Montoya and McLaren got lucky - they changed his engine before he went out for a lap, and managed to convince the officials that this doesn't constitute a change (he was due a new engine anyway). Seems a pretty fine distinction if you ask me, since the expense is the same whether you bin an engine in the garage or on the track - it would be more logical on that basis to say that the engine starts being used once you fit it and start it, since it is presumably bench tested before they ship it to the circuit.
Given the ongoing WCC battle with Renault and McLaren that'll create just a smidge of extra tension.
