Alonso warns about FIA changes

Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso has warned the FIA risks alienating fans of Formula One in the wake of sweeping regulation changes announced by world motorsport's governing body yesterday.

The FIA's World Motor Sport Council has ruled that from this season onwards the drivers' title will be decided by race wins rather than points, while in a separate move the FIA decreed that from 2010 teams would be given the option of adhering to a budget cap of £30m (€31.7m).
