Too early to talk about rule changes, insists Alonso

FERNANDO ALONSO has accused his Formula One rivals of making “hot-headed comments” given the criticism that followed the season-opener in Bahrain.

The likes of Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber all spoke about the difficulty of overtaking after the race in Sakhir in light of the new regulations for this year.

A number of team principals such as McLaren’s Martin Whitmarsh and Christian Horner at Red Bull Racing even suggested there should be two mandatory stops in a race to help spice up the show.
