Ferrari replaces Alonso's engine too out of precaution
Caution can never be enough, especially at the first race. That’s why the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro decided to replace also the engine in car number 8 after abnormalities appeared during the usual routine this morning, similar to those found in Felipe’s engine yesterday.
The mechanics are working incessantly to complete the replacement, which will not lead to any sanctions for the driver, who will start from the third position on the grid.
