Engine change on Alonso's car

Renault believes that Fernando Alonso was on course for a front row starting slot in Malaysia before the spin in Turn 14 which sentenced him to the back of the grid. In the circumstances, the team has elected to change engine and start Alonso from the pit lane, which also means that the crew can change his fuel load.

Nothing much to lose given that he was going to start towards the back anyway. Will we see this happening with other leading drivers/teams when faced with similar circumstances throughout the season?
