Scummi and possible engine change???
Posted: 17 Mar 06 5:08 PM (United Kingdom)

Hmm looks like Ferrari's engines are really struggling.....we know Massa and DC have both got engine changes for this weekend...and now talks of Scummi not needing an engine change YET !!

 

from ITV/F1/com

NO ENGINE CHANGE FOR SCHU - YET

Ferrari has no intention of changing Michael Schumacher's engine prior to the Malaysian Grand Prix, despite concerns that his V8 may suffer the same fate as his team-mate Felipe Massa's

The Brazilian and customer Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard both incurred 10-place grid penalties in Sepang after they required engine changes.

Technical director Ross Brawn told ITV Sport: "Michael's engine is fine, but we are monitoring the situation."

Ferrari's plans may change on Saturday however when the engine will be expected to complete as much as another 60 laps.

Schumacher did allow that while he intends to stick with the motor for now, he has not ruled out the possibility of an engine change over the weekend.

"At the moment there isn't a real problem, but we'll check it and reflect over it. We'll know with certainty tomorrow," he said.

"Let's put it this way: there is a theoretical possibility we'll have to change the engine, but I hope it won't happen."

 

Hmm I cant see Scummi making his way through the  field like Kimi did last weekend...but could be fun to watch if he has to !!

Well Ferrari dont seem so strong in the Malaysian heat so I dont think he would be able to plough through the field like Kimi did.

I would like to see a bit of reliability problems with Ferrari for a change. Too bad that I actually like Felipe and the Red Bull engine customers


I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere.

Right ok ...  so Scummi  HAS had to have an engine change... so 2 engines for Massa, 1 each for DC and Scummi... Hmmmmm does this mean that Ferrari have screwed up on  something ( stands back in horror !!!) what Im having a  GREAT deal of trouble with though is RBR had Cosworth - ok  not the strongest and most powerful engines on the track BUT it was reliable ( one engine failure for DC and the team the whole season) and look where Williams are now - BEING POWERED by Cosworth ..Arghh  SOOo damn frustrating !!
Now the question is how many laps will Klein do in his RB car as its the only one so far NOT to have an engine failure???

And then  we heard from Briatore that they are  looking at Alonso's car INCASE theres an engine problem .....Hmmm high DNF rate tomorrow I feel !!!

Alonso had some hydraulic problems, but Briatore said they could fix it

This is the hottest race of the season so it is clear that we will have some engines blow up here. Firstly, most engines already have one race on their back, secondly these are newly developed engines

Anyway, I like the line up - going to be an interesting race tomorrow
