Esteban Ocon does not need a new engine for the Monaco Grand Prix after it was found that his Spanish problem was due to an oil leak.

Ocon’s Spanish Grand Prix came to an early end when the Mercedes engine powering his Force India seemed to let go in a puff of smoke.

The Frenchman parked his VJM on lap 41, calling it quits on a “disappointing day.”

Force India subsequently examined the engine with Motorsport.com reporting that they traced the problem to an oil system failure.

Software designed to protect the engine is believed to have kicked in, saving the power unit from damage.
