Does anyone know what the current status of each drivers engine count is?

The rules stipulate each driver can use only 8 engines per season, with such a tight championship at the moment will this have any affect in the later stages of the season?

It would be good to keep a running tally in this thread

They said on the BBC1 race commentary that Ferrari are over half way through engine allowance

I guess we can count Ferrari out for the WDC.

well if it is like last year where the Merc seemed to work better because it did not loose as much power as the other engines.

didnt Mclaren tell Button to turn down the power on his engine to save fuel and preserve the engine last weekend?

Yeah, but it was more the former than the latter - he deliberately started the race on low fuel as part of an aggressive strategy. I don't think saving the engine was the overriding priority!
