Vettel’s engine cleared, new spec power unit for Malaysian GP
Sebastian Vettel’s engine was not damaged in his first-lap Singapore crash last weekend.
La Repubblica newspaper had reported that with his points deficit already blowing out to 28 points, Vettel might receive a further blow in the form of a grid penalty after photos showed damage to his Singapore power unit.
But Germany’s Auto Bild reports that Vettel’s engine “was not damaged” and can be used again later in the season.
Better still, Ferrari will roll out on schedule a new-specification power unit in Malaysia next weekend, the report added.
And teammate Kimi Raikkonen looks set to get right behind Vettel’s campaign to catch up with Lewis Hamilton in the next two months.
“As drivers, we know exactly what Ferrari expects from us,” the Finn is quoted by Speed Week.
“Of course I will help Vettel when it comes to the world title, just as I would expect help from him.”
Before Raikkonen can do that, though, Ferrari will have to tackle Sepang, a circuit expected to favour Mercedes.
Raikkonen said: “You assume it will be difficult for us. We don’t.
“We go there, it’s another race, another weekend, and we go there full of fight and we’ll do our best.”
Znaci potvrdjeno - Ferari ce voziti sa novim, upgrade-ovanim motorima u Maleziji, a pritom Kimi djeluje optimisticno
Ali da ne budu sve samo dobre vijesti, ceka nas jos jedan kisni vikend

Kad bi se to sad reklo, F1 bi izgubila 70% gledalaca u 2 nedelje... Bernie nikad nije voleo Alonsa, uvek je smatrao da je jako dosadan... Jel nekog čudi što je Alonso zaglavio na 2 titule? Hamilton je uvek bio ekstrovertan i takav je jako dobar za navijače koji se lako nalože i daju velike pare da bi ga gledali uživo ili da bi imali odevne predmete sa njegovim znakom. Seb je uvek bio dobar sa Berniem jer ovaj ceni njegovu inteligenciju. Paralelno sa tim, Mateshitz je uvek bio tu za Bernija, kao i Chris Horner (koji je neko vreme ozbiljno razmatran za naslednika Bernija, čime bi se njegova "vladavina" sportom nastavila iz senke) i zašto da čudi njihov uspeh? Mercedes je uložio vreme i novac u F1 i 4 godine nije bilo nikakvog uspeha. Otvoreno su rekli da neće još dugo ako uspeha ne bude... Ferrari već godinama kao opet preti, ali nisu u toj situaciji sad, nema tolike potrebe da osvoje titulu, dok su potrebe ova dva tima bile jako jako velike.
