Adrian Sutil retired during the race with a blown engine. Malaysian GP:
Mark Webber retired from FP2 with a blown engine.
Fernando Alonso retired during the race with a blown engine
Kamui Kobayashi retired during the race with an engine problem
Pedro de la Rosa retired at the race start with an engine problem Chinese GP:
Fernando Alonso lost an engine during free practice
Pedro de la Rosa lost an engine during the race
Timo Glock lost an engine during the race Spanish GP:
Vitantonio Luizzi lost an engine during the race Monaco GP:
Jenson Button retired with an overheating problem as the team forgot to remove a radiator cover before his installation lap Turkish GP
Mark Webber is believed to have lost an engine at the end of FP2
Lucas di Grassi changed his engine for the race after complaining of lack of speed during qualification Canadian GP
Pedro de la Rosa lost an engine during the race German GP
Sakon Yamamoto accidentally pressed the fire lever which turned of his engine during the race, that engine may be used again Hungarian GP
Jaime Alguersuari lost an engine during the race Belgian GP
Pedro de la Rosa took his ninth engine of the season after qualifying, earning him a ten place grid drop. His eighth engine may now only be used for free practice sessions
Using additional engines incurs a ten place starting grid penalty at the first race that each additional engine is used, see regulations tab for detailed overview of rules. Key: Number of engines used (not necessarily the actual engine used for that race)
Once again, gearboxes are required to last for four races, otherwise a 5-place grid penalty is incurred

Engine and Gearbox Regulations
Relevant 2010 Engine Regulations:
28.4
a) Each driver may use no more than eight engines during a Championship season. Should a driver use more than eight engines he will drop ten places on the starting grid at the first Event during which each additional engine is used. If two such additional engines are used during a single Event the driver concerned will drop ten places on the starting grid at that Event and at the following Event. An engine will be deemed to have been used once the car's timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane.
b) If a driver is replaced at any time during the Championship season his replacement will be deemed to be the original driver for the purposes of assessing engine usage.
c) After consultation with the relevant engine supplier the FIA will attach seals to each engine prior to it being used for the first time at an Event in order to ensure that no significant moving parts can be rebuilt or replaced. Within two hours of the end of the post race parc fermé exhaust blanking plates (with one 10mm diameter inspection hole per cylinder) and further seals will be applied to all used engines in order to ensure that these engines cannot be run between Events. Upon request to the FIA these additional seals will be removed after the start of initial scrutineering at the next Event at which the engines are required. All such engines must remain within the team's designated garage area when not fitted to a car and may not be started at any time during an Event other than when fitted to a car eligible to participate in the Event.
d) If any of the FIA seals are damaged or removed from an engine after it has been used for the first time that engine may not be used again unless they were removed under FIA supervision.
e) If an engine is changed in accordance with Article 34.1 (in post qualifying parc fermé) the engine which was replaced may not be used during any future qualifying session or race with the exception of the last Event of the Championship.
Relevant 2010 Gearbox Regulations:
28.6 For the purposes of this Article only, an Event will be deemed to comprise P3, the qualifying practice session and the race.
a) Each driver may use no more than one gearbox for four consecutive Events in which his team competes. Should a driver use a replacement gearbox he will drop five places on the starting grid at that Event and an additional five places each time a further gearbox is used. Any replacement gearbox must be fitted with the same gear ratios that were declared under d) below and will only be required to complete the remainder of the Event in question. Any change to the gear ratios declared under d) below will incur a further five grid place penalty. In either case a new four race sequence may start at the following Event. Unless the driver fails to finish the race (see below) the gearbox fitted to the car at the end of the Event must remain in it for three further Events. Any driver who failed to finish the race at the first, second or third of the four Events for reasons which the technical delegate accepts as being beyond the control of the team or driver, may start the following Event with a different gearbox without a penalty being incurred. A gearbox will be deemed to have been used once the car's timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane.
b) If a driver is replaced after the first, second or third of a four Event period, having finished the first, second or third Events, the replacement driver must use the gearbox which the original driver had been using.
c) After consultation with the relevant team the FIA will attach seals to each gearbox in order to ensure that no moving parts, other than those specifically permitted under d) below, can be rebuilt or replaced.
d) At each Event seals may be broken once, under supervision and at any time prior to the second day of practice, for the sole purpose of changing gear ratios and dog rings (excluding final drives or reduction gears). Competitors must inform the FIA technical delegate which ratios they intend to fit no later than two hours after the end of P2. Gear ratios and dog rings (excluding final drives or reduction gears) may also be changed under supervision for others of identical specification at any time during an Event provided the FIA technical delegate is satisfied there is evident physical damage to the parts in question and that such changes are not being carried out on a systematic basis.
e) Other than under d) above, a replacement gearbox will also be deemed to have been used if any of the FIA seals are damaged or removed from the original gearbox after it has been used for the first time.
