General conclusions for the 2006 season: Most relyable engine was the Renault RS26 of all revisions, only 2 changes. Least relyable was the Cosworth CA2006, witch worries me for 2010. engines were designed to last up to 1200km, but on average did arround 850-1000km. The driver that worried me the most was Jacques, he was poppins engines every second or third race, Kubica didnt pop a engine at all. Button, Barrichello, Coulthard, Sato, Rossberg each used 11 engines for the season.

General Conclusions for the 2007 season: Most Relyable was the Ferari 056 as they supplied 3 teams (Ferarri, STR & Force India) and had to keep a track of arround 54 blocks for the year. Least relyable engine was just the Honda RA807E, but only by one engine, they had the exace same persentage score as the Toyota RVX-07, but Toyota had one less engine that the Honda guys. Egines were built to last roughly 1400-1600km, but generally lasted arround 1100-1300km. The driver that worried me most was Jenson Button again, he used 11 engines for the season. Coulthard, Barrichello, Fisichella and Kubica/Vettel (Vettel raced for BMW in the US GP as a replacement for Kubica after his accedent in Canada so his values are included in the same row as Kubica) used 10 engines each.
