I presume there's some method by which "Engine A" is identifiable as "Engine A" to prevent, say, "Engine A" being used in the first race, being rebuilt using almost completely different parts, and being reused a few races later, still as "Engine A". Or something like that. Essentially the old routine about having the same brush for years, only changing the handle four times and the brush six...

I wonder also if this rule change has anything to do with a likely increase in unreliability with all the new KERS stuff on the cars (some would say there's already too many 'kers in F1 already...

)
