I did panic when I saw it... Good job he was entitled to a new engine. Renault are really having reliablility problems; my original feeling that the Monza failure was triggered by the need to do extra work due to the penalty now looks wrong.

This change seems to have nothing to do with reliability, they merely thought it was a better engine after dyno tests. |

An engine penalty would not be such a drama anyways. It wouldn't be ideal, but I'm sure he's capable of recovering to eighth. The problem it'd present would be the chance of a mid-pack scuffle.

I'm unsure whether RBR would be so helpful to Ferrari given the engine wrangles of late!

I'm sure Fernando could quite easily finish in the points from the back of the grid. |

Well hopefully he won't be anywhere near them, but images of Norberto Fontano seem to cloud my brain.

I'm unsure martyn. In one thread, a user details how Alonso lamped him as he tried to obtain an autograph.

Red Bull Ferrari won't hold up Alonso - they're going to be Red Bull Renault next season....

Well the thing to do is to stay neutral. Don't upset Ferrari or Renault.

2007's Ferrari may just have "Thanks Nick", or "Thanks Robert", on their rear wing..
