Raikkonen gets new engine for Silverstone
As suggested after the French Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen will get a fresh engine for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. During the French GP, two weeks ago, the exhaust of the right bank of Raikkonen's engine broke off and burned a hole in the bodywork of the car. As the 2008 regulations state that a driver is permitted one penalty-free engine change, 'the Iceman' will not get a grid-penalty.
Stefano Domenicali said: "As far as Kimi's engine is concerned and keeping the rules in mind, to avoid a penalty, I think that we will use a new unit to try to reduce the risk."
