Amid a season packed with laughable Formula 1 rule implementations, and reversals thereof, double world champion Fernando Alonso has called for more consistency in the regulations that govern the sport at the highest level.
The season began with the embarrassing qualifying debacle which was thankfully ditched after two rounds, and more recently the relaxation of driver-to-engineer radio communication restrictions.
Alonso said, "Definitely it is not the normal way for our sport to keep changing rules. Most of the time we go back to what we had two weeks ago, two months ago, two years ago."
"So we just wait and listen to the engineers, the team, what we are allowed to do, what we are not allowed to do every session, every qualifying, every race and that has been more or less the same thing for the last three or four months, because they keep changing all the time."
"We are always in a loop and from a driver point of view, we just try to be on the side of all these changes because we don't make them and we don't have these decisions in our hands.
"Hopefully now we can find some consistency but, for us, it is not a problem because it is our job but for the fans and the viewers it would be nice to have some consistency," added Alonso.
