Fernando's engine blew off and the team confirmed that they are going to change it, as they had been thinking of doing between the sessions anyway. And more "inside" drama for Red Bull as Webber complains and accuses team for inaquality. Vettel responds that the two drivers "are never gonna be friends after that."

So Fernando's engine finally gone. Luckily it was on race day though. But he will have to face the penalty. Lets see what they will do now.

Wasn't a surprising result at all, RBR continue on their great pace "oh well"

Yes dear witch, there are plenty of things happen inside RBR garage. If anyone interested to read it here is the topic LOL :-

Horner hits back at Domenicali

Vettel defends Red Bull's fairness

Horner denies Red Bull favours Vettel

RBR open to giving Webber priority


sure a lots isn't it? But news no:1 - Oh dear SD has a large mouth to start the war... wow LOL

And thanks dear Witch for helping me to update the practice time.

does fernando get a five place gird penalty?

---

Well, I'm guessing it's going to be a bad race for fernando.

[WiTcH]

Not a five ali...I think it is a TEN places penalty for the race. I may be wrong though...
And no problem dear Jenni! As I was in to follow the practice session it was my pleasure to help.

Yes dear witch you are right, it is ten place penalty. Well we all expecting it right? If not this weekend, he will definitely have to change it in Abu Dhabi.

On the other side, i found this interesting news :-

Massa threatened with jail over team orders

Quote:But Paulo Castilho, a prosecutor in Brazil's Special Criminal Court, has told newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo that Massa will "leave Interlagos in handcuffs" should he let Alonso through, with the lawyer apparently ready to press charges of defrauding the Brazilian public under laws protecting the rights of fans to witness fair spectacles.

Well i never trust other sources, this is mainly just for sharing, is from Eurosport and tell me what you all think.

[WiTcH]

Put Massa handcuffs? OH NO! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE!! You should better take his f1 driving license forever...

[icegirljenni]

huh? LOLLLLL

This is FP2 result :

Massa car stop during the session. Fernando impressive 3rd place and RBR concour 1 and 2

[ali786]

i dont understand this...is fernando going to get a penalty for changing an engine during practice 1?

[WiTcH]

Ferrari faced problems again. This time some hydraulic issues for Massa... And Red Bull kept their pace. We will see what happens tomorrow on free practice 3.

but, Does fernando have a penalty for his engine change? yes or no?

[Chrissie]

No Fernando will not get a penalty...the engine that let go in practice was an old one that was near the end of its life anyway....he will have his "proper" engine in tomorrow - the one that did Monza

[maranellored]

Alonso can't be penalised for a new engine as he does not have any left.

Practice was fairly positive - 2nd practice anyway - heavy on fuel and still in the top 3.

Fingers crossed FA still has enough mileage to see this race through!!!

Yes but you can take a ninth engine with the the penalty of 10 grid slots - is it just me or is this a really simple rule people can't seem to understand??


(Not meaning to sound rude or anything)

[icegirljenni]

The blown engine on FP1 has equally same life as the one he has used in Monza right? I read it over somewhere i cant remember. Correct me if am wrong.

[ashyxt]

what a relief, the phrase "engine change" scared the shit out of me, luckily it was a reality that Ferrari had everything planned to squeeze the very last drop out of old engines to minimize the usage of newer engines!

so we wish Fernando the best of the best of the best luck in Qualifying & Race! he & Ferrari have got the rest!

[WiTcH]

Well so there won't be a ninth engine for Fernando at this race? He uses the old ones so no pelnalty, right?

[icegirljenni]

3rd free practice all mixing with rain huh

They can only use 8 engine in season without the penalty so 9th engine means penalty.
