Pretty much everybody used up their allowed engines, no? Can't remember who was the exception. What I don't understand is how you can 'baby' an engine if you have to run them flat out in order to win. Or does 100 or 200 rpm make a dramatic difference? But maybe there's some truth to Renault engines; SV has had more mechanical DNFs than everybody else this season, although not all of them were engine related. It's better to be penalized 5 grid positions than DNFing due to a blown engine, right?

Hey, does anybody know what oil those engines use? Just curious, as well as what the hell could have caused SV's engine to literally blow up, throwing pistons, rings, and all kinds of engine parts on the track. Is it oil breakdown? With so many sensors, you'd think engineering would detect tell tale signs of impending failure, no?
