Ferrari have changed Felipe Massa’s engine after it showed some ‘abnormal parameters’.
It’s not the best start to season, with drivers only having eight engines to last the entire 19-race calendar, after that drivers will face penalties for engine changes.
A statement by Ferrari reads: “At 10am, when the FIA rules allow to work on the cars, the mechanics started to work on the F10 #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.”
