Fernando Alonso frustrated by rule changes

Fernando Alonso has said he has "given up" trying Formula One's ever-changing rules, referring to yellow flag, radio, defensive driving, and 'track limits' rules which have been big talking points at Hockenheim.

When asked if he will be contributing to debates on the rule changes, the McLaren driver reportedly said: "No, I've already given up."


"In each race things change, so now I just say 'tell me what to do' and I do it, that's it," he said. "Today it's this, tomorrow it could be another so I will ask the team what I have to do each time."

"In every race things change: we're now going back to the (radio) rules of a year ago because they tried to make it super-spectacular but nothing changed or it was even worse," he continued. "When it's time for qualifying I will ask what I have to do so I don't waste my time."
