Fernando Alonso is refusing to dwell on the fact it has been 10 years since he last won the Formula One championship, saying the anniversary is just a number.Saturday marks ten years since the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, where Alonso finished second to beat Michael Schumacher to his second championship for Renault. Alonso then moved to McLaren in 2007, missing out on a third straight world title by one point, before further near-misses for Ferrari in 2010 and 2012.Alonso switched to McLaren in 2015 but has endured two frustrating years away from the front end of the grid, though recent progress has led to encouragement the team can capitalise on next years big regulation changes. When asked about the anniversary in Austin, Alonso insisted his mind has been elsewhere.People keep telling me its the 10th anniversary of my second title but its not something Im thinking about, he said. Were so involved in what youre doing that you dont think about anything else. But when you see the photos of that day of course you feel happy and proud, but mainly with a lot of motivation to live something like that again.Alonso says the timeframe is irrelevant because his only focus is on being the best again in the future.It doesnt really matter its ten years. It could be five, seven or 12, its just a number, but what you want is to get closer to your goal that, in Formula One, has to be the goal to be the best.If youre playing a tennis match you also want to be the best, but Im competing here, in Formula One, and thats what Im trying to be -- the best and that means being world champion. Right now were far from that goal, because were not too competitive, but hopefully next year well get closer to that goal.Rock Ya-Sin Jersey .

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry! Very much enjoy your articles. A question from Game 4. After Chicago scored their fourth goal Tuukka Rask takes the puck and shoots it at the Blackhawks scrum while celebrating a goal. Isnt that an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty? I seem to remember in 2009 when the Canadiens played the Washington Capitals in the playoffs Washington scored a goal and Carey Price did the same thing. Price got a penalty for it. This was a turning point last night as there was no call, next shift Chicago takes a penalty, Boston scores a goal and gets right back in the game. Was that a missed call? Thanks, Chris Chris: An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for shooting a puck in the direction of an opponent is always a discretionary call. I would hope that before a referee felt the need to assess a penalty for this act (especially against a goalkeeper) certain conditions would have to be met. For it to be considered a dangerous play the velocity of the shot would have to cross a certain threshold. The accuracy of the shooter would also be taken into account as to if and where the puck struck an opponent. Ron Hextall is one goalie that comes to mind that had the ability to really rip a shot with pin-point accuracy along with the disposition to do so without batting a blocker! Another element that could come into play would be the reaction of the player or players that might take offence to the puck being sent in their direction. If a scrum were to develop as a result of the shot and other penalties were assessed then the Referee would most likely deem the perpetrator of the shot to be the instigator of any subsequent altercation and penalize him accordingly. We have seen an example of this when players take offence to an over-exuberant celebration of a goal scored against them such asa rifle shot gesture into the net. I saw none of these elements present and worthy of a penalty when Tuukka Rask sent a flea flicker toward tthe Hawk celebrants following their fourth goal scored by Marcus Kruger on the odd-man rush.dddddddddddd What I did see however was some justified frustration grab hold of Rask in this high scoring game that resulted from a lack of defensive support after he made an outstanding initial save on this play. Rask had to fully extend both legs in the splits on that first save following a nifty cross-crease deke by Kruger after he took the pass from Michael Frolic. Rasks full extension caused him to fall forward and he needed some help to clear the rebound. None was to be found from Zdeno Chara, the lone defender that dove in an attempt to block the pass from Frolic; from Brad Marchand who skated past the net to Rasks right; or from the hardworking Patrice Bergeron who utilized an uncharacteristic glide path from inside his blue line on the back-check to arrive a moment too late and stop Krugers second attempt from behind the goal line. After the puck entered the net Rask raised both hands to the TD Garden rafters in frustrated disbelief. Once Rask was back on his skates he cleared the puck from his crease with a flick in the direction of the Hawk celebration at the half-wall. In my judgment it would have been a huge overreaction if either Referee had assessed Rask an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Hextall passed the puck with much more authority than that token gesture by Rask! On the Radar Screen from Game 4: This series has already turned out to be a Classic! There were plenty of defensive mistakes made throughout Game 4 by both teams but you cant complain about it being boring. It was a very exciting contest. By and large the excellent Officiating I witnessed last night enhanced the product and the overall entertainment value that this game provided. Players were allowed to compete hard and on the edge yet were penalized when they crossed the line that had been set by Referees Wes McCauley and Dan OHalloran. No one should nit-pick their performance as they have raised the officiating bar for all remaining games. I offer a toot of the whistle for a job well done. ' ' '
