With concerns over whether a significant increase in downforce levels will hinder the spectacle of Formula One, several members of the paddock are dreading the 2017 regulation changes.

But Fernando Alonso is excited about the opportunities they will bring, with the two-time world champion suggesting the new rules will offer F1 a chance to regain its popularity, allow his McLaren-Honda team to realise their potential and help him to decide his future in the sport.

2017 is also likely to be an important year of the career of Pastor Maldonado, who is hoping to return to F1 after losing his seat at Renault in February.

The Venezuelan recently revealed he is holding discussions with a number of teams over a potential comeback and has expressed his confidence that he will find a place on the 2017 grid, while admitting he is working on a backup plan.

A potential destination for Maldonado could be Sauber, who have struggled financially for several years and have been forced to manage current drivers Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr following the pair's clash in the Monaco Grand Prix.

After a promising debut campaign, Nasr has made a disappointing start to 2016 and has admitted he may seek a change of scenery for next season.

Nasr's performances in the early months of this season have probably hurt his chances of securing a return to Williams, where he held a reserve-driver role two years ago.

The British team have generally struggled at slow-speed venues since Nasr made five free-practice appearances in 2014, but head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley has rejected the idea that Williams need to alter their design philosophy.

Closing our latest roundup is Christian Horner, who has explained why Red Bull have exceeded expectations over the opening six races.
