Ferrari confident of no engine trouble for Michael Schumacher
Ferrari are confident that Michael Schumacher will not have any trouble with his car's engine at the title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix coming up on Sunday.
German driver Michael Schumacher was forced to retire from the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks ago after his engine failed him.
Michael Schumacher needs to win the race in Sao Paulo and he is hopeful that Fernando Alonso fails to win a point if he is to claim his eighth world title before he retires.
"The Suzuka problem was a one-off, we hope," said technical boss Ross Brawn.
"It was a failure of the top end of a valve, where it connects to the collets around the pneumatic piston - nothing we've seen before.
"So we've been super-vigilant on the build of these engines to try and make sure we can avoid the problem occurring again.
"But we don't have a complete explanation for what happened," Ross Brawn added.
Michael Schumacher had been in the lead for the race and the championship when his engine failed at Suzuka.
