Kimi's engine problem?

Kimi Raikkonen's Suzuka weekend got off to a bad start on Friday morning when the Finn suffered what appeared to be an engine failure just 20 minutes into the first session. It is not yet clear whether this will entail a change of engines and a drop of 10 places on the grid but that certainly looks like a possible conclusion. The team will only know that when the car is returned to the garage at the end of the session.
