FIA to inspect Massa's engine

Apparently Massa's engine, which was on it's second race, will be inspected by the FIA this week. This will be the second time the FIA has done this, the previous one was Hamilton's after the German GP. At least it will quash the theory that there was bias towards Mercedes in this respect. There's no suggestion that they are actually looking for anything as such, merely to see if all the bits inside are the same bits as when it was sealed, I guess.

Maybe they ought to take a Renaul engine and try and work out why it's so gutless!!

Is this a random inspection? How often are they supposed to do this? Is it just the FIA trying to look busy?

From what I recall reading, its a random inspection. But considering theres very little thats random with the FIA, except their rules, they may be trying to assuage a few feelings here by choosing to inspect Massa's engine ;)
The engine inspection is a stated plan though.

They've "randomly" Selected the engines of top 2 drivers in the WDC? <think>

It's a random number generator that is designed to produce all integers between 1 and 23 inclusive, but always spits out 2 or 22 <think>

It'd probably be more of an autopsy than an inspection <roflmao>
