During BBC Red Button commentary on P3 Ted Kravitz said that both Ferrari drivers had only two
engines available to complete the season. He said that these were engines 7 & 8 for each driver.
Implying that Ferrari have withdrawn the other 6 engines.
He also said that one of the engines for each driver had been used for Germany & Hungary,
was being used in Singapore and would also do Japan. The other engine had already done
Italy, and would do Korea, Brazil & Abu Dhabi.
Logically engine #8 was introduced for Monza, which I believe is confirmed by the FIA Tech.
Report. However, according to the Report for Spa, they both had new engines there as well,
so that would be engine #7, and the one used for Germany & Hungary was #6.
Ted might have confused the numbers, but unless the FIA docs are wrong - which is not
impossible - the #7 engines were only used for Spa and were then retired.
Or maybe I've misread the Tech Reports.
Opinions?
