So the Ferrari 1-2 might have cost 2 and maybe 3 engines.
I'm glad Ferrari won, but I think there are some troubling signs in their victory. Plus, RBR seems faster in general.

From what I heard from SPEED commentators...its possible it was because of the sand blowing into the radiator and affects the engine cooling...Ferrari replaced the engines as a precaution....so that they can still use the engine in later practice sessions and maybe race later....
and Rob Smedley just tell Felipe to settle down for P2 because engine preservation.....in case something will happen like Vettel.....
after all....eight engines for 19 races is harsh....they need to preserve as much as they can.....
