Massa takes a 10 place hit
Felipe Massa has had to change an engine this weekend, causing the Brazilian to take a 10 place drop on Sundays Chinese GP grid.
Massa said: “When I stopped the car I felt a different noise in the engine. We are checking inside the engine at the moment but we are definitely going to have to change.
"That really is not very good news, especially when you see the car is competitive.
“Straightaway I managed to make a good laptime and with the car I think we have the right package and the right tyres for the race.
"Starting ten places back is not really fantastic, but we will try and be motivated to do a great race."
This will obviously impact the Brazilians ability to help out championship challenger Michael Schumacher on Sunday.
However it seems he may not need Filipe's help in Sundays race, as championship leader Fernando Alonso is struggling to get the pace out of his Renault at the Chinese track.
