In general, this loss rate denoted by dJ/dt depends on the angular velocity Omega in the form dJ/dt alpha Omega(q), where q is a parameter from nonextensive statistical mechanics. In the context of the stellar rotation, this parameter is directly related to the braking index. For q equal to unity, the scenario of the saturation of the magnetic field is recovered. Such an approach was proposed and investigated by de Freitas and De Medeiros for unsaturated field stars. We propose a new nonextensive approach for the stellar rotational evolution based on the Reiners and Mohanty model. We developed a nonextensive version of Reiners and Mohanty torque, and compare it with the model proposed in de Freitas and De Medeiros, by using a sample of velocity v sin i for similar to 16000 field F- and G- stars. As a result, we show that the Kawaler and Reiners-Mohanty models exhibit strong discrepancies in relation to the domain of validity of the entropic index q. These discrepancies are mainly due to sensitivity on the stellar radius. Our results also showed that the modified Kawaler prescription is consistent in a wider mass ranges, while the Reiners and Mohanty model is restricted to masses less than from G6 stars.
