( CNN ) -- Fernando Alonso says the reaction of his fellow drivers to Formula One 's controversial new rule changes after the opening Grand Prix of the season was `` hot-headed . '' The Spaniard claimed victory in Bahrain on his debut for Ferrari but fellow drivers Michael Schumacher , Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were critical of 2010 's new laws . They include a ban on refuelling during the race and that the grid 's top ten drivers must start the race on the tires they used to complete the final qualifying session . But Alonso says it is too early to consider changing the rules and has pleaded for patience . He said on Ferrari 's official Web site : `` I think that many of us have given some hot-headed comments immediately after the race in Bahrain . `` It 's true that the race in Sakhir was n't especially spectacular -- although for us Ferraristi it was great and exciting -- but it 's too early to talk about changing the rules . `` We have to see how the tyres behave with different fuel loads and temperatures , which will be different from the ones we had during testing and in Bahrain . `` We have to wait and see different races and check the situation , without being emotional . Something that confuses the fans is changing the rules all the time . '' Alonso and teammate Felipe Massa gave Ferrari the perfect start to the season with a one-two in Bahrain , but the Spaniard says no-one is getting carried away . He added : `` The one-two win in Sakhir gave us confidence and was a great result for the hard work during the winter on the track and at the works , but we ca n't take anything for granted . `` We have to stay with our feet on the ground , keeping calm and staying concentrated -- in Melbourne we 're starting from square one . `` Nothing has changed for me -- there are four teams and eight drivers who can fight for victory and we have to give it our all to stay ahead of everybody else . `` I like the Albert Park track . It 's quite a technical circuit with some pretty interesting corners . Overtaking has never been easy and what is even more important now , like on all city circuits , is the result in the qualifying . ''
