what is the rule on engines per driver... Schumacher has raced none so can he have a fresh one in each of the 7 remaining races... :)

i dont think so . he will still have to follow the one engine for 2/3 race i guess. i do not remember seeing him blow a engine . apart from one in australia in 98-99?

I believe it is per car, not per driver. So Schumacher will have to use whatever Massa had left over.

It's not up to date, but supposing that Massa used a new engine for Nurburgring and the FP3 and Q in Hungary, MS will have 3 new engines + 1 engine with only one race on it for the remaining 3 races, which means 2 races (FP3, Q and race) per engine, and that is a very very good position to be in at this point.

Kubica has 2 engines left according to that site...anyone know what the ruling is on his options if he loses both of them before the end of the season?

(By loses I mean destroys btw :p )

10 places grid penalties for every new engine.
