Unless I'm misreading them, TR 28.4.e and TR 34.1 state that once an engine is used, if removed, it may not be used again in qualy or race until the final race of the season.
Then again, the terminology used is (typically FIA) vague.
Fancy Red Bull to run out of engines towards the end of the season. Hamilton to win the WDC from Webber
Ferrari are in the worst shape of all, engine-wise. Alonso and Massa both ran their seventh engines today. The rumour is they will fit #8 for Monza. The likelihood of completing the six remaining races on one engine is very, VERY slim.
They can still use the previous ones unless they are all blown off, which I don't think is the case.
They will just use a fresh engine for Monza and use used engines for Singapore, Brazil etc.
Obviously it's better to have used 6 engines rather than 7, but they can do it without any penalty unless things go wrong.
