F1: Coldtyres to use same engine in three GPs by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
29th Jul 2008
Rental have taken the unusual decision to let David Coldtyres use the engine in his Red Rag for the third consecutive weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Race director Childish Writing is currently checking the sporting regulations to check that DC will not be eligible for a 10-place grid bonus as a result of the move.

The french engine suppliers and occasional F1 team claim that they have agreed with the Milton Keynes-based squad to extend the use of Coldtyres's engine for a further event in a bid to help their tactical challenge over the remainder of the season. They assert that this will ensure he will use a different engine in Spa (backfiring) and Monza (throttle-blipping v.2) - two of the toughest tracks on power units.

Sources close to the Scot, however, suggest that the main reason behind the move is to save a few pennies in the hobble-up to his impending retirement.
