SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS -- Nico Rosberg kicked off his Belgian Grand Prix in fine style, topping Lewis Hamilton by 0.7s and setting his fastest lap with the Halo on his car.Rosberg was one of four drivers to test the Halo device in the morning and went out on the super-soft compound, the quickest tyre available this weekend. The 1:48.348 he set remained the benchmark for the rest of the session, with Hamilton finishing 0.7s down despite running his own super-soft lap without the Halo on his car.Both Mercedes drivers started the session with new power units, meaning Hamilton has now used turbochargers and six MGU-Hs this year and will incur a 15-place grid penalty for Sundays race as a result. If Mercedes opts to use more components over the course of the weekend to stockpile them for the rest of the season, the grid penalty may still increase and force him to start from the back of the grid.?Rosberg was joined in the Halo test by Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo, Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz and Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg. Despite its rejection for next year, the FIA is determined to carry out extensive research of the Halo ahead of a planned implementation in 2018.Kimi Raikkonen finished third, less than 0.1s down on Hamilton despite his fastest time being set on the soft compound. Sergio Perez was the surprise of the session, splitting the Ferrari drivers for fourth position, finishing half a second up on Sebastian Vettel. Hulkenberg looked pacey in the other Force India, finishing in sixth. Daniel Ricciardo finished seventh for Red Bull ahead of Williams driver Valtteri Bottas and teammate Max Verstappen. Red Bull will certainly hope to improve on seventh and ninth later in the weekend. Esteban Gutierrez rounded off the top ten despite several complaints about his brakes during the session.Romain Grosjean finished 11th in the other Haas. The French driver appeared to be struggling with his car, running wide late in the session. Felipe Massa finished 12th for Williams, ahead of Marcus Ericsson, running a Sauber with a raft of new upgrades which the team has finally introduced after its recent takeover. Carlos Sainz finished 14th, splitting Ericsson and his Sauber teammate Felipe Nasr.Manor new boy Esteban Ocon finished an impressive 16th in a session which saw him overshoot his pit box on entry. The Frenchman finished the session over a second clear of teammate Pascal Wehrlein, who set his time on a harder compound and finished behind Daniil Kvyat and Jenson Button in 19th in a frustrating morning for McLaren. Renault drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer took the next two positions, with the latter complaining of a loss of power in the second half of the session. Fernando Alonsos morning lasted for just three laps, with a water leak curtailing his running -- a disappointing start with Hondas upgraded power unit and the fact the Spaniard came into the weekend hoping to spring a surprise on some of McLarens nearest rivals.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Western Michigan came to Illinois Saturday as three-point favorites to pick up its second win in three weeks over a Big Ten team.Maybe that line should have been a little bigger.The Broncos (3-0) knocked off Illinois 34-10, two weeks after beating Northwestern on the road, 22-21.Western Michigan looked the part of a Big Ten team for much of the game Saturday, pushing the Illini (1-2) around the field. The Broncos held Illinois to 3 yards rushing while they piled up 287 yards on 54 carries.Sophomore running back Jamauri Bogan led Western Michigan with 189 yards on 24 carries, including a pair of long touchdowns.Bogan now has 425 yards -- 6.8 a carry -- and four touchdowns. He praised an offensive line that dominated the Illini defensive line, considered the strength of the Illinois team.Line came to play, he said. Its always the guys around me that allow things to happen when we play good football games.Broncos coach P.J. Fleck celebrated the win with fans who made the trip and said his team was never overwhelmed by the idea of facing another Big Ten team.They never flinched; they werent going to be intimidated, he said, while trying to play down the significance of beating Illinois on the road. Its no bigger or less than any other win.Western Michigan opened up a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter and finished the afternoon with 437 yards of offense.While Western Michigan shoved Illinois down the field, the Illini could barely sustain a drive. Unable to run, their only touchdown came on a trick play, a reverse flea flicker that ended with quarterback Wes Lunt hitting tight end Ainslee Johnson deep down the right sideline to cut the Western Michigan lead to 21-7 midway through the second quarter.Talking about a fourth-and-1 stop by the Broncos in the first half, Illinois coach Lovie Smith summed up the Illinis afternoon.They beat us up front, he said. We knew it was going to be about our line. They know were running, and of course we are running. Now, whos a better man?The two wins over Big Ten teams in a season is a first for Western Michigan, and just the fourth time a Mid-American Conference team has two wins over Big Ten opposition in one season.THE TAKEAWAYWESTERN MICHIGAN: The Broncos win at Northwestern was a squeaker, requiring a late touchdown and some defensive herroics.dddddddddddd The win at Illinois was domination. Western Michigan ran the ball right at Illinois and the Illini couldnt do much about it.ILLINOIS: That feel-good period that followed Lovie Smiths hiring is over and the reality that he has taken over a mistake-prone team short on talent has set it in. Smith said from the beginning he wants to run the ball, but lead back KeShawn Vaughn had just 22 yards on eight carries Saturday. And while Lunt had 312 yards passing, he lacks a true go-to receiver. Smith also questioned his quarterbacks decision-making, particularly opting for short receivers in late-game, long-yardage situations.Theres probably four or five big plays we probably left out there that could have changed the game, Lunt agreed. I think I just need to do a better job when were down by that many points of forcing it down the field.KEEP THE BALLPlaying against an Illinois team that stresses the need to create turnovers, Western Michigan did not turn the ball over Saturday. That gives the Broncos a turnover-free start through their first three games. Opening up that three-touchdown lead helped. The Broncos stuck to the run much of the rest of the way. Quarterback Zach Terrell was just 9 of 13 for 150 yards.FUTILITYIf any one play could sum up the day for the Illini, their third-and-2 at the Bronco 3 early in the third quarter might be it. Lunt rolled left, had Justin Hardee open in the end zone with Reggie Corbin open in front of him at the 1. But with the ball headed toward Hardee, Corbin got his hands on it, and dropped it at the goal line. Illinois settled for a field goal, and remained two touchdowns behind at 24-10.UP NEXTWESTERN MICHIGAN: The Broncos are at home Saturday, against Georgia Southern, before they start MAC play at Central Michigan, which has its own win at a Power 5 school (Sept. 10 over Oklahoma State).ILLINOIS: Illinois gets a week off before heading to Nebraska to open the Big Ten season on Oct. 1. The Cornhuskers provided the 2015 highlight for the Illini, who came from behind to win their meeting in Champaign, 14-13.---Follow David Mercer on Twitter: (at)davidmercerAPAssociated Press college football coverage: collegefootball.ap.org Camo China NFL Jerseys Disocunt Football Jerseys Cheap NFL Gear Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
