Turkish GP: Barrichello follows teammate in engine change 

Rubens Barrichello has followed Honda Racing teammate Jenson Button in needing an engine change ahead of this afternoon’s Turkish Grand Prix. Button’s engine change was announced last night, while the FIA race stewards revealed this morning that Barrichello will also have his power unit replaced. With the engine changes coming after the start of qualifying, it means the drivers automatically get sent to the back of the grid. With Barrichello having outqualified Button it means he will line up 21st with Button 22nd.
