according to AMuS, Red Bull changed Verstappen's engine after the problems during FP2 yesterday - from an old one, to an ever older one

All things coming up Ferrari. They really need a clean weekend here and should definitely be walking away with a 1-2.

2. RP is looking so strong due to running in almost the highest PU modes coz I don`t think their upgraded package could give them such a speed advantage just to sit back 0.5 sec behind Lewis in FP2 ... hence as zibby43 said before me, Merc usually tends to run the lower modes in free practice but most of all when they bring a new spec PU in ...
maybe in the past years, but they absolutely smashed FP1 in Canada after bringing the new engine

Max himself said it was an older Engine they use for fp's to save race engine milage.

Yup, quick call, 1mil off engines next year if you kill the engine. One of those unknowable things, unless of course Hamilton doesn't get out at all, if they have extra time they'll use it so if they only get out with 2 minutes to go and get a lap in we can't easily say that they wouldn't have gotten out without the extra time. Without the delay they may have rushed and gotten it out. Just to be clear not seriously saying that they blew the engine, just saying won't know if he'd have gotten out without the delay.

Any conspiracy theories around that Williams of RK gone in flames? Is it because they need more time for LH and usually RK is the guinea pig? :D

Yup, I was under the impression they were both taking new engines, Albon was getting a penalty because it was the cars 4th, but it's Max's 3rd engine, but they still want to use up the old ones for FP1/2 to make race engines as fresh as possible.

Read the last line again, I literally added it to be clear. The rest of the comment is just talking about if he'd gotten out or not.
