This is an interesting technical update at the halfway point of the season providing information on engine and chassis usage per driver. You can see the life of an F1 engine is very short to produce the kind of performance that we are so used to. Imagine your normal car engine needs at least 1000km to properly run it in, an F1 engine needs to be re-built after 1000km. This report was provided by F1Technical.net.
(Until after GP of Great Britain, Silverstone)

* Sutil used Chassis 3 for FP1, 2 and 3, but when he smashed the car up in Quali 2 at Silverstone he needed a new chassis built overnight for the race, thus chassis number 1 was built up.
