Sebastian Vettel ended his day today with a problem with the engine. At the end of the second free practice session, there was a big thud and the Ferrari was leaking a lot of fluid on the track.

New engine for Vettel

It now seems that Ferrari will replace the internal combustion engine of Vettel after it broke at the end of FP2. At the beginning of the third free practice, a new one will be placed in the SF1000.

The internal combustion engine that broke down earlier today will send the Scuderia back to its home base in Maranello to determine the causes of the failure and possibly also to repair it.
