After Rossi's YZR-M1 ran out of fuel just past the chequered flag his
remark was "like Enzo Ferrari said, the perfect race car is the one
that breaks down right after the line".... To correct Valentino, FIM
Motogp regulations 2010 state that "the perfect Motogp engine breaks
down after 6 free practice sessions, 3 warm-ups and 3 races". Thats 6
engines and 18 races per season, Right?

That could well be a translation issue. Certainly in Spanish "to
breakdown" is "to have a fault".
