Mercedes is looking to be the first team in recent times to maintain an advantage through a major rule change when Formula Ones aerodynamic regulations get overhauled this winter.The last two seismic changes to F1s technical regulations have put an end to periods of dominance for certain teams and brought about new eras of dominance in the sport. Big changes to the aerodynamic regulations in 2009 saw 2008s title protagonists Ferrari and McLaren flounder and Brawn GP emerge as champions with an innovative double diffuser concept. Once the double diffuser concept was copied by rivals and eventually banned, Red Bull emerged as F1s dominant force and win four consecutive titles until the last big regulation change in 2014. At that point Mercedes unlocked the most performance from the current V6 turbo engine regulations and has dominated F1 ever since.Rivals are hoping the 2017 rule changes -- which will see wider cars, wider tyres and revised aerodynamic regulations -- will finally crack Mercedes F1 hegemony, but the world champions engineering director Aldo Costa sees an opportunity to buck the F1 trend.Of course, as you said, the regulation change will be pretty vast, on a lot of car aspects, he said in Monza. We know we have in front of us this big, big challenge. We would love to be the team that is breaking exactly that rule -- that with the new rules there are new leaders. We would like really to break this rule, but it is tough.Although the chassis regulations are changing dramatically, the engine regulations remain unchanged, meaning Mercedes should retain its power unit advantage. At the Belgian Grand Prix Mercedes brought another upgrade to its already class-leading power unit and, although it still has the scope to bring further updates under F1s engine token system, Costa said its V6 turbo is already a good basis for further development next year.We are evaluating further development [this year]. We are not yet finally decided on what to do, but we are working hard to find new items to develop for this year, with an engine that is anyway a very good base for next years championship.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Mikko Koivu did it all Sunday night for the Minnesota Wild.The 33-year-old Finn capped a fantastic game by scoring 3:11 into overtime as the Wild edged the Oilers 2-1 and improved to 12-1-0 in their last 13 visits to Edmonton.Mikko Koivu did so many things aside from scoring that winning goal, Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau said.He was 21-2 on the faceoffs. Ive never seen it that high, that kind of percentage for that kind of number youve taken. Im sure someone has been 26-1 at some point, but not too many people have done that. He was out there every time there was an important faceoff. I thought he controlled the game when he was out there. He was a true leader out there.Charlie Coyle also scored for the Wild (12-8-4), who snapped a three-game skid. Devan Dubnyk made 28 saves and improved to 7-1-0 against the Oilers, his first NHL team.Patrick Maroon had the goal for the Oilers (14-10-3), who had won two straight.For us to scratch and claw and get a point, I dont want to say were satisfied, but it was good to get that, Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said. I didnt think we had the energy level and polish that we needed to beat a good defensive team tonight.Edmonton got on the board less than 3 minutes into the game. Dubnyk stopped a point shot by Mark Fayne, but couldnt recover in time to prevent Maroon from scoring his eighth of the season on the rebound.The Wild tied it with 55 seconds to go in the opening period. Coyle was able to muscle in a rebound off Oilers goalie Jonaas Gustavssons skate for his ninth goal this season.ddddddddddddThe shots were tied 23-all after a scoreless second. The best opportunity belonged to Minnesotas Zach Parise, who clanged a shot off the post.The Oilers got a bit of a scare with 6 1/2 minutes remaining in the second when captain and NHL leading scorer Connor McDavid was removed from the game by league concussion spotters after hitting his chin on the ice following a trip by Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon.McDavid, however, returned for the start of a scoreless third.I was pretty shocked, to be honest, McDavid said of his removal.I hit my mouth on the ice. You reach up and grab your mouth when you get hit in the mouth; its a pretty normal thing. Obviously the spotter thought he knew how I was feeling. He pulled me off. A (rotten) time of the game, too.Minnesota nearly scored midway through overtime, but a review confirmed the whistle had blown before the puck was pushed across the line in a scrum. Soon afterward, Koivu converted on a backhand.Game notes It was the first of three meetings this season between the teams. They play again Friday in Minnesota. ... Gustavsson, who stopped 31 shots, made his third start of the season in net for the Oilers. Cam Talbot has made 24 starts.UP NEXTThe Wild complete a five-game trip in Toronto on Wednesday.The Oilers begin a three-game road swing in Buffalo on Tuesday.
