[QUOTE="McZiderRed, post: 9172, member: 34"] Poor Sebastian Vettel. He was looking like a title contender, but his Renault engines seem to be letting him down. There are six races remaining this season, but Vettal has used up six of his eight engine allocation for this year. Puts him, and RBR, in a bit of a pickle! There are few options open to Vettel. Turn down the engine performance and hope the remaining engines last (with a bit of help from his already used engines from earlier in the season) or carry on as normal and take the hit of a potential grid penalty if he has to use a ninth engine. What does eveyone think is the best option? Does Vettal nurse his remaining engines home, or does he go for broke, hope his luck is in so the remaining two engines "give him wings", and potentially risk "flying too close to the sun". * I reckon this is a toughy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. My opinion would be to race as normal. Going conservative is no guarantee that he'll remain incident free anyway... Perhaps someone has an alternative option for Vettal? F1Fanatic has an article on the subject.
