The situation with engines:
All those drivers that didn't cross the finish line are entitled to a fresh engine without incurring a penalty. Those are:
- Ide
- Villeneuve
- Fisichella
- Albers
Any other driver that changes their engine for Malaysia will be penalised 10 places on the grid for each change.

What I think is unfair is that DC's engine blew only seconds after he crossed the line, and he gets penalized...

Both Coulthard (Red Bull Racing) and Massa (Ferrari) will have their engines changed for Malaysia thus incurring a 10 place penalty on the grid.
Neither driver scored points in Bahrain!
