The prospect of 2016 being Mercedes last year of dominance ahead of major rule changes next season adds extra emphasis to the title battle, according to Lewis Hamilton.Hamilton is in a head-to-head fight with teammate Nico Rosberg for the 2016 title and took the lead in the championship for the first time ahead at the Hungarian Grand Prix last month. Mercedes has dominated the current set of regulations since 2014, with Hamilton twice beating Rosberg to the title, but the prospect of rival teams challenging Mercedes hegemony under new aerodynamic regulations in 2017 adds an extra element to this years battle for Hamilton.That definitely is a very good possibility and that puts even more emphasis on makings sure that we utilise this [chance], Hamilton said. If it is the last year [of Mercedes dominance] I want to make sure that I maximise on it. So theres no shortcuts and theres no rest really during the year, but youve got to enjoy it as well.Its my 31st year in my life but its my tenth year in F1. And Im enjoying driving more than ever so its really important to enjoy it because its going quick. My tenth season and Ive got six more maybe or whatever it is and then Im gone and that will go quick, because this 10 has really felt like its gone quick, so Im going to make sure I enjoy it.Next year is going to be interesting, I think weve got a great team and well continue it, but its a race of who started [the 2017 project] first or maybe someone started earlier and hasnt done a good enough job. Hopefully weve started in similar times and I hope we are still in the battle, Im sure we will be.Hamilton struggled with a series of reliability issues at the start of his 2016 campaign, allowing Rosberg to build a 43-point lead by the fifth round in Spain. Since then, Hamilton has scored six wins in seven races and turned that deficit into 19-point lead over his teammate. Given the issues he faced earlier in the season, Hamilton says a 2016 title victory would come with extra satisfaction.I think it will. I think for me, all race wins, all results, feel different for a different reason, surprisingly. Youve had a different start, youve felt different on that day. Sometimes its been easier and sometimes its been harder, sometimes youve felt more stress, sometimes youve felt fitter -- all these different things.It always feels new and every championship Ive won I seem to enjoy it more and more and more and winning those championships has always been a different journey, so this one feels like a completely new journey for me and I think if I get to where I want to be at the end of this journey then for sure its going to feel as good if not greater than ever before.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Getting Dirk Nowitzki back on the court couldnt come at a better time for Dallas. Without him in the lineup, the Mavericks have struggled to get enough done on offense to offset their defensive shortcomings.Nowitzki has been sidelined since the teams season-opening 130-121 loss to the Indiana Pacers. He has been nursing a sore Achilles tendon and dealing with a stomach ailment. Without the veteran forward, Dallas (0-3) is one of six NBA teams that still hasnt won this season.The latest loss for the Mavericks was perhaps the most painful. Dallas fell 93-92 to Houston on a free throw from James Harden with 0.1 second left after shooting just 38.1 percent (32-of-84). Solving these sudden offensive woes has become top priority.We have to keep finding ways, guard Wesley Matthews said. Our margin for error is slim, like most NBA teams.Nowitzki plans to return to the starting lineup when the Mavericks face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Having him back on the floor for a tough road game could give Dallas a major boost.I feel better, Nowitzki told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Tuesday. Its been obviously a rough few days.Nowitzki has a knack for unleashing offensive fireworks against Utah. In the three games last season, Nowitzki averaged 19.3 points on 55.3 percent shooting.Utah (2-2) should be better prepared for what Dallas can do this season. The Jazz handed San Antonio its first loss of the season on Tuesday night, downing the Spurs 106-91 behind 22 points and seven assists from veteran point guard George Hill. They got it done on both ends of the court.dddddddddddd San Antonio shot just 43.4 percent (33 of 76) while the Jazz made 48.4 percent (15-of-31) of their 3-pointers.Defense has been Utahs bread and butter early in the season. The Jazz have allowed just 89.3 points per game over their last three contests. Utah has held opponents under 90 points in 59 games dating to the start of the 2014-15 season -- the most of any NBA team.Offensively, the Jazz seemed to have figured things out. They hit a bump with a terrible shooting performance against the Clippers on Sunday, but bounced back in style against the Spurs two days later. Hill is a big reason behind it.In his first four games with the Jazz, Hill is averaging 20.5 points and 4.8 assists. He is also playing mistake-free basketball. Hill had zero turnovers against San Antonio and made several big baskets in the fourth quarter when Utah needed them to pull away.Jazz coach Quin Snyder said he has encouraged Hill to go full throttle on offense.Hes got a lot of pride in his defense, Snyder said after the teams home opener last Friday. We have talked about George being aggressive offensively. So I think the pride defensively and aggressiveness is what helps make him.Dallas eliminated Utah from the playoffs in its most recent trip to Salt Lake City in April. The Mavericks downed the Jazz 102-91 behind 22 points and 11 rebounds from Nowitzki, 23 points from Deron Williams and 20 points from Matthews. ' ' '
