Ferrari is hoping they can re-use the parts that ended Kimi Raikkonen's first practice session early yesterday, as the Iceman ground to a halt at the side of the track.
The team later confirmed that an overheating turbo was the cause of the issue, and they changed the Internal Combustion Engine, Turbocharger and MGU-H for the second practice session.
"In FP1, power unit issues for Kimi, I think it was quite obvious," said Ferrari technical chief Mattia Binotto. "We changed it for the afternoon, just as a precaution, as it was important for us to make sure Kimi could run in the afternoon trouble-free.
"And then for what happened, honestly it's still to be fully understood. We will analyse all the parts and hopefully all the elements of the power unit could be used in the future once again and sorted out."
Out of the six components that make up a power unit, drivers are permitted to use four of each across an entire season before being handed penalties.
