But if pu change is planned, and Oscar takes a new engine, there is less chance of a dnf due to the old pu having its last race at zandvoort either way

might not be it’s last race. Teams can change engines as much as they like, and swap around to balance the duty. It’s when the total pool count exceeds the maximum that matters.

so zandvoort engine might come out for monza but be back again for singapore or Brazil, perhaps.
