Massa engine penalty
Probably deserving of a thread on its own (for now ).

Thats a bit crap, Im not a huge fan of his but he's been good for Schumachers title fight.

Shame for Massa, but same for everyone if they take an engine change. Its not crap, its the rule.

It's the first time for a long time that Ferrari have done this.How far are they pushing?,bearing in mind that they need a decent power plant for next season.Will reliability cost TGF the title?

Not great from a racing perspective, but it's nice to see the luck even itself out a bit. Even though I want Alonso to win the title, it'd be a shame if an engine penalty for Schumacher affected things.

A shame for Massa, but at least the main title fight will be (hopefully) reliable!
I prefer Alonso versus Michael than Alonso versus Massa & Michael. |

this imo is a pretty big story. just so many stories and questions comming together to make this a great battle.
-were Massa and MS running the same spec engine? will it affect MS race strat? -does this serve as a counterpoint to Renaults engine problems as of late? -will concerns about having the best engine prior to the freeze in Japan affect the Championship? this is all just too much to ask for, artificial or not, i havent been this excited about the end of season for a long time (better than '03) |

Ferrari suspect this will not signal problems for Michael's engine. The logic behind this is clear.

No, I believe his reasonings there. And judging by the season pattern, he is probably right.
He has grounds for optimism let's say! But certainly, he won't exactly come out and say Michael has a duff engine, it is hopeless and all is lost. |

true their engines have been reliable to date so i should also be inclined to accept his comments at face value.
but is the situation similar to that of Renault's? with the final spec engine before the freeze due by Japan, most of the teams have been experiencing problems with their final upgrades for the year. imo RB response only hightens my uncertainty, rather that allieviating my fears. |

I hope the world championship won't be decided by the regulations... Hopefully Schumacher's engine will last the whole weekend, and we might see a fantastic battle between Alonso and Schumi.
