do you want to be, they are going to say No. 1 in the world. And if they dont, then those guys also arent winning every week or even having a chance to win golf tournaments because they are not believing in themselves.But really at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, yeah, I believe in myself. I play golf. I am who I am. ... Im not writing the articles. It comes down to how you all portray me, not how I portray myself, because I didnt write the article. Theres been some I fixed and some that are true and I like the articles.But at the end of the day, all I can do is play golf and be who I am, and hopefully Ill write the good ones.Reed has written an impressive story since becoming a PGA Tour regular in 2013. Hes won four times, including becoming the youngest player to take a World Golf Championship by winning at Doral in 2014. He also won the 2015 Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. His 3-0-1 showing at the 2014 Ryder Cup was the strongest and most forceful of any American.Yet because he hasnt won this year -- he has ttwo runner-up finishes and ranks 14th in the world -- his confident attitude gets questioned.ddddddddddddReed also was asked why he hadnt elevated his game to match guys your age?Im playing great, I have a lot of top-10s, he responded emphatically. Ive just had my best finish at a major so far (tied for 12th at the British Open) and Ive only been on the tour for three years. Everyone acts like Ive been on tour for 15, 20 years. Im only 25.Reed always brightens when asked about representing his country. He actively sought a spot on the U.S. team for Rio, something he got when Dustin Johnson pulled out. Reed was in the middle of a round at the Scottish Open, where he finished tied for 10th, when Johnson withdrew.After discussing the options with his team, Reed and his wife, Justine, basically said, `Lets go.I cant wait, he said. Its one of those things that just talking about it kind of gives me goosebumps, because going over there, wearing the stars and stripes, playing again, its going to be great.His 65 Friday was the best morning round and matched Jimmy Walkers opening score. Reed shot it after an overnight change of driver. In his first round, Reed was happy with his iron play and his putting.But I couldnt keep a driver on the planet, he said. So I switched to my old driver and went and hit the driver better. The difference between a top-10 and a win out on tour is if you hit fairways, youll hit greens, and those 50-50 putts, youre always on the right side of them.One putt that definitely wasnt a 50-50 proposition came on the ninth, Reeds final hole. He hit a 6-iron to the par-3, but couldnt tell how close it was to the hole.So I just thought it might have been on the green because not a single person clapped, he said with a chuckle. So I walk up there and I realize its a foot (from the pin). I was just like, OK, I guess the rest of the field has been hitting it inside a foot all day. Didnt get a single clap, and its in there tight. ' ' '
