Ferrari not worried about Raikkonen engine

Raikkonen suffered a minor water leak in the closing stages of the Albert Park race, and that prompted a full investigation from Ferrari to work out whether the power unit would still be good enough to last the Malaysia event.

The engine was flown back to the team's Maranello base for analysis and, following simulation work at Sepang last week to repeat the water leak problem on another power unit, the team eventually decided that there were no concerns for this weekend.

Ferrari's engine chief Gilles Simon said the team have no worries that there will be any problems as a result of what happened in Australia.

"We did some simulation and we understood that it was not a difficult situation for the engine," he said. "And so there was no reason to change the engine as it was completely safe.

"We will run as normal. We are reasonably confident that the engine will last the race."
