Remember the ringing of hands about the 5 engine rule and 20 liters fuel.
The 20 liter fuel capacity has been a non issue, and the engine situation after 17 races is just mind boggling.
Amazing, not 1 engine has been withdrawn from service for either the Honda or Yamaha factory teams. Here is a hand to those big brain fuckers who make it all possible

MotoGP Engines after Sepang - Photo.GP
Here is an update to MotoGP engines after Sunday Warm Up at Sepang. Data taken from official Dorna Engine Lists.
Honda
Again, factory teams (Honda and Yamaha only) are limited to five engines for the season.
Marquez used engines #4 and #5 over the weekend, racing engine #5. None has been withdrawn from allocation, though Marquez has not used engine #1 since Catalunya and #2 since Assen.
Pedrosa also used #4 and #5 from his allotment over the weekend, and also raced #5. He has not used engine #2 since Catalunya, and last used #1 at Indianapolis. He also no engines withdrawn from allocation.
Bradl still has four engines in service with one withdrawn from allocation, and used engine #5 for the race. Engine #2 was withdrawn at Assen, and he has not used #1 since Silverstone.
Bautista still has three engines in use with two withdrawn. He used engines #4 and #5 over the weekend, racing #5. Interestingly, Bautista has not used engine #1 since the race at Assen. While #1 has not been withdrawn from allocation, Bautista has been using #4 and #5 since Round 9 in Germany. That’s nine rounds on two engines.
Yamaha
Rossi still has five engines in service. Until Sunday he used #3 and #4. For Warm Up he used #4 and #5, then raced #5. Also with five engines in his allotment, he has not used #1 since FP2 at Indianapolis, and he has not used #2 since the race at Catalunya.
Lorenzo started using his fifth engine at Phillip Island. He used #3, #4 and #5 at Sepang, racing #5. The longest rest any of his engines has had is that of #1, which has not been used since Misano. He also has none removed from allocation.
Pol Espargaro saw his #1 engine withdrawn at Sepang, but he still has one engine yet to be used. He raced #3.
Smith has four engines running with one not yet in service. He raced engine #2.
