ok at the start of the season the FIA said engines had to last 2 races..if the engine failed or was changed then you got a 10 place penalty for the next race

At the first rae the wto BARs withdrew before the end of the race so that they could start Malaysia with a new engine. Also Schey and Heidfeld had a nwe engine for Malaysia as they both crashed.

In the second race both BARs failed to finish due to engine failure.

For the Bahrain GP both BARs had new engines and also Schuey had a new car and engine. None of these drivers had a 10 place grid penalty. Why ?
