SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Fernando Alonso has been impressed by McLaren-Hondas progress in the past year, but says his main interest lies in what can be achieved in 2017 and how new regulations will change the feel of the cars.Alonsos contract with McLaren is due to expire at the end of 2017 and he has previously said his decision on whether to renew will be based on whether next years cars are more interesting to drive. Speaking on Thursday at Spa-Francorchamps, he said he is hoping the new regulations for 2017 will offer similar thrills to those he experienced in previous years of his career.Next year I finish my contract with McLaren -- the one that I have now -- so I have to make a decision if I can continue in Formula One or not. In the last couple of years -- in this turbo engine era -- I think the cars are a little bit different to drive, but I dont say if its better or worse.Everyone will have his opinion, but I have been lucky enough to drive 2003 cars, 2004 and 2005 ... even until 2009 the cars were, in my opinion, more extreme and more Formula One cars. Now when I see GP2 cars running three seconds away in FP1, it feels a bit sad. The cars are heavy, no grip, we save fuel, we save tyres, we save everything from lap one. Its a little bit against the instinct of the driver and next year is a big question mark.The regs and everything will change a little bit and if the cars are fun to drive and exciting to drive, I will probably stay longer and drive more years in Formula One, but if the cars are still giving me the feeling I had in the last couple of years I will stop. But it is not related to if you are competitive, you are either enjoying driving the car or not enjoying it and right now, in my opinion, the cars are not enjoyable. But thats probably because I drove older cars, and if you arrive now to Formula One these cars are probably very fast and very fun to drive, but not for me anymore.McLaren-Honda has made progress this year and arrives at Spa this weekend with a major engine upgrade.If you look at the team 12 months ago we were in a very different situation. We were starting last here using, I think, our ninth engine of the year here in Spa and we were lapped two times here last year, so definitely we have made a step of minutes, not even seconds, in total race time so we are in a much better position. We are enjoying it and the progress is looking optimistic, and for next year as well.We look forward to this weekend, we have some updates on the car, but we know that Spa and Monza will be some tricky races for us in terms of layout and characteristics of the circuits, but definitely we are enjoying our time now, seeing the progress, and we are hungry for more.But asked whether he thought McLaren should still be working on improving its 2016 car, he simply said: Well, I think we want to be world champions. So this year it is not anymore possible.Ernie Banks Cubs Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

Sometimes when I read you, I feel I know nothing about football. But there is one thing I know, the rules of the game. And I can only start with 11, until somebody tells me there is a change in that.Uniteds win ensured City, with a 3-1 victory at Swansea, couldnt pull farther away from Mourinhos side, which is six points behind its neighbor.The most impressive performance of the day came from Arsenal, which marked the 20th anniversary of Arsene Wengers appointment by ruthlessly beating Chelsea 3-0.It was one of these moments in your life as a manager when you think `OK, today is a great day, Wenger said.The days biggest scorer was Liverpool, which routed Hull 5-1, while Tottenham was second after winning 2-1 at Middlesbrough.Here is a closer look at the days eight Premier League games:---MANCHESTER UNITED 4, LEICESTER 1United goals all came in a sparkling first-half display. Juan Mata -- Rooneys replacement in the No. 10 role -- Marcus Rashford, and Paul Pogba scored in a rampant five-minute spell. United took the lead through Chris Smalling, the captain in place of Rooney.United ended a run of two straight league defeats, but Leicester has lost three of its opening six games, as many as in its 38-game title-winning campaign last season.SWANSEA 1, MANCHESTER CITY 3Back from suspension and immediately back in the goals, Sergio Aguero scored twice to take his tally to 11 in six games. Raheem Sterling grabbed the other goal for City and the only blot was the sight of playmaker Kevin De Bruyne limping off late on with an apparent hamstring injury.ARSENAL 3, CHELSEA 0Chelseas defensive frrailties were exposed as Antonio Contes team was left with one point from three league games in September.dddddddddddd Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil provided the goals in the first half that gave the Gunners their first league win over Chelsea in five years. Chelsea hadnt even conceded a league goal to Arsenal since January 2013 before this capitulation.LIVERPOOL 5, HULL 1With nine goals in its first two home games, a new-look Anfield is becoming a fortress for Liverpool under Juergen Klopp.Liverpool was already on its way to a third straight league win when Ahmed Elmohamady was sent off in the 29th minute. James Milner converted the resulting penalty to double the lead already established by Adam Lallana. Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho added further goals before Milner was on target again from the penalty spot.MIDDLESBROUGH 1, TOTTENHAM 2Son Heung-min stepped up in Harry Kanes injury absence with two goals. Kane, last seasons top scorer in the league, injured his right ankle last weekend and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.But Son, who wanted to leave Tottenham in the offseason, scored his second double inside two weeks, netting both inside 23 minutes at Middlesbrough. It was a third consecutive loss for Middlesbrough, but a third league win in a row for Tottenham.BOURNEMOUTH 1, EVERTON 0Evertons unbeaten start to the league ended as Junior Stanislas scored a 20-yard drive to give Bournemouth its second win of the campaign.SUNDERLAND 2, CRYSTAL PALACE 3Still searching for its first win of the season, Sunderland established a 2-0 lead through Jermain Defoes double strike, and then threw it away. The collapse began in the 61st minute when Patrick van Aanholt deflected Joe Ledleys shot past his own goalkeeper. James McArthur equalized and Christian Benteke headed in the winner in stoppage time.STOKE 1, WEST BROM 1Stoke was denied its first win of the season in stoppage time when Salomon Rondons header canceled out Joe Allens strike.
