Yeah, I was reading that Massa is pissed because supposedly his motor took a crap at the end of the Bahrain Race. He did finish the event, but given the 2 race engine rule, he is -10 spots on the starting grid going into the weekend.

David Coulthard is in the same boat with his Ferrari engine. It expired on the cool down lap last weekend, so the FIA says that both cars made engine change between events, so they're penalized. I think they'd have been better off to blow up during the race and go on with no penalty.
