2010 engine usage – who has what left?

If a reminder about the importance of a reliable engine were needed, then Sebastian Vettel’s failure ten laps before the end of the Korean Grand Prix was it. Watching the smoke billow from the back of Vettel’s Red Bull was a cursory reminder that nothing in Formula One racing is certain and that a car’s reliability is just as important as its pace.

The rules are clear cut, specifying that each driver may use no more than eight engines during a championship campaign. And if a driver uses more than eight? He automatically drops 10 places on the starting grid of the event at which an additional unit is to be used.
