Spanish GP: Sebastian Vettel gets five-place gearbox penalty

Sebastian Vettel will be hit with a five-place grid penalty for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull has confirmed.

The four times Formula 1 world champion was classified 10th in qualifying after being hit with a gearbox problem early in Q3.

Initially, Vettel lost only second gear and attempted to continue before the problem worsened.

He stopped on track, but the team has found that the gearbox problem necessitates a change.

F1 regulations demand that drivers use their gearbox for six consecutive events, with the five-place grid penalty the consequence of the need to change the gearbox.

This means he will be relegated to 15th place on the grid, behind Kevin Magnussen's McLaren.

Revised grid:
