News from BMW confirm that Heidfeld had an engine change due yto a faulty exhaust valve.
They've used Webber's engine in Heidfeld's car and they are waiting for 2 new spec engines to be delivered before the start of the 1st Saturday practice session tomorrow.

That is why Webber isn't doing any running as they want to give him one of the new spec engines.

But why they gave Webber's engine to Heidfeld in the first place isn't explained!

that's because they want to change Webber's engine to a new-spec-one wothout losing 10 places in qualif.
Heidfeld had to change it anyway so that's why they did so.
(for this race NH had to use the same engine he used at imola, but Webber can use a new one)
