Ferrari changes Massa's engine

F1 Grand Prix, GP Bahrain, Bahrain International Circuit

The Bahrain GP race Sunday started with important news from the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro box. At 10am, when the FIA rules allow to work on the cars, the mechanics started to work on the F10 number 7, replacing its engine.

This is a completely precautionary step: the engine, used by Felipe Massa up to the qualifying yesterday afternoon shows, some abnormal parameters, but can still be used on the track, according to the applicable rules, during free practice sessions.

The decision, taken last night, will not lead to any sanctions for the Brazilian driver, who will start from the first row.
