Yeah, Lewis' engine has done insane amounts. His engine has also had cooling problems in Bahrain, China and Montreal. It's clearly on its last legs, sure in an ideal world it'd be able to do FP1 and 2 at a few race weekends to help with mileage on PU2 and maybe even cycle it back in for Hungary, because, well, it's Hungary and the engine is taken for a leisurely Sunday drive there. However, having to run PU1 in Montreal is scuppering all of that. It's throwing the engine itinerary out the window, and tied Lewis' hands in particular.
