It sounds a bit odd. Then again, both engines having issues right away is a bit odd too, after running without issues for a week. We'll have to await further statements I guess.

Yeah it makes no sense, 1 lap then waste hours of testing. What was so important about that 1 lap, that they needed to do it and then change engine. Why not have the engine changed ready for 9am.

Of course it wasn't...They had days to do so, doing it now would be incredibly stupid.

South Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran and all other countries and territories
that have reported cases of Covid-19 caused by the novel coronavirus.
