A capsule look at the previous eight British Open championships held at Royal Troon:Year: 1923Winner: Arthur HaversRunner-up: Walter HagenWinning score: 295Prize money: 75 poundsRecap: Only 222 players entered the first British Open held at Troon. With several top Americans trying to track him down, 20-year-old Arthur Havers shot 73 in the third round to take a one-shot lead, and then closed with a 76 to hold off defending champion Walter Hagen. Gene Sarazen, the reigning U.S. Open champion, failed to qualify by a single shot.---Year: 1950Winner: Bobby LockeRunner-up: Robert de VicenzoWinning score: 279Prize money: 300 poundsRecap: Bobby Locke became the first back-to-back winner of the British Open since Walter Hagen in 1929. Tied for the lead going into the final round, Locke closed with a 68 for a two-shot victory over Roberto de Vicenzo. His winning score of 279 was the lowest in Open history at the time. This also is the year the Postage Stamp eighth hole earned its fearsome reputation. Herman Tissies, a German amateur, was bunkered left of the green. It took him five shots to get out -- to a bunker on the right side of the green. He eventually holed out for a 15.---Year: 1962Winner: Arnold PalmerRunner-up: Kel NagleWinning score: 276Prize money: 1,400 poundsRecap: Arnold Palmer won his second straight Open in dominant fashion, building a two-shot lead after 36 holes and extending it by two shots each of the final two days. He wound up with a six-shot victory over Kel Nagle, and the Open scoring record of 276. He also became the first American to win consecutive claret jugs since Walter Hagen. This also was the British Open debut of Jack Nicklaus, and it was far from memorable. He opened with an 80, closed with a 79 and took a 10 on the 11th hole.---Year: 1973Winner: Tom WeiskopfRunner-up: Johnny Miller, Neil ColesWinning score: 276Prize money: 5,500 poundsRecap: Tom Weiskopf was the hottest player in golf, with three victories in his previous six tournaments and nothing worse than a tie for fifth. He carried that game to his first and only major title, opening with a 68 and leading wire-to-wire for a three-shot victory over Johnny Miller and Neil Coles. In his return to Troon, Jack Nicklaus closed with a 65 but came up four strokes shy. After failing to qualify 50 years earlier, Gene Sarazen returned and played the Postage Stamp in three shots over two rounds -- an ace in the first round, a birdie from the bunker in the second.---Year: 1982Winner: Tom WatsonRunner-up: Nick Price, Peter OosterhuisWinning score: 284Prize money: 32,000 poundsRecap: Tom Watson was the strong favorite after winning the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach with his dramatic chip-in on the 17th. He was seven shots behind Bobby Clampett going into the weekend, shot 74 in windy conditions to get within three shots, and then surged past a fading Nick Price and Peter Oosterhuis to win by one shot. He became only the fifth player to win the U.S. Open and the British Open in the same year.---Year: 1989Winner: Mark CalcavecchiaRunner-up: Greg Norman, Wayne GradyWinning score: 275 (playoff)Prize money: 80,000 poundsRecap: Mark Calcavecchia won his only major, and Greg Norman suffered another major setback. Norman birdied his first six holes and closed with a 64. Joining him in the playoff were Calcavecchia, who birdied the 18th hole for a 68, and Wayne Grady, who bogeyed the 17th and finished with a 71. Calcavecchia and Norman were tied going into the last of the four-hole playoff. Norman hit an enormous drive that wound up in the face of a fairway bunker. He hit into another bunker short of the green, and then went over the green. Calcavecchia had a 6-foot birdie putt to end a five-year drought for Americans winning the Open.---Year: 1997Winner: Justin LeonardRunner-up: Darren Clarke, Jesper ParnevikWinning score: 272Prize money: 250,000 poundsRecap: The final round shaped up as a duel between Jesper Parnevik and Darren Clarke. Five shots behind to start the final round, Justin Leonard was phenomenal with the putter and closed with a 65 for a two-shot victory. Clarke hit his tee shot on the beach at No. 2 for double bogey. Parnevik was still in control until he started dropping shots. Leonard surged ahead with a spectacular par save on the 15th and birdies on the next two. His 35-foot birdie on the 17th clinched the claret jug, the fifth straight time an American won the Open at Troon.---Year: 2004Winner: Todd HamiltonRunner-up: Ernie ElsWinning score: 274 (playoff)Prize money: 720,000 poundsRecap: Todd Hamilton went toe-to-toe with Ernie Els over the final 40 holes, the last four in a playoff. On the 18th hole in the playoff, the 38-year-old Hamilton used a hybrid to chip from 40 yards to within two feet to win by one shot. Els closed with a 68. He made birdies on the 16th and 17th holes in regulation but missed a 12-foot birdie for the victory. Hamilton closed with a 69. Phil Mickelson took the lead with eight holes to play and finished one shot out of a playoff. Hamilton became the sixth straight American to win at Royal Troon. Tandon Doss Jersey Store .

The team will have key personnel in attendance with team principal Christian Horner and drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat present to speak to the media about the season ahead.However, what wont be there is the 2016 car. Instead, the team will use an old car painted in their 2016 livery to show off their new design. This is likely to be the teams only launch event this year, with the former world champions expected to hit the track in Barcelona without an official photocall for the RB12 on February 22.Why launch an old car with a new look?Red Bull caused a stir last Febuary with a camouflage livery used to protect their cars design secrets. Using an old car means Red Bull can keep their new design under wraps and hidden from their rivals until testing. Aerodynamics is one of the teams strengths and they will be wary of giving away any potential secrets they have found over the winter. Instead, the pictures of the new livery that will be splashed across media outlets will be of a car that has already been heavily photographed. The team and their new sponsors will still receive publicity, but no aero or packaging secrets will have been disclosed.Is it normal for a team to be secretive about their design?Even in the days of spectacular, lavish launches, the car that would be pushed out onto the stage would never be the same as the one that hit the track for testing, or indeed the first race of the season.The basics of the car may have been there, and any dramatic changes to the shape would be obvvious, but the front wing would be simplified - as would the aero around the rear of the car.ddddddddddddThe same is true of the show cars put on stands at motorsport shows around the world. With millions spent chasing a fraction of a second in lap time, teams arent going to let anyone with a smartphone snap a close-up picture of their designs. So what will we learn next week?First and foremost we will see the teams on-track livery for 2016. It is likely to be significantly different from recent seasons with the loss of Infiniti branding from the sidepods and Tag Heuer branding replacing Renault. The team will also be launching a new range of team-wear and replica clothing for fans as they partner up with Puma.It will also be an opportunity for the media to quiz the team on their expectations for the forthcoming season and what we can expect from their engine after a difficult 2015.The first Barcelona test starts on Monday February 22 and the Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.
