Mercedes woe continues as Hamilton suffers hardware failure
Mercedes' early-season struggles continued on Friday at the Japanese Grand Prix as team principal Toto Wolff alluded to Lewis Hamilton losing one of his four allotted engines, meaning the seven-time world champion could face grid penalties later in the season.
"That one is for the bin," Wolff told a press conference between the first practice sessions at Suzuka circuit.
"It is a very highly unusual failure that we have a hardware failure that we didn't see coming before. So yeah, we can't reuse that. And it depends how the season develops, whether we need one more or not. I can't really say at this stage."

I'm betting the anxiety level in the Mercedes garage is considerably higher on that news.
