radio rules are only talked about in the sport because the on-track racing is
not exciting enough.The last two races in Austria and Silverstone have sparked a
debate about track limits, with new kerbs installed at the Red Bull Ring and
several qualifying times deleted at Silverstone for drivers gaining an advantage
off track. This weekend in Hungary, electronic sensors have been fitted on the
outsides of Turns 4 and 8 to detect when drivers run wide, allowing race control
to monitor the situation more closely.But Alonso says such debates are only a
talking point in F1 because the on-track action is not enough of a talking
point.I think there have been some -- not polemics -- but some debates here and
there with the track limits, he said. Its normal when it is a very media-driven
sport.I think it [exceeding track limits] happened in all the races in motor
sport, sometimes I see it in touring cars or DTM or MotoGP and they are all over
the place or they cut the last chicane and they win and are celebrating with no
investigation after the race, nothing.Here [in F1] everything is a mountain,
even small things. Its part of the sport and probably something Formula One
wants, to keep people talking. Now that the show is not very good, its good to
have some polemics around the races.But Alonso does not blame the dominance of
Mercedes for the supposed decline in interest.I dont think that there being one
team dominant [is the problem], it has always been like this in a way. But the
show was good enough and now it is not good enough for whatever reason --
because the cars are too slow, too heavy or the noise is not good or the prices
are too high or whatever.Whatever it is, I dont know, its not the same and its
something obvious. When you see some regulations changed or some polemics or
track limits or radio restrictions, sometimes I think they have made this to
tale about something between races, because it makes no sense.Alonso believes
less regulation rather than more is the key to making the sport exciting again.I
think it needs a little bit more freedom for the teams, the drivers -- relaxing
a little bit everything will be good, like it always used to be in F1. I think
the teams had the possibility to choose the weight distribution, to choose their
own cambers and tyre pressures, their own philosophy of rear wing or even six
wheels on a car!Now if you painted all the cars black you would not know which
team built which car. The cars look similar, but just different colours because
the rules are quite strict. We need to make the car like this, with this width,
this height and everything. It is a little bit strange.Its the same for the
drivers -- if we had a little bit more freedom to race and less penalties. We
have to do the same thing at the same time at the same hour and if you dont do
one of these things you have to go to the stewards and you will have a penalty -
a time penalty, a reprimand, points ... it doesnt matter if you are five minutes
late to the briefing or if you go five minutes late to the autograph session.
You are allowed to breathe and not much more.

last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs
211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition
of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the

minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under
